fnkngrv's Amp and Tube Install
Well after running the rear end of my audio system in a temp solution for a couple years I finally decided to finish things off. I didn't perform a DIY per se as I still only have my Blackberry as a camera, but I do have before and after pictures.
> I started off with the amp install by taking a slide bar from the hardware store and mounted it to the inside of the sidewall of my trunk. > I then used cardboard to come up with a fitment template for my mounting board. > I rerouted all my wiring to behind the new mounting board. > I then mounted my board to the mounting bracket after wrapping the board in carpet that I could find as close to the other color in the trunk. > I put the mounting board in place and screwed it down with one screw above the amp and one that sits under the amp. > I attached the amp to the mounting board and reconnected the wires. > Lastly I removed the cloth straps for my Bazooka Tube and installed the stainless brackets. Before:  After:

The "before" was tacky.
The "after" looks sweet! Nice and clean. Good job. Does that bass tube give you enough bass? ( I would have taken a totally different route, but I need more bass. )

I like what I have for bass. It is a deep and rich tone. I am actually bumping up I think to slave another 10 off the first one, but really I feel that with how I have my system set up I have very clean and loud sound when I want it. With a tube it generally fills your stage where as traditional subs give you more pound...kind of tough to describe unless you have experienced both in earnest. I have a friend that has 4 BTA's in his trunk of his G6 and it is pretty incredible, but then again he has a lot of wasted space that way and I prefer to at least have some room.

It is a BTA10200, the current gen is a BTA10250 for the sub...
Amp is an Alpine MRP-F250. I did have a PDX however I swapped with someone that needed the PDX more than I did plus with the swap that they gave me I could not pass it up...

Even tho the PDX series is spectacular the MRP series is very clean and has excellent clarity as well. I really don't feel like I downgraded per se.
