It's finally done..kinda

Finally finished my trunk install. Except i need to rip it apart next season. Fit/finish isn't what it needs to be..there's green neon behind the "Camaro" lettering and behind the amps...which is too dim..and the plexi got a small crack on install..so next year i get to do it all over again. anywho - looking for some thoughts.

Looks great! I was thinking about a similar setup with the subs behind the backseat facing rear. Hows the sound quality? Very clean btw.

agreed. Subs look great there. Amps look not so great

Re: It's finally done..kinda

I agree with some of the responses... I don't think its the amps themselves but the white "board" they are on, maybe if it was black and gloss too? Got any build pics, I'd like to see how you made this...

Re: It's finally done..kinda

The amps have neon between them and the white plexi..it's supposed to give a green halo on the amps- except the neon isn't bright enough ... based on the suggestions here i'll rethink the idea. Sound wise i lost a freq here and there, but over all it still sounds amazing. I'll admit i sacrificed a lil sound quality for the install..but i think the loss was minimal compared to the gain. Build up - no pics...sorry. I got a square framed out of 2x4, then 2 mdf circles held up by more 2x4. Then cats hair/fiber aroudnd
