looks good so far, but why do you have vice grips on your amps? Please don't tell me you're gluing them down.

LMFAO, no there not being glued, Come on after seeing what I can do, do you really think I would do that, lol. I actually built a sort of metal "T" frame that the amps will sit up on, so it will give me more room. Which is what this rear set up is pointing towards. There just held on by clamps so I can get an idea of what it will look like. I promise its not glued.

I love the way you set up your subs. That was exactly what i had in mind for mine but i only have one 12" planet audio sub. have you tested how the subs sound aiming in that direction?

Can you post a quick how-to on how how you did the dash? Thats exactly what I want to do but in fiberglass instead of CF.

I havent tested the subs yet. Im still trying to decide what I wanna cover everything with. I cant decide on CF or sub enclosure material because Im wondering if it would be too much of either. Im not going to paint it. Its either one of them 2. Im leaning more towards CF, but I dont want it to look too gaudy. What do you guys think?

Sure I will post a how too. I will try to get one up tonite when I get back form the shop. If not, def tomorrow.

It is fleece. Then I reinforced it from the inside with silica, aka resin expander.
