New Install

Hey Fellas,

I been debating for the past year on how to build my system to accomodate two 12" subs and 1200 watt amp without taking up much space and be able to remove the entire system with no tools when ever I hit the track.

This is what I recently finished

I added foam blocks and insulating foam to cover the gaps that go into the rear fenders. Added a layer of edead mat, layer of liquid edead, and layer of ensolite to the entire trunk

Lol. No. I have a GF and I still live with my parents since I'm still in school, but I do have a good paying job. Since my pops also like to work on things, he also pitched in with the tools.

When you have a clean garage it is easier to work with. You know were every tool is at and it is very important to have tables. Before fixing up the garage I used to build boxes on the ground. That sucked, but little by little me an my pops started to fix up the garage. Still need to insulated the garage doors and add shop tile to the floor. Might also add a flat screen

Its a Stinger expert series terminal. I believe it stays on as long as you car is running. It does go off after a minute once you turn off your car.
