that a kicker war horse mounted over the motor!!!!????

Yep.

It's an electric car?

I believe it's a diesel.

It has a battery bank underneath the car, and a steel subwoofer enclosure flush with the cargo area floor.

Yeah, I was being a dick. I hate it when people refer to an ENGINE as a MOTOR, and Jon stated how he was having some fun time with Jager, so I figured I'd poke at him a bit.

Write to MotorTrend, Department of Motor Vehicle, etc, and complain. :lol:

So clean. :wub:

That is a pretty good idea to conserve trunk space. I've seen something similar before and thought it was clever too

I don't have a rear deck to mount to.

I'm thinking about sticking the extra battery in that cavity to the right of it. That's where the stock bass combo thingy majig was. Fiberglass a container in there, rivet in, mount the battery on it's side.

Then make a big amp rack.

The current picture looks pretty clean to me, which was the goal, but with the big enclosure sitting on top, it doesn't anymore. Not to mention if I ever change amps I have to redo the top panel.

If you guys have any favorite "clean" installs, post'em up. :D

Oh and my spare tire is underneath all that, so with the battery on side, a giant quick disconnect (8 speaker wires, 4 power wires, rem, and rca signal), and some gas lift supports, then I could actually use the spare if need be.
