Alpine MRD-300 300watts RMS Mono Amplifier
just these so far. still on stock speakers. new is on the list but i have other performance priorities right now.
yes, nitrous will be on the other side shortly.
the air space is very minimal, but i dont listen to it that loud to begin with so its not a concern to me. i just need a little bass. but i havnt noticed much of a difference.

we did a cardboard mock, then just cut the wood to those dimensions. for two 10s, i would make a wall on the back side of the trunk, but thats just me.

hmm...thats a pretty good idea. would be alot easier to do than fiberglass the whole thing. did you use anything to make sure it sealed well against the trunk?

personally, i think you should of sunk the sub into it a bit more, and hid the amp. Then again, I like stealth/stock looking installs.
nice set up though. who needs an insane amount of speakers, right?

thank you everyone for your compliments.
no, nitrous bottle will go on the other side soon.
honestly, that was my original intent. but that box is as far back as possible. there physically is not enough room to make the sub sunk in/flush with the wall, and the wall flush with the trunk. and i wanted the amp hidden on the other side of the board, but their is the chance of it overheating which i didnt want to risk.
thats the look i was going for, thank you

SSKevinSC: he was going to put a nitrous bottle there.
I like yours more than I like the stock mount for the sub. Sure, it takes up more space, but it's not like I need to fit 3 bodies in there AT ONE TIME.
