that box is quite impressive. i really like the styling of it. are you making it yourself or do you have someone helping you.. also is it made for the specs of the speakers?
im still in the process of finishing my trunk, but i still have about 15 hours of break in time left on the speakers before i can fully tune them. the box i have is built to the speakers specs, heres 2 photos of the install as it sits now. please note the facials are not made yet, this is because im waiting to tune the box then we will make the facials.

This is the headunit, i like it but they are gonna have to fix the door that covers up the stereo to where it goes back in the console a little farther, if that doesnt work we are gonna have to just take it out completely

Actually the subs are Pioneer Premier TS-W126DVC
12" 1000W Dual 2/8-Ohm Subwoofers.... i thought we were getting pioneer but it was pioneer premier and we got Pioneer TS-A1671R 6 1/2" 3-Way 220W Front Car Speakers becuase we ordered 5 1/4 for the rear and never got front ones for some reason

i don't know why someone recommended you get a 4 channel amp to power the subs?!!! if its a 2 channel, you can bridge it and run the subs in parallel to get the most power out of it. IE. a pos terminal from one channel powers all the pos terminals on both subs (all + voice coils)

I'm pretty sure he's using the mono amp for the subs. The 4 channel, possibly bridged to the 3-ways?
I'd agree though, get some components. 99% of the time much better than a 3-way. Plus, you want to get 6 1/2's not 5 1/4's. You'll get a better midbass response from a larger driver, and 6 1/2's fit just fine in a tC.

Can I have a 400x4 amp?
That's be awesome...but I'd imagine wider than the back of a tC

Heres a picture from the back... it might look a little dirty and kinda wierd around the edges of the plexi glass but we can fix that. The plexiglass is pretty much just a cover for anything i want to put in there.... its also lit up but not in the picture
Heres another one but the camera sucks and made it looks almost black and white
Here is one with the seats up.... the amps are hidden behind the seats whenever they are up... they were kinda big so we couldnt fit them in the back
We still have to put plexiglass and a small fan over the amps so they dont overhead and do a couple other small things but overall its pretty much finished... we are also probably gonna switch to the Avic-D2 head unit so the door thing on the dash will flip down

looks GREAT bro! congrats and enjoy. I actually want to do something like that setup with my 2 tens. Give me a little trunk space.
Is one of those amps for comps, or one to each sub??
so theres a fan behind that plexi? and did u rip that scion emblem off the car???

The mono amp runs the subs and the other one runs the components
And tomorrow we are going to put a big square piece of plexi glass that is going to cover the amps that are behind the seat and cut a square in the middle of it to place a fan so they wont overheat and air can exit from the space.
My dad runs a car dealership so they had a few emblems laying around.... :-)
Tonight im painting the edges of the plexi glass black because when its up against the black carpet it shows up white and it looks like crap... ive already got one half of the side painted im just waiting for it to dry so i can finish it up

nice. little rough around the edges (ie. scion emblem doesn't look centered, screw holes in the plexi) but i'm being real nit picky here.
Thats def a nice clean install. Now all you need to do is swap out those pioneers and drop some beefier subs in there.
