I like it. Nice and clean and you can still put things in the trunk if you would need to. You got the thumbs up.
 
will you come do mine. thats super clean you did a great job. looks like suede, very classy sometimes too much suede can be overdoing it.
 
looks great. i agree with you still having plenty of trunk space, unlike mine. where are your amps? behind the subs or under them?
 
thats a nice setup...gotta love those kickers...i got some olllllld school solo barics in my trunk (when i say old..i mean the circle ones)
 
great job, love those kickers, and i see some dynamat extreme. good to see people know what that stuff is and how too use it. the thing that i hate the most is when someone put a system in a nice car and it rattles apart. know matter how good it sounds on the inside, if it sounds like $hit on the outside, that just bush league.

question, since you know much about car equipment, i have 2 layers of rattle trap on my whole trunk and i still get a rattle, not major but it is still there. what else can i do to stop it? i have some on my license plate as well. SRY, i didn't mean to high jack your thread. i might consider doing what you did to your trunk, it looks a lot cleaner than mine
 
a lot of times you can get rattle from where the bumper cover is loose around the impact absorber, i have also seen the heat shield or the exhaust rattle a little bit. the hardest part is to locate where the noise is comming from, i usualy just crank it up and listen behind AND under the car (my 1st gen had a weird vibration comming from the bottom and it turned out to be the tire iron under the spare tire) and see if you can idenitfy where its comming from, if its the bumper cover, the noise should stop if you press on the cover. if it is the cover, that is very hard to get rid of, you basicly need to put somthing like a thick rubberized foam sheet between the cover and tha actual bumper.
 
thanks for all the great feedback. and as for the kickers they are just temporary i ordered some type r 12s from alpine the box was built to alpines specs. and there are actually 2 layers of dynamat throughout the whole car. including: roof tire well doors deck lid and so on. the original plan was to have the box painted with the surround in suede but my wife found that color (which matches nothing at all) but i liked it to so we i went with it. next is door pods for some 6 1/2 5 1/4 and tweet focal sets. and if anyone needs anything let me know(i do work for one of the top ten mobile electronics retailers in the country 5 years in a row):shifty:
 
2 layers of dynamat? See, I don't want to make my car any SLOWER than it already is. I hear ya on getting rid of the rattles, but I don't want to add hundred plus pounds to the weight of the vehicle. to do it.
 
1/4 inch mdf was used and for the curves i used evercoat rage. wrapping those was the hardest part
 
Great work man.
well done..... can you still get to the battery or do you have to take out the subs???????
 
Looks good. Makes me want to go redo mine now.:)

How hard is it to get out to get to your battery and spare tire?
