Did it all myself, took me a couple of hours to do. Probably upgrading soon to 2 15's + the 12's for midrange bass... so a new setup + more amps are on the way.

That is a very nice job, especially for only a couple of hours work.

How did you attach the sub-box to the back of the seats? Or is it attached through the parcel shelf and downwards, or just attached to the floor maybe?

How many Cu.ft. do the subs have?

Did you shape the box so that it sits flush with the 'hump' in the boot, or just leave it to stick out and cover it over with that big amp board?

Nice work!

Nice work!

The box is held by four long screws that start from the back of the seat, where the metal is to hold it in place. Beauty of this is you can adjust it with the screws for how much of a gap you want between the subs and the back of the seat. And before you say the screws will be leaking air, they are not because I used construction adhesive to put some wood blocks where the screws bolt into. They can't be seen because they are in the corners but just incase I covered the blocks aswell so it all looks shmicko.

The box has a flat bottom and the front is angled the same as the seats.

Then from behind a sheet is bolted onto the sub box, then the amps + wiring is behind that, then a front section is put onto it that sits flush with the amps to hide the wiring. And this is not bolted in..... I made 2 brackets that go on the top so it's just a matter of unscrewing 2 screws and removing the face. It doesn't move or anything because the front sheet sits very snug around the amps and the brackets are to be extra cautious.

Cheers for the compliment on it by the way :)

nice work, i've only for one of those d classes running my 2. and the other 4 channel for the 4 type r splits in the car.

I need to get another one of those d classes and run one per sub.

Are those dual 2's or dual 4's you got there mate, or even singles?

Nice ride by the way. Need to lose the black side strips but I presume that is on it's way. Love the drivers seat.
