setup:
infinity reference 10" sub
ppi bridged amp
custom box i made, painted by my girlfriend, bamboo amp rack insert
kicker 5.25 fronts
kenwood amp for fronts under front seat
kenwood excelon head unit

 

curious as to how the speakers are mounted.. is that just the OEM speaker grille that has been glassed over the front of? or does it mount some other way?

 

bondo'd in all the gaps between the grills, then covered it in ultra-suede. the bondo makes it heavier and hence better sounding because of less movement.

 

what's it say on the subwoofer box?

 

top left samantha (painted it)
left everything material is empty (buddist saying)
center plum blossom
right bamboo (cant see it under strut bar)

 

Looks awesome How does it sound? Also do you have a shot showing the whole hatch? I'm trying to clear up some space in my hatch and this look like a setup I could use

 

it sounds pretty good. a higher power sub would help but this one was only $50.

 

great work

 

sweet job

 

why do you have a boost guage?

 

goin turbo in a little bit, didnt feel like having an empty hole in the middle of my gauges

 

looks nice man
really clean

how much does the box weigh you think ?

 

thats Real clean man I like it A LOT, I want to do something like this in my 98 integra because I dont feel comfortable removing the spare tire
Props dude

 

thanks guys.
it probably weights more than a regular 10" box, because the top panel is longer and its god the amp rack in there too. its all 3/4mdf except for the bamboo. its not really all that heavy. no different than having a fat *** in the car as opposed to a regular person.
you can actually get the spare tire out without removing the box, although to remove the box you just:
remove the upper corner tabs which are connected by wingnuts (and just to make it look more form fitting),
undo the bungee cords that go from the box to the seats hinges (where they fold anyway),
and of course unplug the amp.
its all about 5min and the carpet comes out with it.
there are 2 reasons i made the box like this, so i can remove it quick for auto-x/drag racing, and so that it fits under the strut bar so that i can lay stuff in the back of the car with the seats down, and not even touch the box.

 

the car is actually for sale now in the classifieds, $2500.

 

clean set up. did you build it to any specs or did you just use the space you felt was right?

yeah i took the suggested specs from the infinity website for a sealed box, the internal volume is about 15% smalled than the suggested size, but there is filler in there to bring it back up to what it should be. The amp rack is what takes up the 15%. with the amp in another place is would be right on.
