Air ride suspension and car audio set up

[simons68ss]

Does anyone have any experience in setting up an air ride suspension system and then putting car audio including subs in a box in the back of a car. We are early stages in a 68 PT camaro build up with air ride and trying to figure out placement for the car subs and the air ride unit in the trunk. Any ideas or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

What is it exactly you want to know? Are you trying to hide all the pieces or show them off? Is the trunk floor stock or modified?

I put 1 tank and pump on each side

I did both tanks on one side and the compressor on the other. The big sub I moved to my daily driver, probably just going with an 8w-something for this car. Not like it matters since you can't hear **** with the top down anyway.

LOL thanks guys. Its not a trailer queen but will be shown a little and weekend driver for a while. will be looking for a bit of show and tell so we will keep it nice clean and dressed up. thanks for sharing Mitch, looking at potentially putting the sub/s up against the rear wall and porting through, and then maybe dressing up the ride tech and showing it a little in more of the center of the trunk. the trunk really won't be functional when were finished is my guess and i'm okay with that.

Nice Chuck, i bet i'll have to crank them to to hear anything LOL

If you like to or want to play with fiberglass, you can mount a sub in each side "pocket", then mount your amps in the middle, and the air suspension components up against the seat. Build some nice covers and it'd look great, polish your tank up.

nice idea Mitch,
thanks !!

Look into soundstream picaso nano amps. They are pretty good quality and the are TINY. You can mount more then 3 of them in the size if one of my 4 chan amps.
