My Custom Sundown Sub Install

[TheOlsonater]

Hey guys! This is my first thread on the forum, I'm just showing you all my custom subwoofer install. I'm only 17 so I still have to obey my parents rules, and they didn't want anything that took up storage space. In my old car, I had a 15" Earthquake in the trunk that took up everything. I wanted to find a way to work around this, so I took it down to my local stereo shop. They do great work there, and I knew he could come up with something.

So what we decided to do was to use the spare tire well. We took out the spare tire and cut out the spare tire mounting bracket. He made a sealed enclose and fiberglassed the entirety of the well. I used an amp I already had, an RE Audio XTX-3000.1, and he installed a Sundown 12" SD-2 sub. That's Sundown's shallow mount sub and it was perfect. He then went above and beyond with the paint and the carbon fiber wrap cutout. It looks and sounds great. Best of all it takes up no storage space and makes my parents happy

The same stereo shop also installed my HIDs and tinted the windows 20%. Here's some pictures.

That's really impressive. They did a great job! Just pay you don't catch a flat. Lol.

yea, i originally thought about doing this but i just can't give up my spare. What I will do is make a fake floor with plexy glass and the amp mounted flush..

Very nice!

Glad to see someone using a REAL brand instead of those terrible JLs!

Serious though, big props on Sundown, I've always been a fan!

I had a JL Audio 12W6 i bought back in 2001 in my camaro and that thing kicked butt so did the quaility go down of just have a thing against them... i would understand that being said about Pyle of audioTek

This is exactly what I want to do! Nice stealth sub install! Did he close in the sub underneath?

Looks really classy. I have always believed that sound systems are better heard and not seen, personally anyhow.

JL makes decent stuff still. But their prices are astronomical because the stuff says "JL". You can get products that blow away JL in both quality and price. Sundown, Audioque, Digital Designs, and FI are a few examples.

I have two FI SP4 15's that are going in the trunk real soon. I am just struggling with the economical side of me that worries what kind of hit my gas mileage will take with 300+ pounds of stereo in the trunk.....
