Default Re: 100 W amplifier upgrade for fronts

Yun,

How is the box in the back fastened in so in a head on collision it does not become a torpedo? I'm probably screwed anyway since I have the quick release and Momo wheel with no air bag, but I am thinking about an enclosure.

Funny you should ask. I thought of a pair of "L" brackets on the back bolted into the fiberglass but couldn't get over drilling through the floorboard. If I have a head on, I'm screwed! Luggage strap may alleviate this concern.
As is, tight fit, high friction material and weight keeps the box from sliding around.

Okay, thanks. If you don't mind, I'd like to send you an email about some I found and your thoughts since I'm getting off subject. I know you put a lot of thought into everything you do. I'm not ready to upgrade to a 390 yet....

I have the AVH-3300BT Pioneer connected to the stock amps/speakers through the Metra interface (boy was that fun to install). How is your sub connected to the system? looks like an interesting add on to me.

I am using Pioneer AVIC 140BH head unit spliced to OEM Bose speaker/amps using Metra converter using low level outputs (RCA jacks). This head unit also have RCA output jacks (left & right) for sub woofers. These outputs are connected to Alpine sub woofer amp that powers 10" low profile sub woofer in 1.1 cu in. sealed box.

Thanks I need to make a trim cover to cover the amps and wiring though, with some windows for the amp emblems

Sorry, I’m only 4 years late to see this. You know I’m slow....just like the C5 mirrors. I’m sure it will be cool like all your other mods. Can’t wait to see it! [emoji1303]🤙🏼
