New toys for the car

I am big into audio gear, and every car I have owned has had a full blown system. Because of the complexity with the ELS system in my 2013 TL I almost didn't want to do one.
But I did and here is some pics. Everything was tied in with a Audiocontrol LC8i (soon to be changed to Audison or Arc).

The gear
JL Audio 900/5 HD amp
JL Audio 12" W6v3
Focal K2 Power Components for the front
Focal Access 165s for the back
Audiocontrol LC8i Processor to sum it all together

Front doors matted

Was excited to see if the focal tweets would fit or not so I checked them while at the office.

Two piece sealed box built on top of the AWD hump in the trunk

Amp rack and audiocontrol

Audiocontrol is mounted on the piece behind the amp.

Added the JL grill and plenty of trunk space left.

I really like that set up. What are the dimensions of the back portion of the box? and do you have a picture of the trunk before?

Yes more DD's lol. I sent mine off to DD and they are fixing them as we speak. my amp is way over kill for c5's even gained way down I killed them in a week lol. So now I have c3's in and just haven't turned it up at all.

Wow there was a lot more room in there than I thought. I miss having a full set up. My dd is a beater now though so I never hooked it up other than a memphis pr10 and an old amp to a stock head unit but once I fried my old amp I haven't been motivated to put any money into this car. However the front passenger door speaker just blew and it driving me nuts and the stock head unit is a piece of junk so I might not have a choice but to do everything.

So the C3s get louder than C5s? I know the tweet is bigger but didnt know about the midbass.

Yea the trunk is fairly big but just odd shaped. There was no way to do a prefab box and maintain trunk space.
