will put some pics up when i get a chance to take some.
my set up at the moment is 2x 12" alpine type R subs running of an alpine pdx1.1000 have not found a spot to put my amp as of yet since i just got it yesterday, so all my wiring is a bit messy right now. subs are in a home made box which is just a smaller square one to fit in the gap in the back of the boot.

Been a while since i have been on here but i have most of the stereo sorted out now after not looking at the car for months. i finally got motivated. Have put in the front splits(boston) and mounted and wired up the new JVC DVD headunit, just about to run the RCA's to the screen in the roof which is on of tomorrows jobs, have to finish shaping the false floor and mount the cooling setup for the amps, finish off the looms in the boot running to the amp board and hopefully the LED's arrive for the interior tomorrow so i can put the intirior parts back in the car then all thats left to do is trim it all up and listen to tunes. i will have to put up some progress pics of it so far.
Consists of : - HeadUnit : JVC KD-DV6205 - Front Splits : Boston SL60 - Rear 2 Ways : Boston SX85 - Sub Amp : 2000watt Earthquake - Speaker Amp : 2000watt earthquake - Subs : 2 x 1500watt earthquake 12's - 9.2" Roof mounted DVD player/Screen - Also have put stinger roadkill in the front doors and tthe bootlid and still have to do the back of the boot in an effort to slow down some rattles. Interior lights are all WHITE LED now to give a much cleaner crisp light. Have also ordered the exterior LED globes for all the lights and am organising a HID kit for it also.The car will be entered in a comp as soon as the stereo is all done and buttoned up.I will post up results.

Nothing too crazy but it cost me nothing just used what i could find in dad's shed. Worked out well and surprised myself.
Amp was mounted on sub but have since moved it. Currently painting all the plastics in the boot satin black as it goes well with the stock carpet. More detail and more pictures will be put in my build thread. Links below. No carpet stock GLi  Some Ghia carpet  Some custom work, Looks simple but there was a lot of trial and error to get it to fit snug. The face of the amp is flush flat with the carpeted part which i straightened out the bends that where in it.

Ok, so the boxes are actually the tubes? I've seen that done in home audio and show cars before
 I thought you were porting bass into your cabin... Was going to tell you that it's not necessary

correct...iv never seen it done before thats why i liked the idea sud everyone else has just got square boxes and side or floor mount amps so im going for the elevated style....the amp boxes and spare wheel are hopefully going to look like a stealth aircraft C**k............(HOPEFULLY)

Sikford,
That's a pretty neat install you have there! It's given me a few ideas of what i'd like to do if i can get ontop of my other projects. Atm all i have is a fairly std sealed sub box for my 12" sub, and my amp is screwed to some timber where the factory amp would go in my EB. It works for now.... Cheers ToranaGuy
