Just started a install in my mates mini for him , no pics of car as it's being painted but will add some when it's back together colours will be orange with black so audio install is being trimmed to match
we chose 2x8" jbl gto subs as I have a good listen to these and really rate them , drop low and hit hard so box for them was built first
box is 1.5cuft before displacement and tuned to 33hz .all joints are glued and screwed the sealed .
Box carpet arrived so could trim it and fit the port now ready for subs as it's fully wired
mono amp powering the subs is a Phoenix gold octane r 501
front component speakers are jbl power series 6.5"
the mids are going in custom fiberglass kick pods and tweeters on the dash .
Tweeter cups trimmed
and the start of the kick builds 12mm mdf base and baffle
12mm dowel uprights to form the frame are hot glued in place

Very nice amp-"rack", might just copy that idea with my PG's
My current setup steals to much space

Very tidy work so far, I like the speaker pods too. Can't wait to see what it all looks like installed.
