Default 3GS Custom Fiber Glass JL W7 box

Well I finally found some free time to get a start on installing my stereo in my 06 3GS I posted a couple other pictures of some of my other handy work with my S14 nissan 240sx

It sucks that the amp covers the trunk to rear seat port hole but meh I miss bass way more then I ever use that hole.






The amp is a JL audio 1000/1 I will be adding 1x 12 inch JL audio W7 but I have not even started the fiber glass pod for it yet. The amp is amount on a simple yet functional amp rack with all the wires tucked away all neat. on my last trunk enclosure on my nissan s14 kouki There was no trunck space so on my lexus im going with a simple clean install with big power.

My last fiber glass box
















PS I MISS MY S14 EVERY DAY

R-Fosgate isn't my taste, however I can definetly appreciate the work that went into making that system, trunk looks super clean! Pioneer in-dash is topnotch too! Are those wheels Super Leggeras? s.p.?

Maybe you should toss in all your old stuff in your GS, that would be crazy. I wonder if the S-AFC would be compatible with the Lexus. I still have a V-AFC lying around from my Accord that I traded in that's just collecting dust. Wanted the AVC-R too, but like all EBCs, they're crazy expensive. Looks like you spent a lot!

How are you wiring the amp to the factory setup? Are you wiring from the sub or at the factory amp?

This reminds me off the 900 watt system I had in my Prelude in college. I was running JL audio and polk speakers. It was insane to have that kind of power in a tiny 2 seater

Can you make a tutorial? lol
I did it for my friend's IS250 but something with the bass i feel i did wrong. A second direction would help me better for my car.
