i am trying to get som good ideas for installing subs and amps in my wifes 05 gt and would like to see some pics ,does anyone have any?

 

Ya only a couple of people have done them so far.

I have been meaning to do mine for a while I just haven't got around to it. Mainly cuz it is has been absolutely freezing around here lately and I don't want to work in the garage when it is that cold. I have however built my sub box already and I am going to start working on the amp rack next. I will be sure to take a lot of pictures during the process once I do start it.

 

mine

Hope that helps!

 

steve19970, nice work it looks great ! how does the jl sound in the factory box ?i am not much of a fiberglass guy to do that kind of work ,i was at my local shop today and they said jl was comming back out with the w-1s witch i beleave the mounting depth on an 8in. is only 3.75 will this work without mod in the doors?

 

Thanks Steve

Mike

 

I love the sound of the JL's...like I said, some custom fiberglass was done to accomodate the much larger magnets of the JL's, but they sound great! I like not having a muffled sound coming from the trunk...it's all right there!

As for whether or not that depth would work better, I'm not really sure, unfortunately. The depth didn't seem to be an issue with mine...it was that the magnets on the Shaker subs are about the size of a silver dollar.

 

did you get the grills installed yet ,i would love to see some pics i have always ran rf subs and amps but i believe i am going with jl this time ,i think they are a little cleaner sounding and looking for what i want,the jl looks great in the door nice and clean!!

 

Sure did...here's a pic.

 

nice work! :worship:

 

Sub is a JL audio 10w6v2. Custom fiberglass box tucked to the left hand side of the trunk area.

Amp rack is to the right hand side of the trunk area. 2 amps a the sirius receiver tucked behind them. This set up allows me almost the full trunk space to work with.

Saw Nick's setup in person awhile back and it was nice and clean!
