[btdickey99 5,000+ posts]

Finally after weeks of getting all the equipment together, then installing, then figuring out what the installing problems are, and building the temp. enclosure and amp racks I am finally DONE.

All the equipment used is in my sig and sounds great and loud.

I also want to thank Tapout for most the equipment, buckyboy for enclosure design and dimensions, and Worlddre for help on the install.

and on to the pics

After the wire was ran the amps were temp. on the back of the seats

on to the enclosure build...box is tuned to 36hz and is my second overall build

sub is finally in!

And inside the trunk

Short vid befor battery went out

I ripped most of my stereo out last weekend, but cant do much installing here at college //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

spread the glue with your finger after so it covers all the edges of the wood, then assemble. Will keep you from getting all those runs inside/outside the box, and also keep a putty knife on hand to scrape off the excess before it dries.

Nice choice of equipment. How you like the AQ?

its great with the seats down, almost working as a hatch....not sure about seats up tho.....last system it wasnt that great with seats up bc Volvo has 3 solid mietal plates in the back of the seat
