)
Front doors: Polk MM Components
Rear Sails: Polk MM 2 -ways
Sub: Boston Acoustics G5 DVC 10"
Amps: Kenwood 4 ch., Kenwood 2 ch. (Sub)
Subthump Stealth Box
Subthump Amp rack

The only thing I have pics of right now is what is in the back.

thats a nice clean install. damn if your stuff is getting outdated then my stuff belongs in a museum. older stuff doesnt mean bad, in the case fo car audio, the older stuff tends to be better.

LS1Dave, how do you like those 7" subs in the sail panels? I have been considering these for awhile but not sure if I want to since I have a 10" already.

I have an MTX box with an Alpine Type R 500w RMS 10" sub on an Alpine 500.1 amp, Alpine CDA-9884 head unit, Alpine Type S 6.5" coax in doors (which will soon be replaced with Alpine Type R components on an Alpine 2/4 channel). Yeah. I like Alpine

honestly, i love them, but i dont know if i could justify them with a 10" sub. I got a 12" so that i had enough frequency separation to cover a wider range.

i must say though, they are hardly viable as a subwoofer, but work great as low midbass drivers.

Ben, I wonder if you have any pictures of the am prack before install. I would like to just build my own. I want that soooo bad. I also want to do the dual stealth boxes. Damn.

Also, how does that rack attach? Does it use the screws from the tail lights? ANy help would be great!

You can either fab up a mount connected to the tail light studs, or you can screw it into the body. Since I have LEDs in my tail lights and will never have to mess with those again, I just went ahead and attached 2 screws on top and 2 on bottom. The bastard isn't going anywhere

Huh, that's what I thought, but didn't actually think that's how you did it for some reason. Damn. take some pictures if you ever take it off so I can build one.

On mine, I made some funky brackets that hold it on with 3 small nylock nuts on 1/4" Dia. studs sticking out. My sub has disconnects in the line and the box is just a normal slip fit (not attached), so all I have to do is pull the main fuse, disconnect the wiring from the terminals on the amps, undo the 3 nuts and the entire amp rack and sub will come out in about 15 minutes. Saves me ~64lbs all together when I need it!

So if all else fails, I will just measure the rack next time I take it out.

Sweet, thanks Ben. Your a Champ!

ive worked with those amp racks before...simple design, i really dont like it though. it was hard to bolt it in, but then again, i was working with very low light.
