Need to probably run a heatgun on some of the creases from package shipping or throw it out in the sun for a couple of hours

Nice work on the box! I wish someone made these for our cars. You should build them and sell them =D I'd buy one. lol..

as for where to get the sound, (someone asked) I wrote a subwoofer DIY in my signature.

My question to you is where did you mount the amp? under the spare tire area? And how do you prevent it from tipping over in turns? For now my box just sits in the trunk.

Edit: nevermind i saw you stuffed the amp on top of the factory amp. thats what i was thinking too. I want to relocate my amp one day so i can quickly remove the box. Maybe i'll try working on this this weekend.

Finally have the amplifier wired up fully.








​Sounds loud and amazing, need some tuning and then button the install up.

Well I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Did you only use the screws or did you also secure it with 3m mounting tape. And the screws are self tapping correct?

I had plans to use double sided tape but after test fitting, screws felt adequate.
No need to remove the stock side skirts. Jacked the car up was only thing to give enough room to use a drill

Awesome, I assume the install was fairly quick and simple the way you put it.

The mess of a trunk during the process of getting the Amplifier wired up.



Where/How I mounted the fuse holder to distribute power to the Amplifier





Fuse holder clearing Trunk panels and tool holders back in place




Boom booom =)


Poly filled the enclosure


Amplifier mounted securely and tucked away
