wow mine is much simpler.

but those aren't subs

I am wanting to put a storage cover where you all are putting the boxes. But my ? is is it safe to put hinges on it. Because my concern is putting screws in the body that close to the gas tank. I seen there are a few with hinges and they have used screws. What do you guys think. I am ordering carpet next week and if this is ok to do i am going to get some matching carpet for the cover. Thanks

and the title said speaker boxes. not sub boxes!!!!

ANYONE

Here is a suggestion.

Take a 4x8" sheet of MDF. Cut is so it will cover from the back seat to the back of the car. Cut the sheet again where the hatch begins and hinge. Cut a hole for the subs to fit and let the subs run free air.

Something like this...


Also remember that our cars came with a locking hatch cover option, so placing a hinge shouldn't be an issue.

my 4x12s and 2x1400w amps.. box goes down to the bottom of trunk.. split left to right. IT POUNDS!!

heres mine!!

two ten kickers powered by a $ 60 daul amp from walmart thumps!!!

the box doesnt fit fully cause dude sold me wrong box on graigs list but i cut it and trimed it for best fit lil krooked but looks good!

Here is mine . Wanted a nice clean , stock appearing setup. Puts out some decent sound too.

how do the dash board speakers get removed on a 1987 iroc?

You need to remove the dash pad first There are screws under the dashpad (6 or so) and in the top air openings (4 of them).

Remove screws holding speakers and disconnect speakar wire plug.

It's tight so use a short screwdriver.

was wondering if any of you guys put LED's by the speakers to light em up, i have seen little LED's but wondered about powering them. pics of those would be great too..

I have a kitt light
hooked the positive wire to the positive terminal on the amp and the negative to the ground wire

This setup is in my 90' RS. The bucket idea started out as a joke my dad made so I did it to be a smart *** and to both of our surprise it sounded pretty good . Made a few modifications to try and fine tune the sound such as porting and polly fill and it sounds better and hits harder than most setups of equal power. Cost me a total of prolly 30 bucks to build the box.

Mine are powered by a switch on the dash that is pullin power from the fuse block super easy to set up

Apply some sound deadener to the outside or inside of the bucket. It will hit even harder.

yah i see the lights in the 2nd picture, can you show me an exact picture of the lights on the pull down area? and how its hooked up to the fuse box?

These are what I used they have a peel off 3M adhesive strip on them very sticky. They come with the switch.

But very simple Stuck them under little edge of the molding cant even see them unless your lookin for them.
As far as the wiring hook the black to a pre-existing ground
(ex. hatch motor ground or amp ground)
the red is run under the side plastic molding to your dash put switch where ever you want and pull your power from the fuse block
LED's pull virtually no power so you can pick whatever space is hot all the time and run it to the other prong on the switch.
Just takes a lil creativity and basic knowledge of electrical wiring.
Simple Clean and Quick.

Thanks for the tip I just happen to have some left over from another project
