Post Pics Of Your Trunks (Systems)
I searched and I couldn't find a thread dedicated to just the pics of systems. I really love to see what everyone has done and I'm trying to get ideas for mine as well.

ron, that looks great. I guess you have no spare tire now? I'd like to have done something like that but I wanted to keep the spare, just in case.
I will probably make a beauty board to cover my amps one of these days.
How did you attach your sub? I used the backside tether hole to attach it but it's going to be a pain to remove if I need to.

Nice installs guys. I like the simple yet effective setups. I do admire the more dramatic and expensive setups but like I said, simple is the way I roll. This is what I'm thinking:
RF 360.2
Alpine PDX 400 & (2) 1000D's
Focal Utopia components front & rear
Haven't decided center channel yet
(2) Fi Audio Q12 DVC's in a sealed enclosure
Building a false floor with spare access and flush the amps down the center, the 360 on 1 side and the spare batt on the other.

Ya I haven't decided if I want to do it anymore. I have buddies that own 2 different reputable shops around here so I might just take it to 1 of them and say have at it. I'm kinda tired of doing installs to be honest. But, I completely commend those that take the time and effort to do it. Their not always easy.

i was able to salvage the amps, cap, sound processor, sub, box, 2 7" monitors, yellow tops. im more likely gonna do 1 JL10" w6, and a smaller battery for the trunk, something not so heavy.

Mine is not nearly as elaborate as some of the above installs... but the components are quality, and the sound is amazing.
Rockford Fosgate T400-4 (4-Channel Amp) - driving Focal 165V component speakers (front doors and rear deck).
Rockford-Fosgate T400-2 (2-Channel Amp) - bridged mono driving two JL Audio W3 Series Subs (yes - they're 6.5" subs!)
Center channel is an Infiniti Kappa 3.5" and is running off the stock amp.
Stock sub is disconnected.
I built the sub enclosure out of MDF and fiberglass, so it fits perfectly into the back corner. It is sized properly for the two subs.
I built a false platform over top of the Navi DVD Player. It is hinged, so that I can still easily access the DVD player.
I also built a little storage cubby beside it, which is actually a separate piece, and is velcro'd to the trunk floor

Are you kidding me? 6.5"'s wang pretty good. I remember the older 8w0 trio box they offered. I'm actually using those same amps in my wife's MDX. A Punch 400.4 and a bd300.1. Driving Infinity Reference 6.5" separates in the front and 6.5" coaxials in the rear. JL 10w0-4 sub in a modified stock sub location.

Where do you find the enclosures for the stealth sub?

Ideally, it'd be better to have this sub in the main cabin but..
I have a 10" in my truck, under the back seat behind the driver's seat and can feel that one very well.. I wish I could get one for my TL to give me the same feel as that one.

i dont know stew....ill send u a pic of my trunk and show u how i have the subs in place now. you have many choices as long as ur imagination isnt limited....i had 4 10" JL W6v2's until one blew and the box front was shaped like a W to fit all the subs in a maximum width of 30inches...... now i re-fiberglassed the front to give it a wavy appearance with 3 subs. its vented into the arm rest in the back seat and my music can be heard from about 4 blocks away. bass can be felt for about 30 feet in open space. the shop i do the work in is about 30'x80' it shook everything off the walls in the office =)
i have a music testing cd that starts and high bass lines and ends very very low at about 16hz.... and the windshield is flexing at that point.

I understand. A person will need to sacrifice space/spare tire etc to have booming bass. I was merely talking about keeping as much stock functionality as possible.
Obviously one could do as you have done. It all depends on what the person wants out of the system.
On that note, I'll bow out of this conversation and leave it for those that want to be heard blocks away or whatever they choose
