Pics of my install
There are still some things I need/want to button up but I spent all day doing this by myself so I just wanted to get it hooked up and be done with it for the time being. I plan on getting the gaps out and hiding the wires, etc. I will update again once I am 100% done.

I think it looks great! Did you build an entire box to hold the amps? Is that some basic carpet on that box for your sub because it looks awesome. I'm jealous! what is your entire setup?

Looks great! I prefer the amps off the box myself but it's whatever you like. Remember your sub vibrates the shiit out of the amps more than it would on the rear seat.
Other than that, nice!
I need to get a picture of my setup. It's nothing fancy... but yeah... nice!

PReal - This is the first time I've done any custom work on an install. Usually I just get pre-fab stuff or my friends buy the stuff and I just run all the wiring, etc. I figured I would tackle it all myself since I wasn't in a huge hurry or anything. Save some dough too!
Joeybutts - I built everything in the trunk. Wasn't too bad. I kind of wish I went a different route with the amp box b/c it is heavy as hell and hard to manuever around if I need to change anything (pain to reach the gains later on when I geteverything broken in). I still have plenty of wood and carpet so I might redesign it. The carpet is the dark grey carpet from eD. The setup is an Eclipse CD3100 Head Unit, CDT 61CF components in the front being pushed by an eD NINe.2x, no rear speakers, and an eD 13Ov.3 pushed by another NINe.2x.
knucklehead11 - When all of the gaps are out, the amp rack won't be touching the sub. They will be about 3-4 inches away.
Still plenty of work to be done, but when you're working with these heavy boxes by yourself, you get worn out pretty quickly. BTW, I am going to start wearing a hardhat when working around the opening behind the rear seats. Those hooks that the seats lock onto are sharp! I ended up with a nice gash on my forehead [sm=smiley18.gif]
