So I decided I wanted to upgrade my headunit to a double din sony XAV-70BT along with adding 2 12" Audiobahn subs and a flush mounted hifonics Amp. I had to buy a NAV bezel offline then i sold my 1.5 din bezel and made most of the money back so that was a trade basically. i put in a PAC Lc-1 inline gain control into a knockout right next to the rear power window button. it looks basically oem which is great just for on the fly bass adjustments. I welded together a Trim piece for the amp and got it chrome plated to match the speaker rings. I think it came out pretty good. I didnt get the amp in yet so there is no finished pic of the sub box install but it will be coming soon. i also am going to be making some small brackets that bolt to the underside of the box and integrate into my seat brackets just to make it alot harder for somebody to steal. those will be chrome plated too. now for the pics.. let me know what you guys think !

Good job on the install, it looks good.

It looks like you cut a hole in the box to sink the amp in. Did you happen to seal the air space cavity back up after cutting out the hole?

 

[cmagrey12788]

yes i did. i sealed it with pieces of the wood i cut out ,screws, wood glue, and fiberglass matt just to be safe

 

[WhiteGoat2011]

I bet those subs sound great in there.

 

[cmagrey12788]

i didnt get to hear them yet i still need to put the amp in. but im sure its going to hit hard. i cant wait to hear it. i may end up doing some sound deadening in the doors and stuff i have a feeling im going to hear vibrations and i hate that

Looks good!!! Did u build that box??? If u do do you have the dimensions??

 

[ironhead]

don't think you will have any issues with the amp overheating?

 

[cmagrey12788]

no i didnt build it. and i doubt it will overheat. there are 4 big holes drilled out on the bottom on the amp compartment under where the fans are. i got my amp trim piece back from chrome check it out!

Awesome job! The chrome looks really good.

 

[cmagrey12788]

thanks. yeah i wanted to do something unique ive never seen anyone do it like this before and i wanted the subs to look high quality so people will be like "wow" when i put my seats up

Been working on my sub box alittle more. I decided I wanted to have blue LED's that flash when the bass hits hard. It is Awesome! I got a very long roll of Blue LED's with 3M adhesive backing, and stuck them around my speaker grilles. the wiring is all hidden in the back and looks professional(i think anyways). I also had to use 1" chrome spacers to raise my back seat to clear everything. there is still plenty of head room it really made no change for my passengers so its all good . Everything is all set to go in and i think it looks great! let me know what you think!

Hell yeah man! i have 2 strips behind my seat but on my budget i cant do all that! good job!!!

 

[cmagrey12788]

Thanks man i appreciate it! believe it or not it was really cheap to do the LEDs.. the roll of LEDs was only like 10 bucks. and I only used half. lol. chrome was expensive tho

 

[cmagrey12788]

Here's one more video! Bass hits hard.. kinda distorts the mic and u can't hear the lyrics good till the bass stops. I love my new stereo
