Well, something like that ... Still trying to get some ideas. However, just wanted to find out how much damage it'll be before I go ahead with the project.

the labour alone is gonna kill your budget.

Just sketch some drawings of what equipment you have and how you want it to go into your trunk. The thing is that with audio install shops they charge you for the labour so its gonna cost alot of $$$. I think if you took your time you could put something like that together yourself and save tons of money in your "budget"

Matt's setup is similar to what you want, just take your time and it will turn out fine man.

Akira - did you get my pm about setting up a time to install some stuff? I am getting my speakers this weekend and shoudl be ordering my amp VERY VERY soon.

ya, boxes are pretty easy to build..
it's the vinyl this, wrap that which makes it sweet tho..

some of us here could probably give ya a hand..
jsut make sure ya got the specs for the subs and we can get ya a box built for the cost of the wood
then a dummy face from 1/8" hardboard..

Wow! That looks really nice ... That's what I want to do with mines. Real simple because I need the trunk space and stuff ... BTW did you have to remove your back seats for the subs to fit?

Well, after all the feedback from everyone I think I'm gonna try and do it myself. Just need to pick up a few items from Canadian Tire and I guess I'll have some pictures for everyone to see once I'm done =) Thanks!

Oh ... I thought they were installed into the back of your seats or something. Didn't realize it was a box ...
