C5 Custom Audio Install Pics Wanted
I own a 2000 NBM Coupe and I'm looking at having (2) 12in Subs, (2) 10lb Bottles of NOS, and (2) amps installed, and still have room for the top. I was going to install kenwood amps and headunit and Pheonix Gold Xenon Subs, and Focal K2P Speakers. I want to know if anyone has pics of their own custom installs done. And if anyone has suggestions about having two 6.5, two 4 and 4 tweeters up front, and two 6.5 and 2 tweeters in the rear. Anyways, I want both pics and suggestions for my custom install. Thanks.

.Dude, thats kinda similar to the system im getting except the NOS. My main focus is a 5.1 system that will blow any uppder-middle-class-home-theater-system-of-families-who-are-audio-concious into dust. Basically I'm talking about $7000 and under speaker systems (receiver included). For that I got CDT Eurosports 6.5 for front, CDT 61A for the rear, Pioneer AVH 7500 head unit, clarion center speaker, sub & amp undecided but the amp will be placed vertically on the very rear trunk wall of my coupe. And ofcorse disable the parking brake trigger so I can watch pearl jam instead of the road. I think everyone should get the clarion center speaker no matter how crappy the sound is. It beats the piece of black plastic that fills up that half-din spot any damn day.

Oh price for all this so far (no amp or sub) has cost me $2700. And this is by ordering the cheapest i could find on the net. If youre interested in CDT 61A, you really really wanna check out thezeb.com right now cuz they have them on sale 120 dollars off for reasons of off-color paintjob.

I managed to get three 12" in the back. I can still store the top too 
I'm sure you could easily put a N2O bottle were my 2 CD changes are (under the Corvette light)

That's a really nice setup. How's the bass in that thing? Do you think, my set up will work? 2 subs in the rear tub slightly elevated and the two N2O bottles in the smaller compartments, and the amps right behind the seats?

I see no reason why your set-up would not work. I would think you would put the bottles within reach unless you are going with the remote openers.
I've seen dual 8"s and dual 10"s in the center compartment. I have not seen dual 12"s yet and I would think it be extremely hard (if not impossible) to get the correct airspace for two 12's out of the center compartment. Good luck and be sure to post pics

My plan for it was to have it elevated, so it won't be a flush install. Then off to the sides will be the bottles. I wanted a semi-stealth install, to hide the amps. All my windows are limo tint to keep the peepers out and I don't want to give them a reason to break in my ride. I talk to a few people and they suggested I use vinal instead of carpet. Which do you guys think is better?
