Default 10" sub/dual monitors

Hey guys. Thought I'd post some pics of my set up. Not the prettiest, but I really like it. So I have it so I can run GPS on the head unit while playing music videos or movies from my iphone, dvd, or SD card. Plus, I threw in audio/video inputs so I can play my PSP on the aux monitor... or videos through my PSP. So in essence you can run two different videos where one is through the car system, the other a set of headphones. Also, there's a 10" sub behind the driver seat, with the amp mounted behind the passenger seat. Here's pic for your viewing pleasure!!

um.. i got everything off ebay. pioneer head unit was $800, aux. monitor about $150, sub $200, amp $350. hope that helps. The monitor is a touch screen, so I think it cost more than it really needed to. There's really no need for a touch screen aux monitor unless you have a car pc hooked up.

Nope. Had to remove the metal cover and the excess number of bolts first. Then made a replica of the space with cardboard before creating the sub box. The Fosgate trim piece I just screwed to the cover panel for esthetics.

Although I applaud your effort, i'm not really feeling it. But it's your car, so to each his own.

May I ask how you sub is connected behind the seat? Are you using the OEM mounting brackets and just saved the black plastic? And is the sound quality from the sub good? I heard the OEM mounting enclosure is not the greatest and might need some dynomat.

Also, where did you mount your amplifier?

Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice sub. I've always wondered how tired people grow of a sub pounding right behind you. Maybe its just not that bad?
