Oh and other thing :P,
I'm guessing there is no access to the spare tyre ?
What about the rear lights ?

Are you going to fit the alarm system by yourself ? Do you mind me asking how much you payed for it ?

Really good job there, looks like you know how to work with wood pretty well :look:
The install looks great, good work. The pictures look much better which were taken with the camera :)

thats really good mate! am liking where you have mounted the rear speakers and power cap. seats out installs are ace :) the only thing that i would have done differently would have been removed the corsa plastics either side of the boot and the rear qtr panels

Na, just the light shining on it at different angle, makes it look lighter sometimes, not best at covering but then i aint an upholsterer :|

pics of the screen thats goin in 1 way or another
started as a normal screen, read on the back it was a 12v DC screen:lol:
no power converter needed which is even better
started pulling it apart to see what wasn't needed, took out the speakers and the mounts for the stand
then started makin the frame for it
Then started covering the frame in same material as boot install
And mounted the switches onto the bottom corner
Then hooked it up to my PC to check it still worked and see what it looked like
Now i just need to work out where to mount it and get the wiring in

life started like this in the boot of my car
I then went on to doing my first boot build
One nite i decided, no g/f, no kids, don't do loads of shopping so don't need any space in rear of car, next moring i got to work, stripped the whole rear of car
car was quite bit faster after all that weight taken out, but i knew what i wanted so carried on, next was the floor for everything to be mounted on
then spent ages trying to work out where i wanted the subs to be, finally got it and mounted boxes to the floor and started work on the surrounding area
Section for subs all done, which included front bit where power cap will be mounted, the position of the rear speakers came to me later on
won a job lot of these in the mean time, knew i'd need a few anyway
Bought a new power cap too, along with good few meters of 4awg earth and power cable which was needed for all the wiring
next was the section for the amps, nice easy square section, well i thought it was easy, still took awhile workin out how i wanted it
Next i made the bits for the rear speakers
Then i sorted out loads of wiring, power, earth and rca's, also did wiring for power cap and for fused distribution block, also added section to front to finish/hide/blend into car
Then i started making all the bits to blend into the sides of the car, took ages !!
After the whole thing was finished it needed sanding down, sanded all the square edges to be bit rounder ready for covering
All sanded down, wiped down the whole install and ready for covering
Next came the covering, had to dismantel most of the install to cover certain parts, few pics of bits while covering them
Then i went onto covering the rest of the install and mounting few bits
Next was subs and amps, and putting main fuse back in after 6 weeks with no bass
Then i got this, thought it's best to help protect my car
Basically done now, just need perspex cover over the amps, happy it's all done now
That was all done about 3 months ago, i now have another matching Alpine amp on the way and a 17" TFT screen to put in the rear somewhere
