SO here is what I brought

Mobridge unit
Focal 5.25 slim line components up front
Earthquake 8" subs for the mid bass under the front seats
2 sets of focal slim line components for the rear doors and the rear quarters
JL HD 600/1 for the Sub
JL HD 600/6 for the components
JL HD 200/2 for the 8" subs under the seats
2 * bass control units
JL w6 13inch sub
strret wise Pre outs
Distribution box for power

Here are the pics

Strip the rear (i fitted he KWv3 rear shocks at this point in time)

The rear quarter units are sealed I used an air saw to open them up

Awesome.....Are the amps going to get enough cooling in the 'hole'?

I noticed that on long runs that part under the floor can get quite warm because the exhausts run underneath.  You might want some kind of grille or PC type fans bolted on if it get's too warm - or keep the volume turned down.. :punk: :punk: :whistle: :rock:

lol i dont mind i need something fun and this ticks all boxes which are:-

Too low so speed bumps are a nightmare!!
Funny coloured wheels
smoothed side door so you need to open it on the inside
cheap and cheerful to run and with a map your have about 140 bhp and 300 torque
no one else at BP has the same in the car park and it looks nice parked next to the BMWs, Mercs, Jags etc lol!

impractical yes.....but the grin factor is huge lol!

System looks awesome!  Do you notice a big drop off in the car's performance when it's cranked up??  :))

As always Mr K looks spot on. Sure it sounds pure. Look forward to seeing/hearing this.

Loving the stance aswell.

Also apart from the colour you've gone with, I like the Caddy too.

You better head up to the Cosford meet on the 27th sala. Bring Gie too.
