I think the phrase ' shotgun the front seat' would no longer be used by my mates if i had that!
Tis a good idea, get it finished and see if it actually works. And what is the point of 3 amps in the boot? I always though 1, maybe under the front seat is enough, especially for 1 sub!

Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

That does look quite dangerous! Hope you don't plan on any passengers, would probably hurt male organs in that position
What about the thump affecting steering and car control too

Ive taken that into account by using rubber spacers to absorb some of the vibratations when fixed into position, have also welded a strengthener to the tubular frame to suport the fibreglass box so hopfully there won't be much getting through to the steering colum we will find out..........
also the levels from the amp to the sub can be adjusted from the head unit up/down, so when im drivn day to day it will be lower with the sub up front dont think i'll need to crank it as high, When show'n off i'll give in a go and see how it performs, and re-think if i need to.
not long until it will Probably be in the adds section, once i get board of it and start something different.......

Surely you could cuts the amps down to 2, a 4 way for the speakers and 1 monoblock for the subs. could even cut it to 1 amp with the right amp.
Overall looks good, would be worried about security.

Thanks for that suggestion Percy, But that would be to easy
the amps are all 2 channels, so it would mean having to replace the ones i've got, ££££
Before u say it (you could sell them) yes i could but they are good amps and look the dogs.

If you already have the amps go for it, I use to run 3 amps in the same way you mentioned, always good in the way if one amp goes down you aren't silent.
The sound won't be too much different but it will be interesting to see how the dash copes with the vibrations.

Just because I keep talking about definetly doing it doesn't mean I'm actualy going to do it.
