Custom Fabricated Audio Head Unit

Well, it's finally installed and looks as good as could be hoped for.

Thanks to Eric at Bumper Plugs and Aaron at Marin Sound Werks for your attention to detail!

Lol! Actually, the Dynamat added about 35lbs, spread out over the whole car bottom. The sub and those incredible amps added more.

The amps are up front and low, so quick turn in will be compromised. I may opt for lower weight amps which would make a difference. These amps are very special though.

I do have the EVT 700 package... for now.

The JL's are the 6W3v3's - 6.5" drivers. Four of them in a volume-correct enclosure.

The whole sub box can easily come out because Aaron utilized the stock sub's mounts. The amps can come out with little effort as well. Nice for track day.

Thanks. It is out completely. It was placed on a shelf in the back of the shop, soon to be on eBay.
