Just wrote a nice big summary copy and pasted a image link then lost it all when I said "allow popups", any who.
I decided I needed some punchy bass from my car audio as the current wasn't too fun. As most of you know I'm not into d&b but It's still good to have decent sub's on any kind of music.
So I had a trip down to car audio security in Hayes's a proper audio place not the shite that you get from halfords and got 2 15" 1200 watt subs. Decided to install it all my self not really for the saving money but its actually fun to do. So I got on with it and it took pretty much 2 days skirting all the wire's and drilling a hole from my engine bay to my glove box then trying to blindly guide wires though and then try and get them to the back of the head unit for the RCA connections.
Got it all done then went down the route of wall mounting the amp and power capacitor to keep them out of the way. The end result is awesome and makes it hard to breathe at certain bass lines :D
I should have really taken pictures of the install but I was in the zone and powering through the install finding whatever shitty tools were lying around the house to complete it. Finally got round to taking some when its all done on the camera phone.
Main dual 15" 2400watt total subs in the same box

Power capacitor for when the big bass lines hit for quite a bit and the battery cannot take it.

Main amp that lights up with blue neons when turned on, Will neaten up the wires at some point but need a rest now.
