so after building up a collection of goodies the past few months it was finally time to try and squeeze them in to the wee clio.

so ripped all the old out

the design had been pondered over for ages! but after talks with alot of folks for ideas the final plan was drawn up. also cheers to euan for his crazy ideas :lol:

after the amp was fitted to the base . the wee mad megician billy started his crazy irish wiring to wire up the 0 gauge through the car. :lol:

so after mounting the big amp a table had to be made to mount the bracket for the second amp

Nice story and quality install!! Looks awesome. What are the things on top of the subs? Are you gonna put the parcel shelf on too or leave it off?
 
hey folks! yeah i thought the amp may get hot so ivce left a gap to wire up soe red led'd pc fans:D

its not wired up yet will do wiring tonight!

on top of the subs oit the digital fuse holder and the distarbutor:D

earthed both sides using the screws just after the seatbelt housing!

Install looks nice,i had a very similar kicker set up in my old clio and the bottom amp did get very hot so you might need to stick 2 of they wee fans in just to make sure,i never had any cooling and it was a pain in the arse when the sounds just cut out!!
 
cheers for the advice yeah ive two of them wee pc fans on the way thast will mount either on the fake floor so they can be seen! or behind the amp tray where hidden!
all will be done once i make the new boxes. and see how much i got to play with!

cheers :D

0awg for 2 JBL subs? overkill???

it is an improvement visually, and a lot of effort can be seen to have gone into the install, but i can't help think that better equipment would be far far better
 
cheers jonny :)

yeah i am looking to improve the subs when some more money comes!

and didnt see any reason why not to use the 0awg as i got the kit cheap and it looks good :D
