***Finally finished...well for now (lots of PICS)

SORRY FOR THE COUPLE BIG PICS, PhotoBucket SUCKS! They're not all that big!

It took a few months to finish. Had to work a lot and didnt have the motivation needed to finish up the job. But I finally got it done.

what i did have

blank slate

The new box. 4.5 cuft tuned to 32 hz. Very fun to make.

I like silicone

Notice the 4" pvc waiting to be used

The box was very time consuming to make. I wanted to save as much cargo area as possible to I used every bit of space possible to readhewd my desired 4.5 cuft. The 'wings of the box extend over the wheel wells and it fits snuggly against the rear seat.

General layout

Sub amp beauty plate almost complete.

I inset the cargo cover to give it that fluch look

A little ghetto way to install an amp, but couldnt think of anything else.

Ports in

LED's mounted behind a piece of plexi, frosted. Looks better in person.

I did a lot between pics, but this is how it turned out.

The whole thing was designed to keep the cargo cover functional. Stealth.

Here's the back. The hinges are there to secure my box down, as well as to allow me to tilt my box back and access the spare tire in the floor.

box lifted

box lifted and spare showing. worked really well.

Alpine PXA-H510 processor mounted under the rear seats, along with the madness of wires.

And my favorite part of my car, 90watt strobe lights mounted on each corner of the car. (this is the control box for them mounted under the rear seats as well).
