Wow, i've never amps mounted so cleverly. Nice idea! Thats gonna look great, can't wait to see more.

I've got a couple other ideas I'm working on as well for my roof. I want to create a civic overhead console for sunglasses and garage door openers and stuff like that. The trunk is going to have a tool rack in it cause as much as I travel, I like to be prepared. I was also thinking about mounting a small air tank under the car - like a 2-3 gallon one and a compressor just so I have air if I need it. I think I've got enough space behind the rear passenger tire. The body kit hangs low enough that I should hide a small air tank. The trunk is going to be redone - I'm going to sink the 3 subs down about an inch, then build a cover for them so I can put stuff in the back and not have to worry about damaging them. And also build cubby holes on each side of the box for the tools and extra quart of oil, parts or whatever. Then I should also be able to put a spare 17" rim and tire in the back too for those long trips. The plans for my car are almost not numberable - lol - but some day I'll get there. I know a lot of you are thinking - damn - that's gonna be a lot of weight - and yes it will be - hence the reason why I'm turboing the car. I don't race it, and don't really plan to. I just want the extra power for those whenever times and for myself. Plus I don't want to have an all show and no go. I'm upgrading everything.

Well, it took a lot longer than I tought to get the amps mounted. But I got it done. The wiring isn't finished and I'm not completely done with bolting it in. Since this is custom setup, things have to be taken slowly. So far it doesn't flex more than 1/4 inch, so that's awesome. I'd have pictures tonight, but my daughter wasn't cooperating so I'll try tomorrow. I've also almost got my sub box done and ready to put in for testing as well. I lowered the subs 2" below the false floor that I had in there before. It's going to look awesome, but it also cut my box from 3.6 cubic feet to 2.6 cubic feet. I'm not too terribly worried becuase the box is a shared are space design. I'm sure it's going to tighten up the bass some - just how much is the question and will it hurt the spl. Guess we'll see here in the next month or so. I'll get pics up asap for you guys.

I have a friend that has a full show car Scion xB with his amps mounted like that... I'd use some thread lock or something on those bolts so they don't shake their way out from the bass... better safe than sorry.

There is a lock washer and nut on the other end of those bolts, so I should be fine. I'm going to watch them for the first few weeks once I get the sub box back in just to make sure.

Any updated pictures?

[4G4D Store]

Not as of yet - I'm about half way done with the new fiberglass headliner. I'm molding in an overhead console into it and also a spot for a 7" drop down screen as well. I will get some pictures of that here in a few days.
