The details and the history:
When I bought this car, the first thing I wanted was a heavy subwoofer, and a way to hide it. Being that I have an XI, there's nowhere to hide anything. Since there are no stealth enclosures that maintain full trunk and backseat passthrough functionality, I realized I'd have to make it myself.

After a ton of research, I spent a pretty penny to have Audio Images in Burlingame build me a custom enclosure that replaced the battery cover in the trunk. It accommodated a shallow mount RD Audio 12" subwoofer. Hiding the RD Audio 1750.1 amp was another ordeal altogether. Because of the limited space in the undercarriage of the XI, there is no room for a spare tire, which meant the trunk pan under the floor access hatch was abnormally shallow. In order make depth, I modded it by cutting out one of the ridges and and forming an aluminum plate to seal the opening. Additionally, Audio Images made a thin riser (dark grey carpeted frame in the photo) so the floor panel would not rest on the amp.

When all was said and done (and about $2500 later), it came out suuuuper clean, and I managed to exploit a way-too-power sub without anyone being the wiser.
