My cool trunk

[dodge freak 2]

Thought I post a few pictures of my amps and 1 sub woofer in the trunk, you can't see the mid range drivers by the sub but they are there, along with speakers in the doors, dash, luggage rack-hey, you need power to hear your tunes with the windows all open on the E-way

Holy wiring, Batman...  You gonna conceal that rats nest?  What's the bungie cord for?

Just remember - anyone can install wire, but it takes a professional to make it LOOK like they DIDN'T.  Get my drift?

Other than that, looks decent - what car is that in?

Yeah, I know, the wiring isn't pretty...but hooking up 5 amps..2 are four ways..and 4 speakers on the luggage rack isn't easy. I am not a professional, just some greasy monkey with a soldering iron.

Its a Dodge Magnum...can't afford a Cuda 


What's the bungie cord for.....in case I need it if I carry something big in a trunk...those amps are flat and I can still lay stuff on them...its up there so it doesn't fly around.

Its been a few years since I did it...maybe I crawl in there one day and try to make it neater....does sound great and the trunk stay close most the time.

Yup, quite messy back there (no offense). Just a good clean up, that would drive me bats.
Maybe spend a weekend making some kind of concealment with plywood or Plexiglas?

I guess this rules out a spare tire?   


It looks good to me. I can't imagine how it must sound.

I'v got AAA road service and a cell phone, lol.

It sounds great...it shake the car even with just one 12 inch sub..its a Rockford T1..I gutted out the rear set padding and brace to allow the seat to go back.

Every speaker is hidden..either behine a door panel--no cut openings, or back it the luggage rack I laid some thin carpet to hide them but the sound comes out fine.

This way I don't worry about some jerk stealing it...my radio is the only give away..but then many have a nice set with no amps.

A draw back is when the stereo is blasting away--car shaking--the deeper I tune it, the louder I can stand it--if the motor stalls out, I don't know it until I push the gas down or turn the steering wheel. Motors tuned very good and doesn't stall--even cold but like once my carb float needle stuck closed and me didn't know anything until the light turn green and cars were passing me

Yup, big systems will shake a car to pieces lol. I'm running 3 x Phoenix Gold 12" RSDC subs with 3 x 1200rms amps, 130db, not bad for 3 x 12. My car (Subaru) is sound deadened and we got it down to only the roof shaking but with any good system vibration is just part and parcel, unfortunately.

not to bust your bubble, but you really need to mount those on something other than pieces of plywood. do you know anyone who could make you a mount unit? Nice work though, must sound great.

[422STROKER]

Must sound great!

Maybe just a bit of carpeting and a few well placed holes will do the trick on cleaning it up for you.
