Just put in my amp and sub

[dineth]

Hey guys,

I just put in my amp and sub and it sounds pretty awsome. Jus how i wanted it, punchy bass without the whole car shaking. I guess the secret was using a decent sub and amp (i got a top of the range alpine head unit, Alpine splits and rears and now sub and amp) and the wiring i used was top quality as well (went a fusion wiring kit as the alpine kit was hard to find and also way 2 over priced) I set it up so i can easily take the sub out if i needed to use the boot. The amp was mounted on thin MDf bored with some checkerd paper on it. I used the original plastic nut holes, using metal nut and bolts to hold it all together. this way i can easily take it out if i needed to. My biggest problem was what sort of sub enclosure i should use. I ended up using a fully sealed box which i picked up from gary's car audio for 50 bucks. Big thank you to everyone who replied to my thread on what sort of sub enclosure i should use and also to NS2500 for his thread on how to take the headunit out. Saved a lot of time. Pics up Now.

Looks trick!

Is that really checkerd paper??? Never seen it before...

[dineth]

Ye man, you can buy it in rolls pretty much in any auto stores like autobarn or supa cheap auto etc. They cost anywhere between 12 bucks to 20. Its not really paper its more like a very thin peice of metal.

how did you fix that sheet of metal at the bottom of the rear window? Is it sealed around the edges?

[95GTST]

Sweet. With your wall, what size mdf did you use?

[Edge]

yeah i mean the front side wall - how did you fix it there and can it be sealed around the edges in that position?

[dineth]

Edge:

Well its sealed fairly flush, I wouldnt say its air sealed. But as good as the factory one (which was pretty much a weird sort of plastic that was carpeted) my partial shelf is exactly the same, just used mdf so it could hold the weight of the Amp.

Im pretty sure i just bought a single sheet of 9mm thick MDF from bunnings for like 10 bucks.
