Default need a redesign

I want to re-design my trunk set up (in my integra) so that i can still partially use my trunk space but i still want it to look good. This is my current set up, its a pretty crappy shot but it should give you an idea of what equipment i need to relocate.
I'm open for any suggestions or pics of previously done setups. The equipment in the trunk is:
Rockford Punch 800a2
Rockford Punch 800a4
2 audiobahn 1 farad caps
Punch X crossover
large rockford style dist. block
theres currently 2 blue 15" neons up above the subs
I'd like to keep the blue neon effect but i want the tubes to still be hidden

The picture wasn't working but I'd say use all the equipment you have now, maybe changing or upgrading some stuff but learn to fiberglass and go crazy

copy and paste that url, just don't click it..

That looks clean, you want to go crazy or just want something different?

heres your pic


I say if you want to save space, try to make some sort of enclosure using the wheelwell and fiberglass, although for two subs, it'll be a bit more difficult but can still be done

the subs are a little too deep for putting em in the wheel well, they also recommend a 1.0 cu. ft. per sub so the wheel well is out. I could maybe use it for the amps.

Mount the amps and caps on the sides and fiberglass it all around for a clean finish.

Why don't you just make a false floor out of MDF, cut out holes so the Caps can poke through, plexi over the amps, and run 2 fans to cool it. THat way you have trunk space, and you can even throw on a linear actuator if you want to open it.

u can put plexi glass on top of the amps and then the subs you can put on the side asa long as the capacitators under a plexi so you can put stuf fon top wtihout putting anyhting on top of the amps to heat them up etc
