Alpine PDX 4.150 and 600.1 plus 2 crossovers for the rear speakers stuffed in there. Box is MDF covered with tru-vette matching carpet and the C6 emblem is from plexi and painted/clearcoated by yours truly.
Evan Q.

Might end up putting some neon under there to highlight the emblem from underneath.

When you hit the "post reply" button, click on the paperclip. It will open up a new window in which you can upload pictures to the post directly from your computer. I think you can upload 6 at a time.

You have to be a supporting member.

Also, I'm thinking of completely redoing my sub box...

I'm sick, I know.

Gotta show some C4 love here:



The current setup is above. The below pic was my old setup, same box/rack.. but you can see what makes it up.



I am about to ditch the whole thing and get something with more air space. I pulled that 10" out and put it in a standard wedge box and it now has 2x the bass performance.

Only problem is now I need new rear carpet since I cut my original one

I can post to the "Official Amp Rack Thread" now!
I got 2 PDX series amps screwed to a 1"x8"x40" that is glued under the carpet to the trunk floor. I used a tube of white adhesive/caulk for the glue. I also cut the undercarpet insulation so that it fit around the board, instead of covering the board. Made for a neater install.

Here's mine...This is Audio Dave's new creation, a combo amp rack & storage bin for the C6.
Amp is a Soundstream Picasso series 4-channel. Two channels driving the Eclipse 3-ways in
the doors & two channels bridged for the sub.
Also, one of his new C6 sub boxes with a 10" Memphis sub!


Also, check out the amount of storage space inside the bin!
