agree with Kurt standard kit isn't too bad.

All my other cars I have upgraded though, very easy to do, depends what you want. Back in the day had components, 6x9s, subs and all sorts, was really good bit boring now, but sounds fine!

Not quite sure at the moment as im in 2 minds of selling it, as theres a lot of stuff and the box we designed ourself to support the right volume in the box to get a really deep tone, it is a completley sealed enclosure... with 2 Perfect 10s Infinitys and a Brand New 2800W Vibe MonoBox 4 Amp running them over Parrelell wiring changing it over to series soon... i cant find the forum link as a lot has been removed it hink... well in the technical section...i will try and post later on tonight as i will get the pictures off my phone...

OK! Just to give you an idea on perfection and build quality, so i chose 3/4 inch wood of medium density fibre board as we need strength! although i find that you could use 1/2 inch but for the angles i used to build it to fit in as snug as possible!



Some of shall i say most of the angles were done with the angle saw to get as near to the angles as possible..



My Measurments were great and worked well for the fitment of the back panel to the fiesta..due to which it still gives you access to the spare wheel



God looking at these pictures, just brings back the blood sweat and tears we put into and this was in the cold weather!! now all the joints have been screwed in nicely by pre drilling the hole and sealing the edges with wood glue then sealing the enclosure with sealant.



Just incase you wonder what that lip is the shape of the box we wanted to get as much volume inside the box working all of the measurments it took or felt like it took a lifetime!



Adding this bevel to sit the Infinity Perfect 10s to sit in not only looked awesome it gained me a little bit more volume and distance from the sub vents, yay!



This is a shot with the two bevels in i think they look sweet, we had the spare wood so we went ahead with it!



For Strength and sound we reinforced the box with custom made box struts to channel the air from the enclosure!



Another shot from the beveled sub hole



And from the top, please not the top lip that bit we did at the end and sealed it up! its not shown on the pictures aprt from the last one carpeted up, it sits underneath the shelf.



When the amp came from vibe look at the size of the bloody box!



This is what it looks like without the carpet i think it looks pretty neat.



Close up of the subs and the amp..



These are some shots of the box without the struts inside, this was just put together you rubber hammer the stuts in and seal and screw them in..







This is how it looks without the carpet and just checked dimensions etc etc...



This is the unit carpeted i was wondering to attach a vipe blackbox 2 for my 5 by 7s in the cra but havnt got round to putting it on yet! still if i sold it i would do it for the whole package really...as i did a lot of research into what i was gonna use values etc etc...



This is the final product! what you think? The wiring is MASSIVE! also would be inlcuded but its vibes high gain wire with cutt off switches for fuses etc and a snap switch by vibe too!

My plans were to hide the wires away from the front box you could drill inot the box and hide them that way but i decided i was worn out and kept it as it is.. so this is it really lot of blood sweat and tears mate, hope it gave u some ideas of the work into making perfection practicality and sound quality...
