yes a fair bit of effort, lots of late nights and a few cans of beer, but i think it was worth it.

Excellent job. At first I thought the battery was staying bang in the middle of the install. Where is it now? Spare wheel recess?

8 rolls of dynamat at about £22 a roll, but that was doin up the wheel arches into the rear quarters and the boot lid. its a much needed part of the system.

ive kept a few measurments but to be honest alot of it has been guess work, its just been a case of cut the wood if it dont fit cut another until ive been happy with it. just sort of made it up as ive gone along.

That is an awsome install. Looks fantastic and quality gear all round with the Rockford's etc. I used to have a big boot install in a previous care that I fitted a bit like yours - never achieved that level of finish or quality. Very impressive work.

Did you really need the second battery and alternator? Would of thought you could have coped with just the capacitors? Then again on some cars it's just a question of fitting the diesel alternator - guess that's the issue is it, no uprated alternators available so had to use two?
