Looks awesome man, i love your installs, very clean.

bah for people too lazy to click over haha

well, i just got finished with Ravi (GQ 350)'s beautiful daytona blue Z. despite my warnings, he picked up a 13w7...two things concnered me, one was its hugeness and where to put it, the second was its required 1.8cubfeet of air space. there are also two Elemental amps he supplied, and i got him a set of UR6s DLS speakers.

so...the goal was keep some part hte trunk usable, while doing a clean and classy install with some show ability... whcih given the size of the sub, was a challenge in itself. lol after measuring and remeasuring, it was determined that the best place for the sub, or rather the only place, was behind the arch, but wtih still two amps and crossovers to fit, i was worried that things would get too crowded...

but int he end, i think it turned out well

there is a 1.7 cub feet polyfilled box in the spare tire well (both side foam pieces had to be removed), above it, sit hte sub inverted in its own tray lined in blue vinyl. the floor is 1/2 mdf, cut into two pieces, one goes around the outside and the sub, covered in black matching vinyl, the rest i cut out and covered in blue vinyl, and high lights the amps and crossovers

the amp covers have raised lettering that says GQ and 350z, though it may be hard to tell in the picture, this is done at ravi's request

anyway, the sub just is HUGE amidst all this, but nowt hat its done, looking back, its kinda unique in its hugeness lol..

anyway...dont ask me how it soudns cause its not done yet, he is pikcing up the car today and then coming back next week for me to finish the kicks and iwring it up

i am sure Ravi himself will chime in when he gets home, he is on his way here now, so gotta go :P

oh and my back hurts like hell lifting that 55lb sub in and out of hte car...

questions, comments, and criticisms all welcome.

eventaally, i thinkhe can get a csutom cut floor mat, and make most of his trunk taolyl usable, right now, the safest place is to put things is infront of hte strut brace on the fake floor

Looks nice! Man that magnet is huge. :O

 

w7s are awesome. Too bad the magnet is ugly. Why couldn't they make it look like the focal utopia subs?

 

yeah that would really really rock...the basket is cool on a lot of these beefier subs, but very few have a classy and cool looking motor structure like the focals

Nice job

 

absolutely beautiful install.... i much prefer the black/color matched vinyl treatment to some of those outrageous fiberglass numbers..... you managed to retain most of the Z's minute cargo space too

 

i agree, painted fiberglass stuff i have done a few and i think if used minimally and in a clean way, is neat...but some of hte newer installs that has the stuff everywhere...while i marvel at the craftsmanship, in the end, i sure as heck dont want to have that in my car
