FD audio set-up pictures

anyone have pictures of an FD with a good sound system?
i'm talking about multiple subwoofers, custom boxes, fiberglass, and stuff like that integrated and clean

yeah i know its a sports car and audio equipment adds weight. but I like to cruise the FD. so SHOW and GO is what im aiming for. (also weight in the back = not so bad it could balance my fmic)

are those 4 12's?

how much did it cost you to fiberglass that setup(1st pic)? i like how clean it looks.
i was thinking about doing something simple like that with 2 L7's.

or go for something like 3 12's similar to the red one.

they are 10", like i previously said one 12" is more then enough. It cost me about $50 for materials, fiberglass is cheap its the resin and bondo thats expensive.

Here is mine. Had a shop do it for me. Nothing too special, but better than the Bose, in my opinion.

is that MDF with like a pleather overlay? i like the look of that stuff what is it?

so this is my reason for asking for pix and ideas:

currently i have: in a touring (removed all bose cause they went out)
1 alpine headunit (2005).. cda9835? - $200 when i bought them 3yrs ago
1 kenwood eq
1 electronic cross over
2 infinity 5.25 Kappas - front
1 100w PPI
1 200w clarion
a small mdf box with 2- 8" (sounds ok but no deep bass)

what im planning to do is:
take out the cheesy 8"s
take out Clarion because PPi uses less amps and is cleaner

to replace them I have:
1 mono Hifonics Brutus 1200w - $200
3 12" infinity references - $100total new
so i have about 100-200 for box material. not sure what to use.

want to cover full trunk space like mrhetrick. was thinking about using MDF to cover the top and front board between the towers, and then make a blackcloth screencover to maintain a lowprofile.

The design and formation would be a rotor, and i would port the box in the center to amplify bass, also makes a nice eccentric shaft looking hole. the crossover + ppi would be relocated to bored out cargo bins retaining the covers (stock look). and i would have class d amp attached to the removable plastic piece, by fabbing a mounting surface, or in the other cargo bin if it fits.

OR
I have the option of:
1)Trading the 3 12"infinities(new) for 1 12" L7kicker(new)
considering because i'm sure 1 good 12" is good for this car like purerx7 said. and the weight to noise ratio.

2)sell off one infinity for $50 and use it for box materials


opinions/suggestions?
my budget isnt too big, i just thought it'd be a fun summer project, using my brother's old sound equipment.. and i couldnt pass up buying inifity speakers for $30 each NEW

thanks for replying guys.
