This was built by DND Services in Stevenage for me in my UK Scooby and to say I'm happy is a BIG understatement.

Here are the pictures that I have done quickly.....









Thoughts?

Very nice. You need some protection for that sub though if you ever put ANYTHING in the boot

A bit of 6mm put on the front with a 12" grille mounted on it will make it flush and look good. a 12 should work with the active area of the sub. Check that 6mm will be enough thickness at xmax tho!

Cheers,
Nick.

Question

Just wondering how much it would cost to get an install like that done? I need to sort my sounds out but don't really fancy doing a DIY job!

Cheers,
James

i got a special price which i am not allowed to reveal... (sorry)

Was told this setup would have cost over £4,500!!

The amps, speakers, cabling, battery and sub costs over £1,300 in rrp

There is loads of labour that went into mine...

The sub box is made of fibreglass to fit perfectly in the cubby hole, i.e. its moulded.

It may seem a lot, well it is... but if u listen to the system and see it in the flesh you will realise why it costs so much, the combination of Focal speakers and Amps work sooooo well.

You can mail me for more details on where it was done... marc@car-torque.net

yeah, may do - real tempting to go for a flashy boot install. I really need to retain some practicality for the boot though

Serious suggestion: finish it off by trimming hte bits that Subuar didn't bother with - bottom of the parcel shelf and the bits around the top to the rear of the boot as you look in.

The build is great, but that bit lets it down just a little IMHO

You dont notice them until u bend down so not too detrimental to the install

Sorry never saw this question earlier.......

The amps are on their own rack andthat is mounted to the edges of the side panelsand then the cover goes over that.. Its like one giant jigsaw

Here are is a decent Neon shot

very neat

Given the amount of MDF, have you considered upping the springs on the back of the car? That's a serious suggestion BTW, that lot will weigh quite a bit!
