awesome, i love my mag, i had hd3's in, but got rid of them, i love the sound of the mag 1000x better... not that the hd3's were that bad, just the mag is that much better to me

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

WOW JUST ****ING GHETTO

Sorry man, looks horrible. just being honest.

far from the truth...

the volt meters cool...as is the truck..but you shoulda glassed the doors...i would still do that....way better than the average cavalier

Could have been alot worse, I would use some suede or something to cover up the panels. and the trunk maybe could use some re-working, overall good job.

I think it's good. Nice equipment, everything looks neat and laid out nicely, the wiring looks organized and everything's solidly mounted.

As far as the doors go, the addition of the second grill for the mid was unnecessary (unless the mid is mounted to the panel itself I can't tell).

That's a "dummy" window crank, they're actually power windows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Perhaps he should have just put the mids behind the stock grills, and mounted the tweeters in the upper part of the door or sail panel.

I'm very interested in how those two eD amps are stacked. What is the piping that's holding that top one up? How is it secured to the wood?

I think the whole trunk/substage setup looks very nice. Maybe you could put the unused RCA's through the beauty panel to make it look even cleaner?

I'm not a fan of the tweeter location though.

There are some things I would do different, but it isn't that bad. Changes can be made down the road, He has the meat and potatoes in for now.

If the stock location for the speakers were two small, couldn't you use a 1/2 or 1 inch space and placed the speakers behind the paneling instead of it sticking out? I had to do that in my accord and it worked like a charm and looks stock. Also for imaging, you may wanna have the tweeter a little higher, closer to ear level. Think in terms of home audio, if you have floor standing speakers the tweeters are usually positioned on the speaker around where listening/ear level would be. Just my .02. Good job though

I'd make sure that sub is COMPLETELY sealed off from the trunk.
