As you can see, not much to see through the open boot.

Plenty to see though the window though!

Looks nice. IMHO I wouldnt do that to the shelf cause it would attract too much attention, but it looks mad lol:D

[ScienceVR6]

I am a little bit mad! I still need to change the checkerplate for more white vinyl.

[Mrk_Mickey]

[BL33SU]

Nice work champ, looks the goods. Nice and neat.

I need to finish off my install soon with a false floor to hide the amps and a newer/neater sub box to fill the boot nicely.

Keep up the good work tho mate ;)

It's a bit of a change from your weight saving interior you had last time I saw your car.

10/10 - good job.

yeah it is isn't it!!

don't worry, i'll decide it weighs too much in a months time and rip it all out again!

Looks good, always go to see nice neat wiring!

Needs something showy for when the boot is open though... perspex / another logo?

GLITTER BALL!


...and LAZERS! Gotsta have lazers!

[ScienceVR6]

well, the showy stuff is coming for the open boot, i have re-aranged things abit, and generally improved on things, so i'll have to take more pics!

nice install man.

have you tried facing the sub rearwards?
it usually can expect arounjd a 3db increase in sub bass frequencies.

Iv'e faced subs in every known dierection. I'm realy dont care for db cars, i just want it to sound right. As for sub bass gains, i prefer porting. It alows me to do things with the install.

yeah i know what you mean,

i have tried single 12 sealed.
single 8" sealed
dual 8" sealed
Dual 8" ported, i found system blending the best by facing the sub rearward in my mk3.

But not so in my MK4 golf, it sound way better firing the dual ported 8" upwards of all places.

But as you know all cars frequency peaks are different. And it's the beauty of the EQ anyway.

I i'm not into SPL at all only SQ.

Jeeze, iv'e used bandpass 8", Sealed 10", ported 10", dual 12" sealed, dual 12" ported, single 15" sealed, single 15" inverted, single 15" ported, dual 15" sealed.

With most of the larger subs, i have noticed almost no differance when pointed in differant directions. The 10" always sounded best when pointed into the rear left corner!

well clearly you have use a few more configurations than i had.

i have never actually played with a 15" at all always found them way to boomy, but then again if i had a EQ a hell of alot sooner maybe a would have,

i guess personally i need as much boot space as possible. hence 12" was my limit, but now in the MK4 i think i may go to a 10" but most likely run a single 8".

But i did play with a RE re12 in my mk4 but man that was seriously insane. More than enough SQ and SPL capabilities. Either way.

Well good to hear your system is going well.
