Got Bass? Another useless trunk...
It will have taken 45 days by the time I pick it up on Saturday, but my stereo install is finally complete. Here are pictures of the trunk. One of the subs is missing, because it came broken from the factory (replacement is en route). The subs are JL 8W3v2s, the amps are two JL 250/1s and a JL 300/4. No pics of the lighting yet, but it is provided by two IceLED 6" tubes (you can just see the "eye" for the LED remote control at the top of the enlosure; it looks off center because I was standing off center). At the same time, I had my stock HU relocated and a custom faceplate made to house my Alpine IVA-D300 and EDFC controller. No pics of those, because they wouldn't let me see it (something about maintaining the "suspense" when I pick it up on Saturday). Those pics will be posted here as soon as I have them. Enjoy.

VERY NICE!!! I like the setup man. I'm definatly going to have to check it out.
Maybe you could come to one of our meets, or the few shows that are coming up. Check your Car shows??? thread for more area shows. There are a "few" :D

Pretty damn sweet! Did you do any kickpanels for your car? Hey Scud, can you PM me how much they charge you for the work. I just need some info on whether I got a good deal or fair deal?

Scud - maybe its just me, but why did you opt for a completely useless trunk? You could have gotten great base out of one 10w6v2 or really awesome with a 10w7. I know you've seen my setup as well, and all the usable space I've still maintained. If you haven't seen in a while, here's a quick link... https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/devoids-near-complete-build-54460/ There's pics all throughout the pages, so be sure to browse all...
but again, what was your decision in making a non-functional trunk? Just wanted the sound? didn't care? wanted a show car? I'm not antagonizing or putting the install down...I know what goes into that type of work, and it really does look great. I'm honestly curious as to your reasoning.
Thx!

Devoid,
A show car system was my goal, hence the giving up of the uselessness of the trunk. I have a 94 Accord that I use for all the practical things in life.:D

Somehow this thread just doesn't seem complete without Mugatu showing up and talking smack. Call me a pot stirrer, but where is he??? :D
