I decided to revamp the system again this year but before i post the new additions here's some pic of the previous set up.
I'm officially a member of Team Dynaudio and will be competing in IASCA and MECA.
My friend Russ at OCTAVE will again do all custom fabrication and installation , Check him out if you need any work done www.octaveonline.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/OctaveAudio

Here's one of the reasons for the revamp. The Brax Matrix MX4. 2 of these will be replacing the 3 Tru's. From the shipping box to the amplifier itself it just screams high end.
4 x 275 watts RMS
Serious headroom

The new trunk set up will highlight the fused distribution block and DSP.
Here's the enclosure for the DSP and distribution block.
As you can see it will mimic the styling of the subwoofer enclosure from the original build.
This time around the whole trunk will get wrapped in Alcantara. Here;s a couple of pics of the side panels.
Here's the side panels glassed up.

New amp racks
Undercoating spray and they are ready to go
Here's the trunk as it is now. It's starting to take shape. Next up is the tube for the amp rack.

Custom LED strands.
OEM BMW style quick disconnects for ease of removal in case of failure.
Next up was adding some reserve power. The orginial enclosure design took in account for the addition of the BatCaps on the side. Since we are revamping everything plus adding more amplification power it made seen to add them now.
