Few pics of the completed system. Ghost lights will be done tomorrow. I am in the process of one more special touch to the trunk lining. It sounds amazing! Makes driving so much more enjoyable

I'm not a big fan of what some people do with filling out their trunks with audio systems but I have to say, that is a fantastic job.

All without too much loss in the trunk area. It actually looks more professional than some of the professional jobs I've seen.

Well done, enjoy your poker.

I got my MXQ box last week, & while it's great for the price, I noticed it doesn't have Bluetooth. That's the 1st one I've got without BT. So, sayin that to say, what'd you end up doing on that end?..

I agree with you Jimbov!

I hate woofers trapped in trunk, thats why i had to find a way to fabricate them inside the cabin.

Also I still want to throw a couple golf bags in the trunk and have access to spare

I appreciate all the feedback guys!

Hi Evan,
I like the work you are doing, it looks very good!

I have a question about the suede headliner, is it foam backed and did you remove all of the existing fabric, or lay it on top?
Thanks,
Alec

Alec! Yes the suede I used came with a 1/8 inch foam padding. I stripped the old liner fabric off completely. Also, you want to use a brush or spray gun to apply adhesive/upholstery glue. The Glue I used is called DAP Weldwood contact adhesive (Industrial Grade) Don't use 3m 77 or any spray can products it wont hold overtime.

Here are some shots of the finished trunk with Fiber optic Starlight Liner. About 400 stars. It comes on with trunk trigger. Also has a wireless remote so i can change color and theme, twinkle etc..

I think I may pull my headliner down again
