RE: newest bass build... totaly striped trunk!
well the picture everyone loves on this forum 
added weight
tho i must say... wow i need to loose some weight myself
will also be buying 5new rims and 1 new tire to match and then ill have a fullsize spare in the trunk like the spare is pictured...
i still have to build some trim panels for the trunk BUT that will be built this weekend after i replace the rear trunk seal and seal it down real good!
ALSO plan on reverse mounting the amplifier in the trunk on the side trim panel and mounting it behind some plexiglass to show off the inside components realy nice mainly reversed so i can hide ALL THE WIRES! should look preaty nice once i get it all trimed out!
like that but much higher up.....

RE: newest bass build... totaly striped trunk!
day 6 work... trunk almost done.... just have to trum alittle off the botom of the sides for carpet clearance....
and then start worken on the amplifier to be mounted..
im gonna mount it on the one side panel. reversed with the back plate removed. plexiglass to show off all the gutts of the amps
and OF COURSE have to do some lighting... but anyone that knows me knows thats comen.LMFAO
ok well if you wanna see all the pics check out
http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...205%20and%206/
did some hinged side panels so ONE i can change my tail light bulbs if need be
TWO i can get to my amps that i will have mounted on the back.
THREE to hide some stuff from peoples eyes
thats the typical look im going for.
i also wanna get some etched vinyl cut to match the ORION logo and ill put it over the plexiglass.... something like this tho smaller so it fits beter in the opening.
still have to buy some new plexiglass cause my old stuff is scratched up, and a bit overkill being that thick.

RE: newest bass build... totaly striped trunk!
o man.. thanks.... but i know one thing.... pimp my ride... i wanna know how long it takes them to do thses kinda instals.LMFAO they cram about afew months worth of build into half and hour.LOL
i just gotta be happy its geting done.LOL tho i might not change this box ever.LMFAO i might change the sub out and pop in another amp on the newer sub.LOL just took ALOT of work well more TIME than anything!
i love doing these instals BUT at times it can realy make your wanna scream! i think i have had each panel in and outta the car at LEAST a dozen times if not more! cause i build like this needs each piece test fited after every cut! cause thiers nothing worse than thinking youve completed something and it wont fit where it needs to.LMFAO been thier done that-kicked my own @ss.....
forgot to add... ive also replaced my rear trunk seal... man that old seal was messed up! it was so lose it could fall off!!!!! this new seal fits tighter than a glove!!!!! if any water leaks around it im gonna weld the trunk lid closed.LOL
and even more shocked that the seal was only like 36bucks brand new from honda! also bought a new side quarter vent BUT havent changed it yet cause i have to pull the bumper cover to get to it but i did pull hard enough for the 2 clips to hold but still needs work to get perfect.

RE: newest bass build... totaly striped trunk!
not realy
and i even have a spot to hide my toys
and WHERE DID THE AMP GO
REMEMBER my side panels still open up. BUT the carpet has to be tucked back into the weatherstriping channel to be hidden realy nicely
just have to put a few cusion pads on the amp cover to keep it from scratchen the plexiglass. i also still want to get some etched vinyl with the orion logo and add some lighting to the amplifier BUT that can be added at anytime now and im tired/ hungry/ and BROKE..... BUT i got bass again and almost NO trunk rattle... just have to glue the liscence plate trim piece to the plate and then i wont have any exterior rattling!
