    fiberglass it that would be crazy and since you have the money to spend it wouldnt be bad...even a DIY project would be fun

    lol sweet photo-chop man, project
    I like the two inverted side subs, but the center and amp rack need a little redesign IMO.

    if you ask me, good simple installs look way better in old cars like yours. go with like an MDF trunk like they usually do on Overhaulin', so basically you lay down a flat panel on the bottom, two panels on either side right along the side edges of the trunk, and then a panel in the back that you put your subs in. you could fiberglass the back panel, the idea you have with two subs regular mounted and two inverse mounted is sweet, I will see if I can't visualize somethin when I get home.

    I agree with Bumpin Talon, that looks way to Fast & Furious for the style of car. I'd say clean and stealth is the way to go for your car!

    brennon, where are you going to get 2g's excluding the equipment?

    dont waste your money on the trunk, the resale value of the car will drop dramically. its not worth it.

    its where your amps are in the air, usually above the box, but you dont see the support arms for it, this is achieved by putting the amps on a angle going down, and then it hides the brackets.

    Sex should be like a Civic; slow, obscene, and loud enough for the neighbors to hear.

    To flashy. Make a false floor and mount the amps under plexi. Make covers to hide them. Build the box behind the seat with a plexi window. Make a cover for that too. So with covers on you see nothing ans still retain some use of your trunk. With covers off it is a little flashy but not too much. You can put mirror inside the box and neon if you want more rice.

    if i were you i would mount 2 12's in the floor (JL12W6v2 if possible get the 13's)

    then mount 2 amps just under the top of your trunk so it looks like there floating. go with one mono for the subs an a 4ch for the speakers if the amps are about the same length it will look better.

    then make a rack on ether side to hold a capacitor, distribution blocks, equlizers Stuff that looks good but don't go over board KEEP IT SIMPLE. simple is always good

    use MDF for your sub box but use fiberglass for the racks on the side to get a better shape. and cover everything with carpet or vinyl no paint or shinny shit!
