Have managed to squeeze in an hour on the Senator today. Have cut out the false floor for in the boot and positioned where I would like the amps to go (subject to change obviously) I still need to do the framework for underneath which will give me the clearance needed for all the cables and distribution blocks etc. The four 8" woofers I will be running will be in 2 seperate boxes approx 0.5 cuft each, in an iso config, tuned to around 35hz. The boxes will be in the spaces left and right either side of the Titan amp. All will be trimmed in grey carpet. I have also deadened one of the doors. I wasnt going to go this far as was only going to do round the front speakers but thought what the hell....

I like them. Are there going to be some lights in there to give a little more bling?

looking good there buddy. A couple of small lights would look good in there, although using the same amount of lighting as what I supplied to Chelsea would be over kill.  :lol:

Have finally managed to get the old exhaust off today after much delaying. The problem I had was that the bolts had been rounded off on the joints on the cats so had to drop it all down as one piece. need to get the angle grinder out tomorrow and cut the bolts off from the rear side of the cats as have got new centre sections and backbox to fit

Should have consulted our resident Health and Safety expert first. Chaz would have told you what precautions to take :D

Sounded crap tbh.  Well again slow progress. Only managed an hour yesterday to trim false floor. Amps will be screwed down on top and all the cables will be hidden underneath.
