The subs, amp and speakers in the trunk look real good
...
The screen on the trunklid needs some sort of an enclosure around it and the wiring needs to be routed thru that and down near the struts. AND FINGERPRINTS!!! CMON MAN!!
How did you mount that up? What kind of bracket did you use? The monitor is a bit heavy (I know, I got one sitting right in front of me)... How is it closing the trunk? You gotta be very careful not to screw up the monitor bro...
See what you can come up with to frame it out and look more intergrated.
You did the other enclosures very nice, I know you can do it!

Subs look great though *thumbsup*
The screen is on an adjustable arm so i can pull it out, angle it, adjust it, and what not. I just thought it'd be more practicle since im actually gonna be tailgating and standing for hours at a time wont do...but i guess you guys are right...maybe i should build something.
I mounted the screen by reenforcing the trunklid with a thick puddy like fiberglass that hardens when dry...after i did that i screwed the arm onto the trunk lid and mounted the screen, it works very well IMO. (ill post some pics up tomorrow to show how it works better)
Closing the trunk was a bit harder with the first bracket i bought because the arm didnt lock...so i went and bought a new one that would lock in place. But now with the new barcket it closes fine with a lot of room. I sunk the amps in the floor so i would have more room inthe trunk to put my books in there for college and it works without hitting the screen...the only problem i have now are them moving around on the plexi-glass and hitting the 6 1/2"s
but oh well...ill just ask a friend to make some sort of cargo net for me sincei cant use my old one(anyone want to buy it?).
Anyways ill have better pictures tomorrow to show you how everything works and ill CLEAN it up since it was raining lol i still need to get a trunk light(LEDs!) since the sub box covered my old one though.
Ill keep you guys posted
sorry for the crappy pictures

looks nice man. huge props for doing that all yourself. i think its fine the way it is, especially cuz if you make something for the screen it wont be able to swivel anymore? if that is the case leave it as is, i'm sure the swiveling will be needed for tailgating. but yeah, very nice.
yeah its okay. dont like the screen wire hanging out like that. was hoping it'd be more flush. you need to wipe all the finger prints off that screen too lol. but everything else looks nice.
yeah thats why i didnt want to mount it in just one spot...because i wouldnt be able to adjust it so I could see the scrren at every possible angle...but since it swivles i couldnt tuck the wire i needed the wire there so it would extend. and ill clean it all up later on 2day, but its still raining
