Just thought i'd post u pa couple of pics of my install.
won't be staying like this for long though, i need a change.

let me know what you'se think, and if there are anythings things you would have done differently that i could improve on in my next set up.

the next set up will include the same amps, crossovers but will have a different box, sub and front speakers.



old one (18" Audiobahn sub):

NIce....gotta say though, square drivers freak me out!! looks so unorthodox....but if it works, it works :)

I do like what you have done with the doors...I was gonna do that, but couldn't be arsed and just put 6"s behind the stock grills

Trance_gl: the audiobahn sub was loud to say the least, but sound quality wasn't anything special. i rekon its tops for spl comps and stuff but for everyday its a bit too much... gets alot of oooo's and aaah's though. hahaha

javed: i love the clarion deck man... i've had 3-4 decks since i 1st bought the clarion and always go back to it... lucky i never sold it and kept it. its got all the useful features you need, looks nice and classy and not ricey.

I should mention they're nice amps too - very good quality. The crossover is also very good too - I use an FRX456 myself but mine is gun metal grey. :)

thanks mate... yeh i can't be more happier with my amps... :)
don't plan to upgrade them ever.

any ideas on how i can incorperate a false floor housing my amps, but making it possible to lift up the amp rack to access the spare tyre. mainly concerned with where i can put my sub.

yea those door pods look pretty good.... difficult to make?

my speakers are just hiding behind the stock grills cos i cbf when i was putting them in.... they look pretty cool tho, i might look into making some

nice install.. though the door install concerns me in that it looks so vulnerable to being kicked accidently.. also the tweeters in the doors.. I'd be interested to know if the sound is ok with them being so low??

na actually it was quite easy dood, was a little tricky to attach the mdf to the door trim... i'm looking to try something with fibreglass next time, but again i have to figure out how best to attach the pod to the trim??

yeh i guess u kinda have to be a little careful when it comes to entering and exitting the car, but i never had problems with it and it was never damaged.

as for the tweeters, they sound ok, but could be alot better. not really to do with the distance of the tweeter, more so with the direction it face. would have been a bit better to have it directed toward the opposite side seats headrest...

yeh the kicker is alot clean, i mountedhe audiobahn that way coz the magnet it the bottom of my tyre well when it was mounted the other way.

cheers for the all the input... really appreciated! :)
