Well after waiting an hour for all my pictures to upload to photobucket on my extremely slow cricket wireless internet (only internet available at the moment) I can now write this tread
anywho... With EOS coming up, I gotta work double time to have something worth going for. I'm finally adding my second tank (two 5 gallons) and while I'm at it, I'm getting all the components out of the way, heres a before pic (actually before I changed from this 4 gallon to 5, so this picture is actually of a somewhat clean looking trunk, it was MUCH worse when I just "threw" the 5gal in there) :

As seen in these pics, Right front Right rear valves in passenger quarter panel:

![](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/MRJOKSTER/DSCN0219.jpg)
Now mind you, not much cosmetics are involved with equipment that is not shown. Wires will be zip tied for neatness, but thats about it.
Now forgive me for I'm not much of a photographer and was too in to the project to take a lot of time to take a pic, I know everyone loves pics on the internet, so I took a lot of random shots did as best as I could with lighting due to time taken (approx. 2am)
This pic is of the driver side quarter panel, only one picture came out good
; Left front Left rear:

Pictures of tire well now used to house both batteries (yes wires will be neatly tied):

Now this panel, as seen, is the beginnings of a false floor for the amp rack, everything other than box was made from plywood to reduce all unnecessary weight. As seen, this goes over the batteries. Pics are more of a mock up and test fit. I'm getting a lot of echo from the compressors that is resonating through floor so I will have to line it with some dynamat or something to reduce it and/or possibly lower it (reducing cavity where echo is occurring):

Now here are some mock up pics of positioning of the carpet in each quarter panel:

![](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/MRJOKSTER/DSCN0236.jpg)
Pics with center carpet. I'm still debating on how I'm going to do this. This carpet is just giving an idea of how stealthy this is gonna look.

![](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/MRJOKSTER/DSCN0243.jpg)
Once amp rack and tanks are installed, not much will be seen. I'm more than likely just gonna carpet the amp rack and leave it. The amps will be flush mounted in false floor with a beauty panel. Once the false floor is complete, it will extend over the valves [thus enclosing the valves reducing air sound (without silencers)] The compressors will be mounted above them. I plan on mounted the tanks facing front to back as opposed to the typical left to right, however due to where the valves are and where the ports of the tank are (creating a difficult and aggressive U-turn for the crappy plastic lines), I may have to mount them in an upside down V fashion for the mean time. As I mentioned many times in past, I'm slowly replacing those plastic lines with hydraulic lines which will allow me to mount the tanks the way I want in the future. Once complete, all you will see are the nice chrome sides of the tank with no ports showing, amps in between tanks, no compressors showing and no hoses showing.
Please make suggestions with creativity and/or location of components. I consider myself a master craftsman and can do anything in which only laziness and fundage holds me back
so IMO anything is possible if its thought of.
At this moment progress is: Many air leaks due to running out of Teflon tape at 4am in the morning LoL and aggressive angles of the plastic hoses not sitting in those cheap "push to connect" port thingies. Also part of plan is to eliminate those connectors and having directly screwed-in hydraulic hoses. Car is sitting at the moment and I will continue project next weekend when I will add more pictures if any progress is shown. Hope you enjoyed this

Forgot to mention. After doing all of this, I'm not gonna put crap for a system
Not sure if I've mentioned in the past or if anyone even knows who I am, but a couple months ago I got both my 13w7's 2 JL 1000/1 amps stolen, so I lost an awesome system that I cant afford to replace (they were in my home that got robbed with no insurance) anyways, I still got ahold of some decent components. I'll have a pair of bad *** Hertz audio High Energy 12's in the obvious location and I have a pair of 1000 watt Hertz audio amps to push them. They didnt take my JL 450/4 amp, so instead of trying to buy another, I'll be using that one for my highs, however if anyone wants to make a kick *** offer on it so I can get a matching 4 channel for my set up... that'd be great! ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
oh yea and I'm so excited to finally have a trunk to put stuff in! no matter how little the space is

Man I can see if you didn't know who it was u would charge it to the game but, knowing who it is it's going to bother u everytime you see the mother ****er I know it would bother me.
what makes things worse is that hes selling them on craigslist! On 2 instances I found him selling it. How do I know its mine? Easy, when you buy a $4000+ stereo system, you KNOW what you're getting. When you buy two 13w7's with accompanying 1000 watt amps for each, you KNOW its gonna be louder than sheit! You dont go on craigslist and try to sell it for half price saying "it didnt fit in my car" and "I didnt know it was gonna be that loud, its too much for me" just pathetic! I so want to set up a meet with the seller and catch him myself.... IDK. I just dont think about it anymore. The best thing is, is that I'm a hoarder and I had EVERY box that they all came in, so I had every serial number. So if BY CHANCE things are found, they can be referenced.... But until then, I'm just gonna have to settle with my lil ol' 120"
