Thanks Mr Blue For the Idea.....

Spent the last two nights messing with my old girl.... Got fed up fixing other peeps cars - mainly my sons as he has done a big bumper conversion with side trims & replaced his rocker cover gasket etc etc etc....

Rear Turrets now overlaid with the earlier Carpet Covers from a Valver That I'm breaking at the mo... Nothing major I just think they look better & I was upgrading the parcel shelves with better ones so made sense to do it all at once....





Whilst doing this I noted that Stevie Wonder had wired in the Amp - so decided to tidy it up and put it where the OEM Loom is - Under the carpet properly... But then had the notion to do what Mr Blue suggested with hiding the Amp behind the rear Door card... So thought I'll have a bash...

Door Card Off...


Amp Bracket;


Amp On Bracket;


Bracket Fitted;



Door Card Refitted - PITA...;



Rear Seat Fitted;


Seat Bolts Fitted;

Hiding amps in the rear quarter is actually an old idea but not carried out much.  There is no issues with heat. Keeps the install neat and stealth.

awesome sub encloser! Ive always wanted 2 subs per side. I think a ported enclosure would work. With the port angled towards the boot as there is a gap for the air to escape into the boot. :smiley:

Ive now mounted my other alpine amp in the other rear quater for the front speakers. You must amp your front speakers.

Nice work X4MGS :smiley:

I'm happy with it as it is for now... Would still like to get a box mounted under the rear shelf - will have to talk nicely to me Mums partner as he's a chippy by trade...

Thanks for the idea...  :smug:

Here is mine, the pic is shoddy and the boot is dirty but hey you get the idea!  It is a fibreglass mold behind, mounted on mdf and io have pretty much the same amount of boot space as before! i have build pics if required  :wink:
