nice setup...my first impression was "sickkk"..then i noticed how you have it posistioned, i think you should flip your blueprint upside down

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.

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...

May I ask what type/size/intensity of LED's you used?
Were you wearing pyjamas when you took these pictures?

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...
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!!
