im not really a big fan of the vents, but that is a damn clean car. the rear is just sexy with the tails and ONLY the coupe badgeing. you have really raised the bar on this one bro, congrats on a job well done

Thanks Optimo. It's been a REALLY hard and long slog. One thing I have to thank my ex wife for is leaving me, I could never have gotten it donw with her around nagging and whining at me haha.gif

I've decided that once the lighting is all in and wired up and Ive done the door handles Im going to rebuild the trunk install completely.

When the trunk install began I had a 12" solobaric with 2 amps. I was using my zx200 on the solobaric with a nasty kicker amp running the highs.. Since then I changed out the sub for the 18 I use now and added an audiobahn amp for the sub.. I also removed any trace of kicker from my car and added another phoenix gold amp and a 5 farad cap. Problem was the original amp rack wasnt desgiend to be added to it was a one shot deal, so it's all kinda modular and messy. It is wired very well and safe, but it doesnt cut it in the loosk department.

I have a shedload of green neons waiting to finish the trunk, but i think Im gonna take a step back and restructure it all first.. The sub box was done with house of kolor flakes which is really nice, I need an amp board to match smile.gif

I'm with you fully on that redoing your trunk project. I didn't like your amp rack when you built it. Are you going to work with some fberglass?

The amp rack was never right tbh. It's original plan went a bit wrong and I had to mod it to make it fit..

I'm not going to use fibreglass tho, because no matter how much work I put in it's always going to be crampt.. I mean, 3 amps, 18" sub and a 5f cap? lol

Plans will begin tommorrow, Ill be sure to walk everyone though it as usual smile.gif

^^ that's true, but you can regain ALOT of space by moving a few things around and molding them to the wall. It might be worth it.

Pandy: you could always mold the sub into the removable center, amps against the back wall, and the cap in the corner.
