New install amps and drivers.
Almost finished it's still dusty, added new drivers and amps. We added MB Quart PSD 216's and Rkc 116's in the doors. Mounting the midbass in the rear door and the Coaxials in the front with the tweeters from the components in the shark fins. We made custom box and placed it in the tire well. Mounted the amps (RF's 400x4 and 1000bd for the sub) in the floor and also made a cover so I can cover it up to use the hatch back if I need to.

Hey Randy,
Looks like a clean install.
I understand that the position of the driver is dictated by where the spare wheel was or maybe is. But why are the amps (and crossovers?) placed that way, instead of tucked away somewhere? Or is it just for showing off?
Thanks for the pic.

Looks Nice Randy. i was thinking of doing the samething but i thought i might feel weid not havin a spare tire. but i guess who cares. i took the cheaper way out and just put my sub in a box so it takes up alot of room.

"Question - Did you make the enclosure out of fiberglass since you built it within the spare tire well?
Looks awesome. How does it sound? "
The box is wood and fiberglass we centered it in the wheel well and used expansion foam the hold it in place. The sound is very clean it’s bright in the front, and the sub is tight no distortion.

No I had some one do the work, I wish I had the time to do things like this but it is nearly imposable for me.

With the brake kit I have I can't use the spare tire anyway so I was not really a loss.
