My New Car Stero Syestem. '00 Mustang
Over the last two days I installed my brand new subwoofer and an amplifier, as well as a universal DIN slot pocket. I already installed Polk 6x9s all the way around, dynomat around the speakers, and a Pioneer deck earlier. The entire project was a learning experience for me as I had never done anything like this before. It was a lot of work, routing the power and RCA cables, soldering in the control wire to the amp, hiding the cables under the carpet, putting the sub box together, shrink wrapping, connecting it all... all in the 90 degree sun. In the end it was all worth it, I'm ecstatic at the way it all came out, looks clean and sounds awesome.

'preciate it. |
Well done.

yea thats nice and clean, but i managed to fit 2 12 inch mtx jackhammers in my trunk, with still alot alot, of space in the trunk, and i have an 01.
but i like your set up real nice and clean look to it |
I'm thinking of drilling a hole through the carpeting/fiberboard under the amp and routing the RCA cables through it. Then tucking the speaker cable that was running down the side of the amp under the carpet.
Through the magic of photoshop, this is what I'm thinking of. The black dot = the place I will drill the hole. Comments? From this http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/5...184yl02uq9.jpg To this http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/7158/fixlu6.jpg -TheTickz |
/\/\go for it. looks better that way I think. I dont really have a trunk, so that looks like a ton of room to me.
|
looks great, and definitely do the chop, it looks even cleaner that way.
|
Defeinitely needs the wires to the amp hidden. Other than that, nice job!
|
Update: Here's a few pics with the wires hidden! Looks awesome now.

Either his box is tiny and not built correctly or I call BS. BTW: Great job on the system Tickz, looks great. |

The only way to get mine in/out was to remove the carpet, take out the spare tire, remove the trunk latch and set the box in the spare tire well.. lol
