That stealth install is awesome, if I mod the sound I want to do it like that

very clean look to it and still pretty good trunk space
glad I watched it

yes its sweeet but that's one helluva hot spot to mount those amps and they will get really hot upside down like that.

Good point, will have to address that if I ever do it, but the concept is counter to today's culture of the over exposed speakers and equipment .... behind Plexiglas and showing vs it all concealed... I would opt for the concealed look

I agree and yes you can allways add a fan shroud ...and not all amps run hot . its nice to have trunk space and retain spare tire access. ill be doing a simple old school system at some point. ive done many systems in the past. one of my favorite hobbies now I'm more into sound quality rather than blow yer windows out loudness lol keep me posted what you end up doing...maybe we can swap ideas . I love car audio.

The downside to the hidden systems like that is that you tend to sacrifice some performance to try and keep everything hidden, especially with subs.

It's easier when the task is to conceal everything inside the cabin, but to be allowed to arrange things as needed in the trunk.

I did a nice build one time with a false trunk floor. It had a single 12" in a spare tire well box, and everything was completely concelaed. We redid the raised floor with oem style trunk carpet, so it looked totally stock other than being a couple inches higher than normal.

I wish I had never sold off my dual 12: titanium Eclipse in one box set up .... but the conceal is even better as I get older too
