Hi guys

Here are a few pics of the small boot install i am doing, all it is really is a box that will house my amps, will be covered in the same stuff as the sub box and there will be holes for the amps to come through.

The first bit of wood to cut out: -


markings on the boot cover to see where the sub sits: -


The amps i have on a temporary bit of wood: -

Got me changer mounted aswell, dunno why i bothered cos i'm gonna change me HU from sony to a nice wee JVC DVD one soon and wont be able to use it lol

built a simple mdf face and moulded it in wi p38 filler, sanded it very lightly adn sprayed it colour of the car and ran a few high power LED's off the switch in the glove box, its alrite for a quick job but wud spend more time at it if i did it again!!
