Nice idea throwing it on the trunk lid! However I am not envious of you having to run all the wires to integrate it into the factory system up to it (unless the stock system is fiber optic which would mean less of a wiring nightmare haha)

if the factory amp is in the trunk it shouldnt be that difficult at all. probably easier.

I like the trick of adding pigment to your resin...It would help gauge saturation, and air pockets. Im adding that to the tool belt.

How are you going to route the RCA outputs from your 3Sixty to your amps?...the panels that cover your trunk lid hinges look to have tight tolerences.

Are you going to run them inside of the hinges??

I knew that one I just meant running all the wires alongside/through the trunk arms to the trunk lid could be annoying.

MDF...I believe he used 1" thick on this. Except the bottom piece which was 3/4" iirc.

Fiberglassed over the fleece to make it strong and then applied Rage Extreme. (aka Bondo, but not "Bondo")

Add this to the list of things that will be upholstered to match the interior. Now i am on to some wiring.

The positive terminal on the alternator could NOT get any harder to get too. I actually cut a 12mm craftsmen wrench in half and wrapped it in electrical tape to get the job done and not short out the wire. Needless to say, my arms are sore, but i got it done!
