Hi guys. Just thought i'd show you my new install. What do you think?? So far it's been SPL'd at around 135db but i'm thinking of upgrading the amps to a Genesis or JL Audio which should hit the magic 150 db mark!! :biggrin: Since the photos were taken, i've also upgraded to 19" rims!!

That looks pretty smooth...I would put a piece of Plexi over your amps...I just like the look of amps flushed!!!!!
going from 135db to 150db is a HUGE jump.. doubt just upping your amps would do it unless you are extremely underpowering your subs
good luck though :)

The amps are running off just the middle PG amp which is currently bridged at the moment so i'm not even pushing the subs to even a quarter power. Thinking of using a JL 1000.1 on each one or using the DLS A3/A6 combination which should give me quite a good increase. I have also just got a blue neon light to go in the amp tray as well as ordered the perspex to cover the lot. Should look good once it's all done. Excelcier - like the navi install. :biggrin:

Thanks Andy! What did you about rerouting the air duct since you probably had to cut into them too when you removed the 2 center vents.

I have simply blocked them off and the extra air is pushed out of the remaining vents. Simple really! Didn't have to cut into them as the screen is very thin and I modified the back case slightly so I didn't have to cut into the actual fabric of the car. I'll try and get some pictures of behind the screen as it is removable.

Ohh.. I wasn't that lucky, as you could see from my photos, I actually installed a full height factory Navigation head-unit in my dash.. I had to take a dremmel and carve out my vents. Now my air pressure sucks. I'm going to go back in a try to modify and seal my vents better.
