Matt Schaeffer's 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
Items installed:
Installation Description
With the system, I first decided to make a fiberglass enclosure for the two subs and the amp. I made my fiberglass enclosure then installed the two subs and made the amp recessed in the box and made a cover for the amp which has the Mitsubishi symbol that lights up with 4 blue StreetGlow neons. The enclosure is painted pearl white with blue pearl to match the exterior of the car. I purchased the two Alpine sunvisor screens from Crutchfield and fiberglassed them into my sunvisors. I then upholstered them with some blue carbon fiber vinyl that I purchased. Everything else was a direct installation hook up.
