may03LT Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 So are you gonna be sealed off from the trunk? Is the glass on the deck to make it more rigid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 So are you gonna be sealed off from the trunk? Is the glass on the deck to make it more rigid? yep itll take up the whole space in the trunk besides the little side pockets right behind the taillights...and the glassing on the deck is a mold Im makin for the base of a fan setup...I have no other place to mount the amp, so its gonna be on the back of the box on an angle. since it wont see much cooling back there, im setting up 4 fans (2 pull 2 push) mounted to the trunk lid for cooling.
