where are you located?

I actually just checked the buttkicker site. They are $109 there.

I ordered mine online - I paid $85 + shipping.


What kind of substage do you already have?

so you already have a really nice setup - which is perfect as its a supplementary component, not a sub replacement.

the only problem i could see is you wouldn't have the ability to tune separately from your subs.


If you ever find yourself in Durham, let me know and I don't mind demoing it.

Thanks! I'm happy with how everything is turning out. The trunk is clean and I retained a lot of useable space (considering there is four amps, two subs, a big box, and a second battery in there haha). The front stage is just like I wanted too.

It will be completely finished in another few days. I'm anxious to get tuning and actually use it!

No, you don't want to know haha.

If you were to go to a shop it'd be a 4-6 day install (most shops would charge $50-80/hr).

Fabrication of the mid enclosures takes a while on its own.
multiple enclosures for subs and battery
multiple false floors to achieve a flat trunk while hiding all wiring.
all seat, doors, and trunk panelling removed and reassembled to allow for dampening etc.
8 drivers and a bass shaker
and much more.

its a lot of work, that's for sure!



thanks for the compliments everyone! I will make sure the pictures keep coming, there is still work to be done.
I'll try to get a vid when its all up and running too (it absolutely wont do it justice through a camera mic, but it will be fun nevertheless)

just found a pic I forgot to post.

this just shows the first of two false floors.

it provides the PRS-A900 's a flat mounting surface and a the ability to hide the RCA's.

its obviously not completed - those wires will be cleaned up, and the opening closed off.

the full trunk finished shot i posted earlier shows what this looks like with the second of two floors on.
