@dbsupra, thanks for the interest! But have been dealing with some issues as of late. I think I've FINALLY found the source, and its my pioneer, I think. Well anyways its in the shop. I have a few pics I can upload though. hope you enjoy!

Ordered new RCA's

Just a random shot of the ZED installed, it is not currently in this configuration.

random shot of the box installed, again, not in this configuration atm

Painted L brackets

And today is a sad day... now I haz NO boom. But I hope for it to fix some of the issues I am having.

Wow, I really like the way everything looks. I value aesthetically pleasing looking sound systems so kudos!

No more "hot swaps" when you get that HU back!!

I'm looking foward to hearing everything @ Slamology :-)

And I use cut up pieces of paper with my writing for labeling, never would of thought of that idea.

Nice looking rca's bra!

haha thanks! A huge improvement for me over the monoprice. Although you will never be able to beat their price, they just weren't right for my application. But these bad boys really bite onto the female connectors and I love that.

Have you been able to get everything up to par yet?

Ok, so here a decent build update, hope you guys enjoy. I started yesterday(Thursday) at 6pm and it is now 9:20 (Friday). Wasn't a lot of work done persay, one job, but just involved a lot of time that I really haven't had lately. I'm dead beat right now though lol, covered in saw dust and sticky glue fml. Well what I did was flatten my false floor to be flush with the rest of the cargo area, I wrapped it in the same material as my box, cleaned the interior of car, I ran cable under the false floor and mounted both amps. Here are the pics.

I used these blocks to level the false floor.

In place, one on each side and two and the far ends of the hatch side.

Stacking them prior to above image

Here are a few imaged of what it looks like underneath.

Good amount of area down there, I will be utilizing this area later on

Amp guts of the Aq 1200

Installed mounting feet of the ZED

Floor wrapped in Pleather from Hobby Lobby

Floor installed

Most wire ran

Amps installed

VERY tight fitting on all wiring

Another view

Not so blurry version

No wires are visible with seats up

Anotther angle of the amps, rear passenger door

Notice it is now light out >.<

I love this photo here, ZED and Got Port? Notice how flush it looks!!

And of course the Z

And thats it for this update, overall, I am VERY pleased with the results. The thing that inspired me to do this was, well it was messy, but also, I am a new member of my first car club! Project Mayhem of Nashville. So now the new challenge while competing in MECA will be to be loud AND looking good while doing it

Thoughts?

@Swift,

No not yet, I dropped off my Pioneer off to a authorized Pioneer repair center thought last Thursday. So its been a full week. So this is good news, I hope. This, to my guess, means that there was something indeed wrong with the unit. So maybe waiting on parts or something? I was hot swapping the RCAs many times during this installation and troubleshooting

[Sencheezy 689]

Oh yeah! Great news, I also just recently got some new bling yo!

3k Black Diamonds

[swift 501]

Floor looks good. The end result looks great!

Thanks Tim! I really like this jigsaw, it has several options, cuts nice, AND was the cheapest one at HD lol

[Sencheezy 689]

Me and Swifts' Fords!! lol

[Sencheezy 689]

So I would like to inform everybody of where this build stands at right now.

I was tipped back in January of a guy selling some stetsom amps over at SuckMyDi**. Guy name was/is !!!Blinky!!! Well anyways, longer story short, money was sent January and have yet to received the Stetsom 10kd I've payed for. Will be filing a police report tomorrow. So we will see what happens with that. I am looking for a amp that does 10k-15k rms. budget is 1-1.5k$.

My Pioneer is currently in the shop, I believe there is something wrong with the RCA output, so waiting for that. Also, goals for slamology is to have doors glassed, and laminates/tints installed. And after Slam, I will be installing SDS then the lastly the subwoofers.

So I guess just stay tuned!

[nem 2,019]

That sucks! I hope things go in your favor and you get your money back.

[jcarter1885 995]

Sucks about your amp situation but thats a hard budget to work with for 10-15k.

[stevemead08 752]

Sorry dude. I told you don't buy that stetsom.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I now do enclosure designs, past professional experience work can be found below, this is the enclosure that I have decided to design. This is a top view and no I can not design another like it, sorry patent pending

Rembrandt?

The line formation and flow is much more indicative of Monet with a sprinkling of Renoir.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Nice work along the way, love all the photo's. I hope the deck can be fixed soon.
