custom audio setups

i would like to see some pics of yours guys custom audio setups. as of now i have 2 12" subs, but they are in a simply box. i am in the process of spending a lot of money for some mods(wheels, body kit can't wait! ). anyways...after all this i would like to do something different w/my auido setup. i have seen some really unique and nice ICE, and i would like to do something along those lines. just would like some ideas
also...i was thinking about switching to 10"s when i do so( 12s can cause some rattling ), what do you guys think about doing this?
one last thing...if you don't mind...could you also let me know how much some of your guys setup cost.
thanks.

Dude, ICE is a very well-known acronym for In Car Entertainment. You know, CD, MP3, DVD, TV, etc.

Here is a pic of my trunk:



I'm kinda lazy now, but I'll get back to you on all details if you'd like. How much did I spend...lol...let's just say I have a friend in the business.

Phat....

ACTUALLY,
ICE Stands for In Car Electronics. As refer to buy my Bro, who is a car stereo installer. the Ironic thing is he does not have that big of a system in his car I will put up some pics a little later. But florida, I gotta give my props to you on the setup, it is kickin'. Have you seen the one that the guy that was on here a couple of weeks ago with the 12 in sub with the stainless steel rack right about to hold the amp and had a mirror on the back part of the truck. Did it all himself. Pretty nice. I think I like yours better though cuz of the NEON. 1000 huh not to bad. What amp are you using to push all of those watts through?

Can anyone else see the pic?

To be honest, if I had paid retail I don't know. Probably around $5,000? That is including all the custom fiberglass work involved. And instead of carpeting, my guy sanded everything and painted with automotive-quality paint. The trunk work took longer way than expected. We spent alot of time "discussing" the trunk...

Actually I've had it metered once during the show at 136.3 which isn't too bad but like you said more into SQ especially with all the dound deadening in the car and the size of the cabin.

750?

Hey Nico is that a 750il? Or a 740? It looks like a 750 you did not put what it was in your sig so I was just curious. The setup is f***in' awesome. Love the NEON! Video is pretty cool too. Keep posting pics.

My system

I started planning this project on the computer in 3D Studio Max. I basically made my trunk to spec and put in all the amps to scale and started to figure out an amprack from that. I have a picture of the rendered file I will post soon. After all was ready I sent in the specs to a metal shop that could bend pipes. After I got them back I polished the pipes for too many hours to admit. I then had a welding shop weld the little tabs on to secure the amps to the rack. I covered my whole trunk in dynamat and got all the wires ran to the back. Over time with some help from my dad and a few friends I built all the wood pieces like the box, supports, sides etc. When it was all ready I upholstered all the necessary pieces and threw it all in. Here is the goodie list..

Electronics-
1- Pioneer Premier Dex-p1r for my head unit
1- Precision Power PC2200.2 for the back mids(200W)
1- Precision Power PC2400.2 for the front mids(400W)
1- Precision Power PC2350 Anniversary Series for the sub(1400W)
1- Eclipse 88150TiDVC 15" sub (Handles 1,500W)
1- Optima Yellow Cap Battery (750 Amps)
