Default My (second) Audio Upgrade Pictures

I would like to share w/ CL some pictures that were never posted on here of the audio upgrade that was done on my GS this summer.

I did not want anything flashy or outrageous... clean and simplicity was the main objective on this upgrade.

I'm confused you post that you have 2 L7 12's but you have a baffle for 4 woofers? (that are round)

Did you cut the rear deck out? I'd like to see that Looks like they got the rear deck and built a baffle off it... What a great idea!

very nice and clean!

im with mr jokster though. l7s but you have round subs in the rear deck? whats that about?

unless the rear deck with round sub shaped is just some kind of "illusion" or are they speakers or something?

where did you end up hiding your amps? in the trunk on the sub box or behind the rear seats? came out looking very clean. i like it alot. it just seems your amps might be pretty hard to get to if you ever wana adjust or anything happends to them and wana get to them quickly.

im a little jelous of how much trunk space you have and how clean it looks. =(
not to mention that rear deck. whered you get that done?

in the last picture of the first post, you can clearly see speakers in there. They look like loudspeakers. Cant think of the name at the moment, but they look familiar.

those are definitely 12's, just look smaller due to their positioning.


I need to get on the chalkboard, cause this just gave me an idea I WANT MY TRUNK BACK!!!

I apologize for not posting the spec sooner. There are no subs in the rear deck. The bass from the L7s are extremely heavy the component speakers could not match-up too. (IMO bass should never be more than voice)

Rear deck has four 10" B&C loudspeakers w/ tweeters. BTW it was not my first choice in brand however, after hearing these baby play I was totally amaze... Very happy with them.

2 amps are mounted behind the seat onto the custom built box wall additional 2 amps are located on the opposite side.
