Trunk is clean, like the stacked amps, but what is up with those doors man?

also looks like you have 2 boxes...one for the sub, and a completely separate "box" for your amps...

wasted space ftl

I use to have a cavalier, with the same door panels. GM made the built-in speaker grills an odd shape, oval similar to 6x9. IMO Id make some sort of backing panel thats mounted via the speaker screws, and expands out from there to cover the old grill. Maybe put a logo on it or something.

Otherwise, looks good man. Nice sub choice.

Is that really a separate box to hold up the amps? If so that is not good mang...

Trunk is far from "efficent" in design.The way the ED's are mounted is pretty cool. The doors don't look very well done.

Overall, looks like an average DIY install.

looks alright. What all did you have to do to squeeze that fifteen in there?

the ed amps are bridged, one for each front channel, so only 1 rca per amp, that rack is not an extra box, it is two boards held up by L shapped brackets made of mdf mounted to the back of the sub box. and to fit a 3.5 cu ft net box in there, i had to cut some sheet metal where the seat folds down, then great stuff, then fiberglass, then carpet. i will fix the doors, i like the idea about making a cover panel with a logo, maybe out of vinyl... and the amp rack is up so high because a hc2400 is below it, so it could not go any lower
