thanks - but if i flip it - the spare tire will become useless, plus you typically want your woofers pointing towards the rear of the car - you get a better bass response that way.

ok - so i was finally able to get some 'real' pics of my interior at night and what i mean by real is, this is what it really looks like - just as if you were looking at it in person:

the light in the rear deck is wedged into that little space where the glass shows through, so when you look at the car from behind you see this bright blue light - its pretty neat looking...

no - i didnt get the switch - had to go to my parents this weekend...what really sucks about my switch is that the electronics and everything work - its just the little buttons you push up and down broke...:( - i wish there was a way to just rebuild the damn thing

If it's what I'm thinking, it won't work.. Even though I'm an acrobat, I couldn't fit back there with my girlfriend. We had to keep the hatch open, and she ended up with a bad bruise :)

lol- yes i was...thats funny you noticed that..

as far what i have planned for the amp rack-i dont have a girlfriend (thank God) - so i wont have to worry about fitting back there...:P

i want to put a plexiglass window to display the wiring and led distribution block and may even put a LCD screen (haent decided yet) and of course it will all be lit up with some blue neon:D

i dont know what intensity the lights are - i used 2 12" neon tubes up front, 1 15" LED light strip for the roof and 1 15" neon tune for the rear deck...i got them all at autozone

thanks! it only took a couple of hours to put everything in place and wire it up - i wired everything to the remote wire on the stereo, so they only come on when the stereo is on and these lights have the option to pulse with the music - but i dont use that setting - its gets annoying and i always think there's a cop behind me when they are blinking on and off at night..lol

hahaha good choice! I know a lot of guys that would get pulled over for that. sounds just like what i did with my blacklights...i hooked them straight into the stereo so they'd be on with the key turned.

well - i got my head unit ordered today - hopefully it will be here quickly. the majority of the stuff is on-hand - enough to begin building the box that all this crap is going into. still waiting for the crossover and power/ground distribution blocks and i'll eventually end up getting one of those 200 Farad batteries - ugh - but overall - i cant wait to see it all put together - it will be awesome!!
