BEWARE..... or you'll end up like me. :lol:

Joerg; nice to see those amps will rock again, I'm only not a big fan of mounting amps on a enclosure... :hmm:
I've seen too many amps mounted like that, killed by vibrations I guess.
I hope Thomas and you will secure that enclosure to the car btw; GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN installing!
Will be watching this...... :wink:

Don´t worry Nico! The amps are not mounted on the enclosure. They have their own rack to go on. And all the stuff will be made safe for sure! We have to pass thru a traffic safety test with this system after it is done! A guy from our local DMV will have a look at the system if it´s street legal.

Well here are some more pic´s of the install. We finished the doors today.

My kind of install! More pixies please, more! M O R E ! ! !

God I love those 2125's, I even cried a little when Nico briefly mentioned me he sold those puppies not long before I showed up there...

In hindsight though, it's prolly for the best, I'm poor as it is at the moment anyway, and by the looks of it they got a really good new home.

So grats on them amps, and enjoy when the build is done :thumbs:

that chipboard expands and then turns to dust when it gets wet. Be sure to coat it with some fg resin top and bottom and you should be ok but I would probably just copy those pieces to mdf myself
