Wood Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How about on a slope on top of each wheel well? I may have to worry about the trunk lid hinges when closing the trunk, plus I dont know how I would secure that? 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 You would make an mdf shell molded to the shape of your trunk in all areas that will be visible, except instead of following the curve of the wheel well you would have a flat piece of mdf at a 45 degree angle or so Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wood would be glued together as a one piece final product, gravity a would do its thing. You could also use magnets, or dovetail cuts. Lots of ways. Wire management will depend on how much wire you want to show or hide. To make it 100% hidden wold mean beauty panels and more space. An easier way would be o just drill holes in the wood for the wires to come up through. All depends on your preferences.

I think I made a final decision and if you dont mind tell me what you think.... Instead of doing the C1100.4 and running rear fill speakers, maybe I can get either get the Sympony S550.2 or the 800.4 just to run a front stage... maybe bridge my front components if i decide the 800.4 (on CJ dyno test, it can put out 400 rms ea channel when bridged) since they're foot print amps Maybe I can fit one of the syphmony series amps and the BC2000D on the back of my box and just double baffle the back of the box and maybe run a beauty panel over the wiring? That will not only save space and allow me to coninue to rear fire, but also relieve stress on my electrical to where All I would need is a nice start up battery + my alt that we discussed in the other thread. What are your thoughts on that? 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sounds like a god plan bro. Without changing amps, you could also mount them in a stacked formation on the back of the box. Beauty panel or even a plexi front facing covering and fans to push/pull air hidden on the sides.
