Ok, I have 2 subwoofers and amplifier. I also got custom fiberglass enclosures for behind wheelwells. Robbyho over at LXforums did whole installation for me.

You will see it next week at SE Shindig.Yea yours looks much nicer than mine. How does it sound. I was surprised that my 10's didnt sound that bad. I wanted 12's but the guys said that 12 wouldnt fit in the corners. Cant wait to hear it next week.

Very nice setup. Any change they are selling more of the speaker enclosures? Think I want to do two 10's in the wheel wells. No carbon fiber, just color-matched to the carpet in the trunk.

It looks good! I like color of enclosure. It matches well.

It looks like you can't open spare tire cover. I had to cut spare tire cover on side by an inch so I can open it without rubbing.

Looks great, but I am confused.
Why are you putting in a high power audio system if you can't hear?

Do you remember the seller's name for the mat? It sure looks sweet. Better than the black quilted liner I have in mine that is actually a cover to keep pet hair off a car seat. It works good as it doesn't move around when in place and cleans easy, but that mat liner would keep me from putting all the cr@p I have in there currently so I could see it.

LOL....I do have hearing aid. Besides, it's so loud I can feel vibrations.

I got this from ebay for whole set (front, rear, trunk).

If you're only interested in trunk mat, you can contact the seller. You can pick out the color and logos.

I've got something similar in my trunk. I just need to get the pics up. I got a 10w7 in the left side and my 500/1 and 450/4 in the wheel well with some plexi over it and some cut outs to display it all. Do you guys know the specs of the amps and subs you put in? 500 watts for me is decent but i'm thinking of throwing another sub on the other side and swaping out the 500/1 with a 1000/1.

Did you use the stock head unit with this set up. I would like to do something like this but I want to keep the OEM head unit.

That is exactly what I am talking about. Perfect! I am going for the "stealth" look versus the "check this out" look. The Daytona gets enough attention as it is, so no need for the extra attention every time I open the trunk. Where did you get your enclosures made? How much?

It looks good but i was disappointed by the spare being a little difficult to access, but like i said before i hope to never use that spare. I got it done at a Local stereo shop here in Valdosta. I didnt see the box but i dont think its as nice as DeafCharger has. Its the same concept but i asked them to Carpet the box and run the carpet all the way to the back.

Thanks for the info TJchargerRT

Does the sub box from Dodge fit any better or is there the same problem with reaching the spare? I don't plan on having to get in there too often either. I am really surprised they have not made a enclosure for the other side yet...

Yes, I use the stock head unit right now. I will get REC Navigation someday.

I see you live in Seminole. Are you going to SE Shindig in GA this weekend? Over 50 LXers will be there plus at least 8 vendors. Should be a blast!

The Kicker sub box that SRTs have is not deep like I have. You can open spare tire cover without a problem. Yeah, they don't have extra sub for other side. That's why I wanted to get someone to do custom enclosures for me.

Is it a big deal to hook up a amp and a sub to factory stereo with NAV?

04-18-2007, 12:47 AM

I have 2 12's and a amp....what's the best way to go about putting them in? I had the 12's in a previous vehicle so they're already in a box, but of course can be taken out if there's a better way to set them up. Any suggestions are appreciated!

EDIT: BTW, I have an SE, if that matters?
