I'll try to get some more pics of the trunk set-up. I can tell you a little about it though: My friend opened his own custom audio shop last fall....I told him that if he wanted to do the audio it needed to have some requirements: look clean (I didn't want to see the subs), built around my rear brace, still have access to my spare tire, and sound clean (match my highs). The result was a custom box built around my rear strut bar fully enclosed. The 12'' JL actually replaces my stock sub this way all sound is directed into the car. He dynamatted the entire rear closure and deck surrounding the port. He finished it off my building a custom enclosure to hide all the internals. I don't know what kind of amp he put back there...he told me about it but I forgot. The enclosure it covered in a black tweed with an aluminum imposed lexus symbol. The enclosure is also angled to meet the lines in my trunk...its hard to explain but it looks pretty sick...Come by and check it out whenever you want.
