Default What does YOUR trunk look like?

I would love to see what people have done with their paired bag and system set ups! Custom look? or just thrown together or just clean? I've done some extensive looking in the search and havent found anything... I've got something up my sleeve that some may have not done with their bags, and want to make sure!

Mine isn't a big mess, but it's not exactly the cleanest either. I still haven't had the time to build myself a custom subwoofer box. This is what it looks like....

2 amps and a cap sitting on the trunk shelf



2 12" Kicker CVRs in front of them

when it stops raining I'll go out and snap a quick pick for you of the system, but your not going to see much as everything behind a false wall I like popping the trunk having people look and say where is that bass coming from?

Mine's an empty mystery. Sub is in stock location, amp is buried. I'm **** about having an empty car. I don't like looking at cords, maps, pens, phones, ANYTHING. Everything's hidden and secured. I hate when stuff bounces around, too, so it's all strapped/velcroed/bolted in...somewhere...

I've been thinking about doing this, I deflinitely want to utilize the stock location. What sub/amp are you using? How's the sound quality?

1skcvc, you know when you mount amps upside down like that with the fins pointing the wrong way that they dont disperse the heat the amp generates nearly as well right...

Well considering you can grab a pair for about $330 to $400 at most, they'll beat most of the competition in the same price range. They handle the power you feed them very, very well. You kind of have to play around with the settings on your amp and head unit for a little to get a good sound, but once you get it, they pound like hell. I'd say they have pretty good SQ, but definitely SPL subs. I'm not exactly sure how they really sound at their best as I'm only pushing them with half the power they can handle. 1 CVR will handle 800 watts peak and 400 watts RMS. I have 2 running 400 RMS. I wasn't exactly looking to go as loud as they can.... My OEM spoiler rattles like a *****. Need lip spoiler, NAO!

As far as my head unit goes, I have a Pioneer AVIC-F700BT. It looks like this.



Not bad at all. In-dash and subs together ran me about $1,200.
