Tempe's set up sounds like it would work perfectly for you

tempe, so how do you change your lights for your taillights? or refill your washer tank?

For tail lights, you don't need access from inside the trunk, you unscrew the tail lenses from the outside.

As for the filler :-)



The top hose runs to an opening in the front of the trunk, and has a cap on it. When not filling the trunk, the hose tucks into the side trim.



The side hose runs down and out the trunk vent.

To fill, you un-tuck the hose, and and pour fluid in through a funnel. Once the bottle is full, the overflow spills out the side hose and out from under the car. Re-cap the filler hose and tuck it back away

These were all mock-up pics... Everything was tightened and cleaned before the trim all went back together.

Anyone have one of these with a JL 10W7 in it? I'm curious how it sounds considering the recommend volume is 1.25cft not counting speaker displacement.

measured volume: 1.32 cuft
10W7 Driver displacement .09 cu ft
10W7 Recomended Volume 1.25 cuft
Volume gross needed 1.34cuft

With this setup you are .02 cu ft off. That is the equivalant of 1 and a half cans of coke. I am sure they would sound great.

If you're a purist, you can add a 1/2" spacer of MDF and that would pull the driver out far enough to get the volume dead on.

I like where you have the subs. It would save room in the trunk if you mounted amps under the seats. but thats just me I like to put some stuff in the trunk.

TempeRacerGuy

attached to that amp rack I have attached:
(on the back side-visable)
3 amplifiers
2 capacitors

(and on the back side not visable
1 hide-away module for my head unit
1 Navigation module
1 Sirius Satalite radio module
1 XM traffic/weather module
1 I-pod adapter
2 distribution blocks
2 power amplifiers for my TV antennas

I doubt you could fit the amps alone, forget about all of that other stuff under the seats.

The way I have this added removes less than 3"s of trunk space from the back firewall. (amps are 2.5"s thick, mounted to 1/4" plywood structurally mounted to the front firewall of the trunk) The rest sits in the circular void just behind the rear seats. Note that now I have a carbon fiber strut bar that sits about 1.5"s out from the tops of the amps. I did not sacrifice much trunk space :-)

In the picture below, from the begining of my build, you will see that there's a hole in the plywood. Through the hole, you will see the back of the rear seats... it's less than 2"s to the back of the seat, the 1/4" plywood is flush with the trunk firewall.



Thanks for your input though
