    Default DIY Suitcase Sound System

    Well, its a work in progress just for fun. Its for the roof rack on my ACVW. I didnt really take pictures while going along, so if you have any questions thus far, just ask.

    Not to be a buzzkill, but wont the sub make the CD player skip?

    I like the idea, I often wish I had some decent portable sounds.

    That is awesome

    You should flip the deck though so the sub fires towards the roof - with it pointing straight up it won't be as loud.

    If it sprinkles the paper on the sub won't get ruined either.

    that would be a brilliant idea for a roof rack suit case on a wooded roof rack. put the head unit in the car and run a wire to subs on the roof
