This week I started a custom build in my 01 SE. I am basing it on function over form. The sub and am rack will be mounted in a manner that allows me to reach my spare tire or us my trunk. Here is my audio line up
Head unit- Eclipse CD7000
Fronts- Diamond Audio Hex Components 6.5"
Rear Deck- JBL P963 6x9'*
Alternator- Motor City Reman 200 amp
Big 3 upgrade- Welding cable

I
Started by sound deadening my entire trunk.


Then the rear deck


Different view of rear deck. Everything got about 3 layers


Then I hit all four doors with 3 layers


Planet Audio Big Bang 15


Wired to 2 ohms with 8ga. wire!


I mounted it off center so could have room for my aero ports


Sub surround compared to a diamond audio D6 15 hahaha!

The box skeleton


View of the baffle to be


this is what you get when you put a 15" sub in a box 16" tall


me cutting parts for the amp rack


Better view of the amp rack. I am gonna ghost mount the amps and put plexi glass above them and lights below them. It shold be nice! There will be more pics to come soon!

Looking really good. That'* going to kick out some sound.

that'* a lot of dynomat holy cow! looking good can't wait to see the finished build!

heres how the amp rack came about


This is the sub amp. The 4 channel is an exact match. The grey end caps hide all wiring and connections


Arc boasts that these amps were made to be played loud and for long periods of time so they came with internal 3" fans on their base. I cut a hole in the amp racks so they could breathe.


side view of the first rack I cut out


after finding the perfect height, I cut out the second rack and spray painted them black


I mounted them to the base and slightly tilted them toward eachother


first test fit looks great!


a view of one of the amps test mounted


it really looks like they are floating


This is a pic of my bonnie. I limo tinted the windows though.


and this is a tattoo I got on my back.... I know its off topic but its my thread and I will do whatever I want Ha!. Joking but it took 9 long and painful hours Lol!

Thats all for now. I will keep you guys updated on my progress. If any of you have questions or need advice please feel free to ask any questions. I want to kinda use this as a tutorial if any of you need it.

Not going to have much room in the trunk for anything. Looking great.

it doesn't look like it but trust me. The amp rack pictures does make it look like it'* deeper than it is but it doesn't even reach the back of the wheel well and my box stops right at the beginning of the trunk. Then I'm gonna carpet a piece of wood for a center piece that can be removed to reach my spare. I won't be able to stuff my trunk but a few bags or a cooler should be doable. Okay probably at best lol!

Looking good. I want to do a fiberglass box eventually that will fit around my rear STB and clear up a few more inches in my trunk

I just cant wait to carpet that amp rack and mount some red led'* under those amps. it will be sexay!

Awesome lookin build bro, and nice tattoo. My cuz got something similiar. I told him its gonna look like it was written in arabic when he hits 65+. LOLOL

Not going to be much room on his back either.

Looks Awesome! Black Friday!. Ear Drum Suicide.
