so i was going to wait to post this up until it was all done... but someone broke my laptop and i had to hold off buying the rest of the system until i pay off my new computer. but here is the system so far, and a little bit of a walk-though on the build let me know what you think!
first up getting power out of the engine bay and into the cabin
i decided to go in with all the rest of the wires from the engine bay
once you get the cover off the plastic housing around the wire just run the power wire into the grommet with the rest of the wires. i cut the hold in the grommet on the passenger side of the grommet. looked like all the wires were going the opposite way in the car.
sorry the picture sucks but i put a hole in the side with no wires coming out. put the plastic piece back together and your done
Looks stock!
next i got the wires down the side of the car. i ran a few extra wires for switched i may put in eventually. got the wires into the trunk and for the moment left them in the spare wheel foam.
so here was my delima. i wanted a sub but this is what my trunk normaly looks like during the work week
so i got the idea of building the box underneath the storage area.
this is what it looks like on after i was done building it. i spec'd the shallow mount alpine 10" type R.
its hard to tell in the pictures but it goes about1.5 inches below the board to rest on the foam and goes about 3 inches above the board so i could get the minimum 4.25 inches i needed to put the sub in.
this is what it looks like in the car.
then with the floor put back in
just enough room under there for the sub to flex and not his the floor.
so thats all i got now. hopefully in about a month i will buy the sub and we will see how it sounds hidden in there. i may need to get a router or roto zip and make some holes in the floor for sound to come through better but i will figure that out then. i have more pictures of the sub box build if anyone wants to see the rest of it ill post them. thanks for reading!
