Junk in the trunk (pics)

Phase I is _almost_ done. Just need to iron out a few things, and I'll be good to go.... sorry about the shitty pics, I'll take better ones later. Its sounds pretty damn good, considering I have the stock head unit in right now. Phase II starts next year.

The amp is hidden behind the wall.

The cap is over to the left, but I haven't taken any pics of it yet because a plate hasn't been built for it.

The Eclipses may not be the best in the world, but they sound pretty damn good to me.

I always though that you had to fire the subs towards the back of the car to get the best sound?

You fire them to the back to get very loud, bassy sound. I didn't want to hear more bass than music. I wanted clean, tight bass, not to blow myself out of my car. That is why they are facing forward.

I think you might be pleased with the results. my set-up is basically the same as ur's except for the rear fill, and my 10W7 is fireing thru the passthru. no rattles from the spoiler as I have heard many complain about, and the bass is not muddled at all.

opening the passthru is not necessary ... you'll hear/feel the sub
regardless of whether it's open or closed.
