My trunk pics.

Well, some of you old timers have seen pics of my old trunk. I finaly got around to having my stuff professionaly installed. Below are pictures of how my installer fit 3 amps and a 12inch sub in a hybrid trunk and left me with a spare tire.

Uncovered (wires need to be cleaned up).



With side panel on.



Everything covered up (wiring still could be hidden better):

How much did you pay him to do this install, hopefully not much more than $50 bucks or so, cause it's a pretty amateur install. I still don't see the third amp in the pics either. Where'd he put it?

I was more referring to the wiring and the exposed wires. If you're paying them to do it, they could at least make it clean. That's just plain laziness on the installer's part. And it's bad practice.

Yeah. I agree about the wires. The third amp is a low power alpine amp for my tweeters. mounted under the rockford. Like gearbox said. It was a lot better than what was there previously. Most of the wires were there from a previous install and they just reused what was there.

It woud have been nicer if they could finish it up and neaten up the wires, but my goal was basicly just to have the amps solidly mounted, not lose much trunk space, and still have a spare tire. Neatness wasn't realy a priority, but I agree it would have been more professional to make the wires look all nice.

Yeah, that install is very very sloppy. It looks like the typical install that "dad's friend who knows how to install" did. Ick.

Why is it when someone says "Uncovered (wires need to be cleaned up)" in the very first post, that 5 people (i counted) still bring it up. I love you guys it just kills me.

Yup. Its fiberglass. The only way I know that I could make it have enough volumn and still be small.
