looks good...you still have a lot of usable trunk space left.


looks like that carpet can use some cleaning

 

Agreed. My carpet looked far worse than his so I just threw it out. Now the deadener blinds you with bling when the trunk is opened.

 

Looks good.......I always like seeing different kinds of innovative space-saving ideas for subwoofer systems. The only concerns I have with having your amp located where it is now is water or moisture just incase you open your trunk while its raining, and protecting the amp from shock just in case you have some thing in your trunk that moves around in it as you are driving.

 

About the carpet:
I bought the car from a teenager...you should see the back seat....

About the amps: you are right, but the guy who did this job needed a lot of supervision and I didn't know where else to put them.
I already covered the planet audio amp with ice from a cooler full of beer that turned over when I made a sharp left! you should have seen me and my buddies getting out of the car and drying the **** out with the beach towels.
The setup also made it back all the way from Guadalajara Mexico, with all my luggage and belongings on top of them: 3000 miles! with gone O2 sensors and ks.

 

lol for a second you had me thinking it was a soundstream amp

 

If your box is short enough to have amps mounted on its top surface w/o interfering with the trunk tension bars, then that is your best bet. Or you can move the box forward a bit, put a piece of carpeted plywood and fasten it behind the rear seats, and then mount your amps there. Just make sure that you have the box moved forward enough to allow room for the amp to dissipate heat.

 

There are 2 amps there: a Soundstream for the sub and a Planet Audio x4 for the speakers

gotta love those old school fosgate subs

 

gotta love resizing pictures too

 

those were the punches i had, man those subs kicked, and they still do. i love those subs man, too bad there new line aint that ill. btw your a real fosgate fan..lol no pun intended Gordon

 

haha my fosgate setup failed in comparison to that

 

I may be selling those bad boys. Looking into getting something else. If I do I'll let you guys know if any of you want them.

 

This weekend I designed a box for the 2005 Maxima. Can someone tell me if the trunk of the 2005 is the same as the 2004?

thanks in advance
mike

 

How can you design a box for something that you don't know the dimensions of?


I'd as$ume they are identical.

 

Hi
I rented an 05 Maxima for design purposes and have all the dimensions for the 05. I was just hoping it would fit the 2004 also.
I decided to design a box for the Maxima because of all the emails I get from owners asking me if I can make a box for their car.
One guy that inquired about a Maxima enclosure recommended this forum to me if I had any questions.
thanks mike

 

Finally took some pics:

 

Nice set up, very clean.

 

Well it's not in a Max.. but what the heck. I've got 3 JL Audio 10 inch W6s in a custom fiberglass enclosure being powered by a Kicker KX1200.1 in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. All was installed using StreetWires 0 gauge wiring. Pics Below! Oh and my truck is for sale. Email me if you're interested in the system, the truck, or both! babybash0309@hotmail.com

 

Nice....I've seen that amp rack design on several vehicles before. I have always wondered how they made those angled panels. I was thinking that one would used some metal L brackets, bent them to that angle, then mount the wood panels onto them. I was thinking of doing the same in my trunk. How did you do yours?

 

its actually 2 set metal bracket weld together: one set of holes for the screws are made higher than the other hence the different level. It looks different in the night since I have a few leds that shine on the subs and amps. Also the false floor is engrave with V12, its hard to see with no contrast in the light.

 

That is a sweet set-up with the alpine stuff. How about some night pics

Nice setup in that pathy too

 

dam thats a nice alpine setup

 

These Trunks Are Great But I Need Help!!!!!!! I Have A 6th Gen Max And I Have Two Radios That I Cant Choose Which One To Install. But Before I Even Get To That I Was Told That They Wont Work In The Car. I Have The Pioneer Avic D-1, I Also Have The Kenwood Ddx-7015. Both Are Still Brand New I Want To Go With The Pioneer Beacuse Of The Navigation But How Can I Make It Work???????
Help

 

trunk pics will b coming real soon. here is the headunit tho.

 

interesting EQ settings

 

I'm also curious about using the defroster along with the A/C Enjoy that fogging effect on your windows?

 

Y'all can yell at me if you want, but this is a thread about what's in your TRUNK. I for one have been subscribed to this thread since its inception and have enjoyed keep up with every new post, but it WOULD be nice if it stayed somewhat on topic.

Just a suggestion.

Tony

 

yeh im a alpine man myself gotta luv it. and those settings on the EQ are interesting lol.

 

they werent set right now.. that was right after the install and they were moved around.. what do u think?

 

i think it looks pretty good

 

Looks great. With such a nice unit I would not use the equalizer... you have enough calibration in your HU to get the right tonal balance.
The equalizer adds noise by having another electronic component in the signal path. It also makes the amps work harder if you boost it too much. Keep the HU and get good amps and cables.

 

here is a night pic, my subs didn't turn out great so I'll try to take another one later...

 

that looks hot, leds?

 

I used to have that EQ a long time ago, in my first Black Emerald 4th gen. That's a retro-looking EQ compared to your HU. That EQ is pretty much useless considering the kind of HU you have. That HU can do way more than what that EQ can do. Plus having an outboard EQ could introduce additional signal noise. But it looks good!

 

1 long neon type lighting each behind both amps, the one in the bak is not as bright as the middle as u can see. 2 blue leds light up the subs from the deck lid.

 

my ol' setup in the front

my ol' setup in da trunk

 

that setup in a 2k2 homie?

 

in a 4th gen

 

actually my ol' 3rd gen b4 it got caught in fire.
