Finally finished peicing together my system, now i need to build trunk Options

[Pali_playa]

yup everythings there. over 2,500 of stuff
i know wht every1's goin to say: rockford sucks! but it really dosent as much as you ppl think, and thats wht i had to work with.

NOW im trying to build out my trunk and iwas thinking this:
1) 1'' MDF on bottom to screw everything on too
2) normal rectangualr box
3)build amp rack
4) screw everything else down
5) place carpeted wood on top so just subs and 1 amp showing

i want it to turn out like this:

BUT i open my trunk and it looks like this:





so what i was thinking was that i could put the subs vertically instead of horizontally and put it in the spare tire hole (causei think a box will fit in the hole). then place the amp on the left side. what do you guys think? sorry long post

[playr158]

nah go sideways.....just put ply wood over the hole...don't bolt anything to your box..or bolt your box for that matter i heard its bad....and you'd defenitly have to put the strut bar under the top piece.....

[Pali_playa]

i might take the strut bar out for this

i would go with a fiberglass set up..you wasted 2500 on parts might as well make them look good....fiberglass takes alot of hours but its really nice at the end

theres $2,500 worth of stuff there? hmmm i think you got ripped off there.... RF doesnt suck, but isnt Near as good as it used to be in the 80's/90's..... and are those HE's?.....hmmmmm.... i think you should have thought twice and bought once ohwell, as long as you like, its all that matters.

First off, Rockford is nice. I have rockford, and I think, plus bout 10 others think its better then, some old co-works of mine. They had from infinity / alipine, and cant think the other.

Other then that, nice set-up. Im also working a kenwood deck and rock-ford speakers and subs an amp, and love it, I think you made an great choice.

rockford fosgate is good if you dont want accuracy.... they are loud and will rip your face off.... which is what most people want....

its the "lets see how fast i can give myself a heart attack" syndrom....

True, I was still talking with in budget. Im not going to spend more on a system then what my cars worth.. lol

[Gilbert_619]

actualy some of those brands arent that expensive and put out great power..

for my next set up i think i'm going re xxx 15 to get some kicks

[Consynx]

working at best buy is exactly what i thought too

[Pali_playa]

heh yea i work at BBY actually spend about 800-1000

Gilbert: wasted $? im sorry but if u think these car audio compnents are junk then u need to stop tlkaing, yea theyre not comp or nething, but they aint no dual

and now how bout we stay on topic IE my box

i dont want fiberglass cause i dont know how to do it, and dont want to mess wit it

mmmmmm XXX, my Tempest is only gettin 150rms and its damn loud in the Celica... id look into the Tempest, cheap and very efficient, meaning you dont need alot of power to go loud, same as the Brahma

[playr158]

i know how to do ifberglass....and i'm doin a box in my car for 2 12s all custom......

i can help you out with it, fiberglass is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.....

i'm in fairfax let me know

[Gilbert_619]

well first i meant wasted as in USED/SPENT the money

second but in all true you only spent 800-1000 bucks
would you really have spend the 2500 for all that crap..
best buy sells all that stuff really over priced..so it isnt worth it

and i say crap cuz RF isnt bad but when you can get something better what do you call it...RF nowadays likes to jack up the peak power output number when really their amp dont do that much rms...RF in the early 90s was hott stuff they make great products and not just lack..

if your going to show off your car or want a really good look then i was invest some time in fiberglass...its not as hard as you may think...time is what it takes..if you just want a simple clean look then carpted or vinyl cover mdf will do...

Scarrell: yeah that XXX is mighty fine...thinking a 15 and a hifonices brutus 1500d will do me good...Brahma is all so a good sub

[Hanyo]

that is not a celica trunk.. integra?

[tim86]

which RF amp is that? i just sold mine that i had and it was great... looks like a well put together system, i bet you cant wait to hear the result
