Well the biggest factor when it comes to weight is between the sub and the box.

You could put one of those GT5's in like 1cuft sealed. That'd be light, but wouldnt sound great.

Or you could buy a free-air sub and stick it in an mdf parcel shelf!

ummm think i might try make a another fiberglass box or if i can find some decent cheep carbon fiber make it out of that

liam_b · 19th July 2008, 22:22

haha.. a low back end is no problem atall if you got big bass pumping through the car

carpet will look sexual tbh

could spray it for the show if you dont have time to carpet, then afterwards just carpet over the spray?

liam_b · 19th July 2008, 22:51

lol just a shame front end aint as low

yeah thats the plan for it aint doing what i did at the last show was still working on the car at the show was up all night working dont think the neighbours wherer to happy with me jig sawing at 6 am on a sunday o well

The one amp in the middle looks better, but red carpet looks gash!

liam_b · 21st July 2008, 03:02

any one else think i should put the amp in the middle or should i do the 1st one i cant make my mind up lol

Coonper · 21st July 2008, 08:00

Where will the genesis go if you put the JBL in the middle?

liam_b · 21st July 2008, 13:26

not sure could put a flush floor in the passanger foot well and have it there

mount it behind the sub box

or fit it like this in the rear door card

Elliott · 21st July 2008, 13:28

Fit it in the rear door card, that will look mint mate.

Coonper · 21st July 2008, 13:59

If i were you i wouldnt put anything on show!! If a chav walks past and see's that then you can say bye bye to you're "spl install"! Lol

My mate had all his nicked not long ago, and all they could see was the amp power cable under the plastic sill trim.

Fair point. It would be nice to have it on show like i said but now thinking what coonper said, Id rather hide it all. All mines hiden the amps behind the install just behind the rear seat, When i do my new one all that will be shown is the sub oviosly when the boots open.

You might no them and they might be your "friends" but sometimes the ones you call "friends" arn't.

Will it go under the rear seat? or fit somewere in the enclosure.. not subboxes but the actually enclosure?
