New System Pics

I'm not really criticizing your setup, because I think it's an excellent start, but if I was in your shoes, I would...

1. Bolt the amp to the back of the rear seat, and dress the wires appropriately.

2. Clean up the box - whether it involves priming, sanding, painting, filling, sanding some more...if you want that painted look, or carpeting. The paint job just looks amateur-ish - not a problem if it's a competition SPL box that's just going to be used for a show or season, but for a DD setup, having a clean box goes a long way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

3. To secure the sub box, either use L-brackets to bolt it to the floor, or I've had good luck with putting open-cell foam underneath the box (same stuff sold to line kitchen cabinets).

FWIW.

i tried to mount it to the seat, but those metal things stick out to far and i cant get them off.. like i said, that box is temp tell i build my new one for 2 subs and yes it will be better looking and i will move the amp to the back of the box.. but right now its screwed down and i dont think that box is going anywhere

Go with a false floor for the next iteration //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

why does it look like the carpet is goin over the top part of the sub?

 

[dbhittin 5,000+ posts]

theres like a 3" clearence between the red board the the front board.. thats like the port of that box

 

[skmfkr 5,000+ posts]

so the red part is back into the box more?

 

[dbhittin 5,000+ posts]

yes....

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

The red part is the actual baffle...the gray part is above it, and forms the front of the port...

haha ya, listen to this guy. you better watch out when you get in an accident, that amp laying in the back floor might go through your seat and hit you in the head //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Now, before ANYONE starts *****ing about how ugly the box is or the wiring, it's a work IN PROGRESS. The wires are wire tied together using zip ties.

Why is your wire fused at the amp...

Why is your wire fused at the amp...

That's the ground wire (or atleast should be, given the colors).

Better question is; why did you fuse the ground?

oh yea, audi's **** lol.. i hated that car soo much.. the 1.8t's are slow.. thing had problem after problem.. only thing it was good for was to rally

Hmm, what kind of problems did you have with it? I love my car... and you obviously never started modding it. A simple chip upgrade takes it from 150 hp to 205, adds 80 ft/lbs of torque too. Add exhaust, with a high flow cat, and you'll get another 15 horse... so 220 horse, and nearing 245 lbs of torque, in a car that weighs 3300 lbs, and has all wheel drive. I love my a4, I am an audi owner for life.

Oh, and turbo upgrades... there are plenty of 350+ hp a4's out there.

C'mon, ever heard of a fused grounding wire?? J/K...that would be my power wire....the clear jacketed one. The red wire happens to be my grounding wire....I know it's not the best but at the time I didn't have any black.

Yah I know it is your power wire. So once again why is it fused at your amp?

u said it wasn't secure enough, soo hows this....

Nice fix! It's not gonna move around anymore. Now you need a second strap for your amplifier.
