Little addition to my trunk...

The little amp on the right hand side . Install is pretty basic, but is perfect for my needs. I barely had enough room for the amps to fit on my current board, as you can probably see they are pretty close together. I had to stagger them on it, so the smaller amp sits a little higher than the bigger one. I am going to make another rack to give them a little more space.


Finally got rid of that darn VCR that was in my trunk .

I think it sounds pretty good. There is still some room between the sub and the back of the trunk. A good amount of Dynamat sure helped out though.

cool, i'd imagine output would suffer a wee bit since it's so close to a panel, but i guess not

that little amp looks very familar

Looks great man. Have you considered putting a grill on the sub and facing it towards the opposing side? I had mine that way and it sounded great to me. Sub in the left rear 1/4 facing the right side.

Thanks guys .

Hey Manny, those new "little" amps of yours are sweet, can't wait to see them installed.


Parag, I may try to do that at a later time. I always seem to have stuff leaning on the box, so that is why I put it that way. I did not want to hurt the sub, you would be surprised how many pencils can stick out of a kids backpack . I am thinking of going for an Arc Series 12 a little later, will play with different positions at that time.

eyeing another sub eh? same here, my 15 looks nice and all, but my current setup takes up way too much trunk space. i might opt to go down to a 12" in the near future.

I like how my 10 sounds, but would appreciate just a tad more oomph . I hear you about the trunk space. Mine seems to run out pretty quickly at times .

Looks very clean . You are right about not having too much room, still a very nice setup.

It's a cool little sub. It sounds nice, and has pretty good output for its size.

Some info if you have not gotten there yet..
