I appreciate all the compliments guys. The car is officially now a "money pit". I think one day my wife will have to bury me in it, right now I think she wants to bury me in it. Anyway, when we removed the rear amp and everything else on the gas tank I forgot to post pics of what happened to it all. The rear amp of course went away along with the Stinger isolator. The fuse holder, relays for the fuel pumps were moved basically behind the factory fuel pump relay. Now if there is an issue just the rear seats have to come out.

This is the most epic and clean sound system build I've ever seen, but OPs attitude when it comes to asking for replys, that deterred me from posting on here. I've never seen someone threaten to not post just because people are not responding, whatever though, nice build, great job.

That's funny, I never threatened anything. I basically said since no one had anything to say obviously people weren't reading the thread so why post. I've been on this forum a long time and have contributed a lot of info and a lot of pics. I get PM's all the time asking questions about things and I always respond. When I posted that I just thought it was kind of funny the thread wasn't getting a response since I get asked stereo questions on a weekly basis. If no one wants to respond to what I post, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

amazing build. i personally could never give up the spare tire, but would love to give a more finished look to the trunk.

the attention to detail is engineer like, as if your recreating the car in your own image from the ground up. this kind of detail with imaginative thinking you rarely ever see, and i hope to have the pleasure of seeing more of the work you do to this beautiful car.

how much did that kind of setup cost you if I may ask ? Not including the electronics (amps,stereo, speakers, wirings)... just the baffle setup / enclosures / fiberglass ..

Really Nice ! I wish I have that on my Black Mamba ...

Thanks guys.

Gerb,

Your looking at roughly $2,000 in materials and about $3,000 in labor for what I had done. I didn't pay that much because my buddy that did the work is a really good friend of mine.

Part of the reason for high cost is hydro dipping for the wood, paint work, CNC work, vinyl and suede and of course all the wood and fiberglass. Fit and finish is perfect also. There were some guys this weekend that were blown away with just that. It basically took a month to build just the trunk so for $5,000 I think that's pretty fair.

thanks... no doubt anyone who sees that setup will be blown away. With pictures , it definitely looks amazing already and surely much more in person. Damn, If I have that and I can drive around with my trunk lid open just to show it off I will . Truly a work of art ! I believe that price is pretty fair... a lot of time and work spent on the setup. I can't help but gasp in awe .. simply amazing !!!
