that has my list of equipment
you would be surprised how affordable you can get things if you take your time. i bought my system in pieces over the last 4 months from ebay and ca.com and diy. total i spent somewhere around $900, but that includes buying some package deals and then selling off the parts i did not need to get some cash back.
unfortunately this does not include the cost of materials for the fg setup. i estimate that will run me about $250-300 by the time i buy everything. i have the idea in my head, but it's kind of hard to explain. as you open the trunk, the amps will be closest to the bumper, mounted almost vertical but tilted slightly to the back seat. wider amp in front, narrower behind. behind that will be the subs, sort of facing up and tilted towards the bumper. the fiberglass will go around the subs and then drop down right in front of them. it will also continue around the outsides and the front of the amp, making them sort of sunk into it. the entire thing will be one piece with seperate air chambers for the subs, but you won't be able to tell that when it is done.
i am also going to steal
THEMANCALLEDDAX's idea and build a fg enclosure for the 6x9's using the rear parcel shelf carpeting as the base (after soaking it in resin). went to a local junkyard and got a mint condition rear parcel carpeting for $15, so just incase things get screwed up i still have mine. actually, that is a good tip for everyone - if you are going to modify a part of your car it is always a good idea to have a spare one to work on in case things go wrong. what is $20-50 for spares in the long run anyway? if it turns out like i want i could always make another one and sell it i guess. all the flush mount rings and spacers should arrive here next week, so next weekend that build will begin.
this is my other setup and will give you an idea of how the subs will be facing, only amps in front of instead of in between.
