Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio Audio Setup Pictures

In an effort to clean up this mess we call the audio forum, let's post our photos of intallations here, it is a sticky and if anyone would like to see other's installs they can always come here to take a look. Saves you the hassle of searching, and saves everyone else the hassle of searching through "show me your systems!" posts while looking for a relevant post.

Links to you car domain sites and other links, as long as they lead to your install pictures are welcome too.

I'll remove any post whoring in this topic, and any questions about installs can be PMed, or taken care of in thier own topic. This is for picture whoring only.

If your images turn into a red X for a period of time, I will remove that post to keep the post clean and easy to look over.

Finally, although I don't care about the image size, some people get annoyed looking at a 1600x1200 image of your HU. Keep the size to 800x600 to keep things streamlined.

Have at it!

Here is my simple setup. I want to make a custom box, but I dont have the wood working tools There is still some finishing things I need to do still. Mainly trim the studs for the batt hold down. I want to build a amp wall on the side so I dont have it bolted to the floor like that but for now it works. Again I lack wood working tools therefor this is what I could do Hope you like it.

Just finished installing my setup in my winter vheicle
