This use to be mine... never got around to finishing it... was going to hide all the wires and carpet the floor...

My stealth shelf... Home made... (the amps are set up differently in this one)

2x 12" 600w Kenwood subs
2x 400w Fli Bridged amps
4x 320w MOS 6x9"
1x 400w Kenwood amp
Power cap

Pushed a decent 131.5 DB at half power...

The Cav boot is MASSIVE!!!! Loads of potential!!!!

131.5db maybe, but did it sound good? Too many speakers, too close together.

Personally I have built systems for friends etc and I always go for OEM locations for speakers, keeps the theiving scum at bay..

Have old school Magnat Bulldog components in front of mine and yet to do much else as money tight but plan on custom fitting 6x4" in rear stock locations.
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Sounded mint!!! But I only had 1 set of 6x9s running... As you said, too many speakers...
Componants are much better!!!
