Default Audio Setups??

Wasup ppls? Ok like I've said in other posts I have a 94 LS400. Well I'll be getting the GS soon. I'm an installer and with the style and features of this car I was inspired to start building a custom audio system.
Here's what I've bought so far.
-2 component JL 6.5s
--Powered by the Rockford P450.4

-2 15" Rockford P2s
--Powered by the Rockford P850.2

As far as power goes:
I know that there aren't any high performance alternators so...
-I'll run 0AWG from the alternator to my 200 watt relay. From there I'll break 2 lines of 2AWG one to the factory battery the other to the SV95 stinger dry cell in the trunk. From there I'll run a 4AWG distributor to the amps.

Out of curiosity has anyone tried this sort of power run in their GS and what was your results.

Also, seeing as how I have 15s, I will fiberglass. Can anyone post picks of their fiberglassed trunks?

**Are the trunk dimensions for the LS and GS the same??

Thanks

Guess you haven't looked very hard, there is a brand new one in the for-sale section right now from Ranger498.

As well as 150amp, 175amp and 18volt available here:

Or a 200amp model here:

or here:

Etc etc.....

Surely one of your local audio stores can find one if yours can't.

Actually, the GS has a bigger trunk, but not as deep.

I like that Benzo no room for stuff in my trunk. At least not with the risk of scratching or breaking something. Thanks for the compliment SADDLE!!

I was about to post a pic of mine, until I re-read the post asking for fiberglassed trunk.

So, here's a pic of a guys car in Indonesia with a crazy set up.
