got pics of your W7s? curious on how big your box is.

 

Well I'll be taking my car in tomarrow to get the amp and amp rack installed. I'm going to tell them to build one in either side of the trunk. Hopefully it'll turn out okay. I'm see if they can make it removeable. I'll post pix when its done.

 

Anyone else have that nasty rear deck rattle? If I put down pressure on the rear deck it stops. What did you do to fix the issue? By the way amp is mount subs sound GREAT!! I'll post pix of amp mount in the morning.

 

Rear deck rattle is through pretty much any gen. I would suggest some sound deadening material.

 

It's a nice setup, but the installer did a **** job on wiring and on the mouting angle.

 

Yeah he did. I just took ever thing out and I'm redoing it now they can bet that the won't get any recommendations from me.

 

How much did they charge you?

 

It total was like $95 Iwent out this morn before work and removed everything and cleaned it up. After seeing how it was all done and how easily I fixed everything I wished I had done it myself, but I don't own the necessary tools to make the rack and stuff. I'll post pix when I get off work tonight. They won't be getting anymore of my business....

 

Good stuff, thats not that bad of a price i guess. In my old car I had a baffle board made with 2 8 inch pioneer free airs mounted in the pass through of my 240sx. Two subs with the board mounted and with grills was like $250. so minus the two subs $100 bucks is about what I paid.

Where did you go to get the work done?

 

It was this lil shop upthe street from my house called AutoWerks. I went there cause every night I would pass by there would br these nice nice custom rides wit Lamdo doors and big wheels so I figured the would be good at stuff like that. Maybe they are, maybe he just half azzed on my car.

 

Thats possible. He probably thought you wouldn't care as much or something like that. But that's **** poor even for a rushed or non effort job.

 

Just so I understand correctly, this is a prefab box with a board mounted on it?? For $130?

Damn I need to start cutting some boards....

 

go make one with an interior volume of 2.2 cu ft, center sub cutout for a 15, and i'll buy it from you

 

Its really not hard to do.

 

Not to mention, this guy is makin a killin on selling these things. In the upwards of about 150% profit for minimal work.

 

22 bucks for an 8 x 4 sheet of MDF...and each box is selling for 130...nice profit eh?

 

Believe me, if I had the time, materials, and tools, not to mention the palce to attempt a build like this I would have, but buy the time I buy everything I need tools included I would have spent that anyway, so I think it was worth it.

 

Um, Ryals

you know the "large" cargo net is supposed to be used against the trunk door not the middle lol

 

Actually dont even need that...1/4" 2X4 sheet...$5 attached to a prefab.

 

Yeah I kinda thought that but it alwasy seem to be too loose there. I kept it there but now since my amp is in I don't have those loops to the left thats why it gone. Maybe I'll try that spot again.

 

The premade one looks so good though and from feedback its obviously built well. The shop here would charge a ton for something like that and I dont have the time or tools to build a box.

 

I use mine in the middle, it keeps things from bumping into the box...

 

Oh yeah built an amp rack tonight, (first time doing anything like this) Not sure if I like it, might have to call in the pros. I'm waiting to see it tomorrow again when it's light out, we'll see....

 

Too bad you didnt live closer, because no I would not charge a ton for that.

 

Umm sir... Pics?

 

I'm scared to show you pics, being all pro and stuff! Only if you promise not to laugh at me!!! lol. I'll get some up tomorrow...

 

we won't laugh

2DaMax here by far have the most hazardous install ever shown on the org. i'm sure your amp rack is 1000000x better.

 

I would never laugh at someone that gave an honest effort. Post em up !

 

Avi is an exception to the rule, he should just stay as far away as possible from well...ummm...Everything?

 

Well one thing is for sure my wiring job is better than Ryals installers!! (did you get your $$ back yet)
I just need to buy some carpet to cover it now...pics tomorrow and thanks for you support!!

 

Well then your off to a good start.

We'll be here for the pics.

 

Once you add the cost of carpet, adhesive, packaging and shipping, he may not be coming out as far ahead as you guys may think. But he is getting a lot of business from you guys, that's for sure. I'm curious about his 5th gen setup once it's out.

 

Well I went and took everything out and redid it myself here's a few pics. Let me know what you think.

Remember this is my first Semi-Install.... lol.

Started like this:


AutoWerks did this horrible job, but it was a start:




This is what I did myself and instead of screwing it into the car like they did I wanted it to be more easy to move or remove so I used industrial Velcro and it works like a charm. Tight as if it was screwed down but easily removeable.

 

looks alot better.

 

maybe make one more cut out of mdf that fits where the wires go and put a a little cover over the wiring to protect it.

 

that looks a lot cleaner

 

Hmmm , I'm trying to pic what your talkin about. You mean hide the wires coming out of the amp?

 

Oh and another thing. Can any of you tell me how to remove that rear deck carpet? Wit the the subs I get a lot of rattle form the rear deck, I thinks its from the deck vibrating up aginst the window, because when i hold pressure down on it the annoying nosie stops and I hear nice bass. I have a sock stuffed back there now but I want to add some cushioned trim around the edge or something.

 

Yup thats what i mean.

 

I drilled holes in mine and ran them behind right when they come out of the amp, the only one you even see is the RCA's, pics tonight when I get home...
