Got beat?

I have been on the site for a while now and have not posted any pics. I thought it was about time. I started this thread so all of us can post pictures, give ideas and, and help others with there insatll questions.

Let me know what you think.







This is a Zapco ref 750 with an RE se x series 12in sub. I have a Pionner head unit with usb and I am using the pac unit for the highs.

Still have some work to do but I think it is coming along.

im super lovin how the amp is mounted on the trunk and the wires are hidden, and also how the sub lines up with the folded down seat. Now that ive decided to keep my car, im gonna do a flat wall across the trunk with my JL 10w7 in the center I hope to post up pics soon to keep this thread alive!

Very nice install.

Sucks for us cab owners who don't have the ability to fold the rear seats...doubt many of us want to sacrifice any more trunk room .

Thanks guys.
Nice bro,simpleand looks easy to install
It wasent to hard but fabing the brackets for the amp took some doing.
looks clean , does the trunk still pop up on its own when u open it
It still pops but does not swing up. I kind of like that thoug. Makes it so no one can see in my trunk till i lift the lid.
Right now I am milling out a star to use as a speaker grill. I also got rid of the little L brace and velcrowed the top of the box and the bottom of the hat rack. Works pretty good.
hope to post up pics soon to keep this thread alive!
Sweet. Cant wait to see more setups.

So anyone done anything new with their sound system? I am looking to upgrade and I’m interested in what you all are running and how it is installed. I have been custom fabricating a system into my girlfriends Lexus RX300 and now I have the bug.

I wouldn't mount that amp that way if possible. It minimizes the effectiveness of the heat sinks... thats a zapco amp it will run hot.

I replaced the 1.5cfm fan with a 6 cfm fan and have had no issues at all. runs cool. It is a little on the loud side when the vloume is low but other than that.....
