well you could save the money and do it yourself lol but yeah you are looking to spend at least 100 in labor plus parts ie. dash kit, harness, amp kit, rca's, everything for the install thats why i recommend doing the install yourself if you are unsure of how to do something that is what these forums are for, i was an installer at circuit city for two years before they closed down, also if you plan on using your whole trunk as a box you may want to invest in free air subs, b/c the airspace of a box has a whole lot to do with the sound produced, just my 2 cents

well what i did is i ripped the back seat cushions out and the bottom cushions fitted some plywood looks exactly like the on for sale on AM covered it in speaker carpet cut two holes where the top cushions would be the created a box enclosed in the trunk so im not using the trunk as a huge box it sounds so sweet took out the seat belts aswell have gotten tons of compliments so far having the subs fitted into the seats

yeah im taking it to Mr. Tint next week just needed an extra pay check is all lol a guy at my work with a mach is payin me to do it in his car aswell it really enhances the cars interior alot. And when i go out and leave my car in a parking lot i created a bolt on kind of rug. my grandma has a huge sewing machine and she programmed it to make a huge mustang emblem that also looks really sharp aswell if anyone wanted i could make some instructions for what i did. also my car lost weight doing this ! lol whole 14 pounds and it also adds to take out the car seat belts i have no more squeaking or random *** noises that would drive me insane

damn if you can put together the seat delete as nicely as it looks in the picture you should be able to wire the stuff up yourself and save some money

hey i got a 1000 watt Pioneer amp powering the two subs and another amp for my speakers my amps are built into the bottom seat cushions finally got my windows tinted cant even tell i got them in there now and mine in my opinion look better then that pics does

the set up only cost me 96 bucks for everything to make it from home depot if you guys need instructions on how to do it send a pm or something i get so many compliments on it


you need a few bolts some big pieces of wood sealant speaker carpet best buy sells it its in the back of the store. i traced the wood out first on card bored so i wouldn't waste my money the only really hard thing was i had to create the sub boxes in my car mustang have ZERO space vertically in the trunk




i was thinking of having some sort of other power system put in the car anyone no how much that would cost?
