Talking ideas on stereo upgrade

To my surprise, my dad is getting me the xmas present of having my setup redone to more my liking. I really want to go all out in a sense with amp racks, and overall appearance. I really love the amp rack which comes from the floor of the spare tire (2fast2furious beginning scene) looks clean and really sick. any ideas on a setup. The installer is a friend of mine, and it won't hit me up for much, kinda a car in which they can show people, or have word of mouth. thanks

On mine: with the plexi cover over the amps and the covers over the "pockets" on the side, I can put back the stock Lexus oem carpet mat down and can use the entire trunk. The only thing visible then are the subs.

Just an idea.

Kapone, I like your idea with the Amp Box. Then you just cover it with the Lexus trunk carpet and it disappears, right? Is the spare still in there?

What am I? Chopped liver???

That's how mine is. It's in the spare well so that I can still use the stock Lexus carpet and still have full use of the trunk. The spare is gone, but it has to be unless you raise the floor or use the sides. That's another idea. You could use the sides to the far right and left of the trunk instead of the spare well. That way you retain use of the spare.

i have no spare tire but i made extra inserts on the side and top so there 4 extra pieces of wood that got carpeted so everything was level so my amps were bottom middle and i had 2 pieces od wood on top and 1 on each side of amps so carpet wood fit right
