Nice one. A bit of sound deadening will compliment it nicely.

Is the amp on the floor in the middle of the boot?

The amp is on the right hand side of the boot, why? :)

How do you find the C2's? I was looking at them and they sounded great, but just with no bass sort of annoyed me.

Nope, it won't affect the sound, just the usable boot space.

thats a really neat install. Im a fan of installs that still retain a semi stock finish. Yours has achieved that nicely
