NICE! It will look great completed! That is the kind of concept that I am looking to do. I want to be able to have the bar like you have in the trunk (i've pulled a blank as to what that thing is called ). Thanks for sharing!

Amy, you mean a rear strut bar?

I think the one 13s_is300 has is the Cusco triangle rear strut bar.

Nice trunk setup. I'm planning to have something similar done to mine. I just have one sub, so I'll be using just one side of the trunk. Do you think it'll look funny with just one?

Thanks for the suggestions, 13s_is300.

But my amp is too long to fit on the other side of the trunk.

I'm thinking of putting the amp and the cap toward the back of the trunk where the ski pass is, just like where you put the kicker.

I have a Music Keg for my kenwood. Maybe I'll put the sub on the driver side of the trunk, then put the Music Keg on the passenger side to balance it out.

What you think?

i thought it was called something else because of the v- looking brace coming from it though.

it's the triangle strut.. due to the v looking brace that is supposed to bolt into the trunk floor.
