Looking for ideas... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I would like to hear some ideas...

I have a 12" sub in a box just rolling around in my trunk and I want to fix this.

I also have the amp that powers the sub, another 4 channel amp, and a cleansweep.

I've been trying to get in touch with Steve to get my hands on a nice ******** box but he seems very very busy...

My plan was to put an amp rack on the passenger side of the trunk, the ******** box with amp rack built into it on the driver side, and the cleansweep in the stock amp location.

I am now thinking about maybe replacing the 2 amps with a 5-channel to reduce the clutter in the trunk. And then of course, amp rack and sub box on the sides of the trunk.

I could also just go with a large box that sits in the back of the trunk and mount everything to it... although to be honest, that isn't quite as clean of an install as I'd like.

Could anybody help me out? Post pics of what you've got and suggestions?

This is what I have now... As you can see, the sub is getting a little beat up

You can mount the box in the spare tire compartment. You have to move the battery up and cut out the mounts using a grinder but the extra trunk space is worth it. Especially since mine is a vert. Should have it done this weekend. Will post pics when complete

. Pics of what it looks like half way there are in my garage

Yup. Figured a battery takes up a lot less room than a sub box. Prob going to replace the stock battery with an Optima too. Footprint is a little smaller than the stock bat.

That trunk install looks pretty cool! Only problem is I have a spare tire back there... I could take it out - but the very same day I did I would end up needing it knowing my luck.

I am looking at doing some fabrication work in my trunk while incorporating the amps with plexi glass. Also like the idea of sliding out amps.

Why dont you put in a 5 channel that will fit in the stock location? Then you might be able to mount the cleansweep on the other side of the trunk or in the same box from ******** you want to buy
