Well after a weeks worth of working on it, the system in the Z is completed. We did all the fiberglassing and what not this week, and it turned out awesome!

I haven't seen it yet, so I THINK it may be the first, but we put a 12" sub under the rear strut tower brace.

Anyways, we've got a Project ActiveTuning issue dedicated to the entire install which will have tons of pics of the process and the end result, so look for that in the future.

In terms of all the audio stuff we used in case anybody is interested:

- Infinity Kappa Perfects in the front
- Infinity Kappa 2-ways in the rear
- Infinity Kappa Perfect 12" DVC sub
- Polk/Momo C400.4 4-channel amp
- Polk/Momo C500.1 mono amp
- Tsunami 2 farad cap
- Tsunami wiring
- Pioneer 850MP headunit

We're also working on the in-car pc setup, but had some issues with the monitor, so that had to be sent back. That should be installed within a couple weeks. Also, we installed a rear-view camera, but I'll leave that for the PAT issue...the placement is pretty clever

Anyways, for now, here's a sneak peak at how it turned out:

HOTT!

 

thats a really nice install!!!

 

hey give us some insight on the placement of the rearview camera pleaseeeeee.........I'm about to drill my liscence plate and put it in there, but if you have any better options i would love to hear them.

Than

 

do you have a problem with reflections on the rear glass?

ss, behind the license plate is the place to do it

spdu4ia, since the box only sticks out a little bit from under the strut, I don't reallly get any glare. When I look for it, I see it, but nothing that distracts me....Also I have fairly dark tint, so I'm sure that helps a little bit.

 

Very nice install!!! Thats probably the only way you'll fit a 12" or two under the strut bar. How does it sound? How long did the install take?

 

Very nice setup, im also interested in seeing the rearview camera. what brand is it? or what specific camera is it?
thankz

Nice setup! Lots of time and money in that install. Cant wait to see more!

 

350Mark, it sounds AWESOME, but only with the hatch closed. It pounds very hard, but very clear, most people can't believe it's on 12" sub. We worked on the install for about a week straight, I would say at least 40 hours with three people working on it.

Spoon, I found the camera on ebay, not sure which brand, but you should be able to find one there for fairly cheap.

 

Is it painted or is that vinyl?

 

It's painted, that would be some shiny vinyl!

 

Sweet install. Be sure to post more pics once your stereo project is completed.
