Got almost everything I ordered for the car, one of the fog covers will get here tomorrow. I like how it ended up looking, definitively better than a hole.
Lots of stuffs
cover installed
BOSE speaker vs Power Acoustik
Took spare tire and jack out, cut the brace\support for the jack to make room for the amp. Covered the holes with silicone.
Running the wires wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, just had to take a few things off
Since the grommet that goes to the door is an plug, there is no room for the new speaker wire so we cut a hole to run it
Evan cut out some particle board to make a base for the trunk, the amp ended up under it taking the space of the spare tire
the board covers most of the trunk and is secured by a bolt using the support for the spare tire
put it back together and you'll never know there's an amp in there, trunk is still fully functional
I really like the outcome, the sound is much better than it was before. I need to change some settings on the head unit, right now I'm not getting a lot of bass from most songs unless I crank it up. I had to go to work so didn't have time for the sub, will have to get to that later, should be a nice complement to the speakers.
Many thanks to Evan for helping me out, he couldn't resist taking a shot of my ass...
ANd a couple of shots from today's meet
