Default DIY ICE install

Just going through some old photos and and came across these
I started out by using dynamat all over the floor and then cut a out piece of MDF using the boot carpet as template. This went down ontop of a thin sheet of polystyrene and cut and hinged to allow access to spare wheel. Then 2 2.5 X 1.5 wooden laths run on top from the back seat to the rear panel, this lets the all the cables in under the subbox, acts as support for the subbox and provides the platform for the false floor. I used a router to cut out the inset for the glass and lots of marking and measuring for the side panels for a perfect fit. The back edges of these side panels are bevelled / sloped to allow then fit right into the wheel wells. I wired the neons off the original boot light so they only some on when boot is open. Interior I have 4 Pioneer mids and focal componements/tweaters, Pioneer head unit. Hope you like.

Friendly advice mate, i wouldn't bother, unles its a BIG batcap.
They are useless, cause voltage drop rather than helping to keep it stable and can make your amps clip the signal a tad
