Started building hidden floor for amps, 2 amps and h701 will be hidden, and the 2

nine.1 sub amps will be hanging from rear deck in trunk in mid air, a suspended amp rack i suppose. Still not sure about the plans for the 2 13av.2 subs, most likely sealed either in one box or 2 seperate boxes opposing each other, they will be too heavy to move in and out if mounted together, something like 60 pounds a piece, plus whatever the box ends up weighing, pics coming soon

Blood is the best type of deadening they say.

Will if thats the case then this car has the best deadening on the market, alot of blood translates to good install

What kind of 1/0 is that??

well there was blood involved, so im guessing the install will sound good

there was alot of blood during my last install..and it sounds awesome. the 2 are directly related.

still cant use my index finger..3 weeks later.

I went with 0/1 guage Enetic Power and ground wires from Elemental Designs website, awsome stuff, something like 4,500 strands of wire, oxygen free, 2.25$ a foot, going to use the extra i purchased for my big 3 upgrade soon. We ran dayton 14 ga speaker wire for all the speakers, will probably use 10 or 12 ga for my subs when they come in, so far 100 feet spool has been used, ned another 40 feet to run 2 more front stage drivers

C701 came in last night, would like to mount under my 9851 but not sure if it will fit, any suggestions

yea i got a suggestion.

need to do another filler to get rid of the pinholes and imperfections, fill the top edge where i glued the trim plate in. and paint it. so far it looks great, the H701 moulds in there quite nicely just gotta do a few more things to finish it up though. we also built a trunk tub to mount his amps in the tirewell, ill get pics of that in the next few days. and after that we need to reassemble the trunk liner and what not and make a false floor to hide it all. its comming along, slowly but shurely.

I like that too, especially since it's for my car. Once again god ole' req got out the dremmel tool and cut alot of fat off of my metra dash kit, reloacating this and that and moving some bars around. We just need to put another coat of bondo and a little more sanding, followed by some flat black spray paint, H701 will be here on wednesday, will wire the c701 tommorrow after work, and finish my trunk if all goes well
