DodgerCannon Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Pink gripped 3" strips of 18mm to the roof.... had to kurf cut it to get it to bend. 18mm mdf cut to shape. Holes drilled through it for expandy foam. Jacked up to give a bend then screwed to the 3" strips then filled with 3 cans of foam. Started on the floor once the roof was in. Pink gripped 2" strips of 18mm to the floor to bring it up to level with the boot section. Pink gripped the flat boot section. Covered the floor with 1 and a half cans of foam and placed the mdf down and filled edges with foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgerCannon Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 put a heater in the car car while it cures Sealed up nice Got the second sheet of 18mm mdf cut and fit into place today. Roof is solid now so no need for Mr brill Edward to lie on my roof when testing lol. Only down fall is as I glued a strip to the middle, as the expanding foam expanded its pulled my roof down so I now have a wavy roof Covered in pink grip Trimmed expandy foam Sorry for the poor pic quality was done on my fone.

With no voltage drop. Yea you definately have voltage drop. I have 2 kinetiks as well. Your 1 yellow top over me isnt keeping your voltage up. Besides that my point was he is trying to run 6 SAZ-1500 off a 180amp alt. He needs a much bigger alt or 2. 2011 Subaru WRX Rockford Fosgate T1000-4AD (2) Sets of Rockford Fosgate T3 6.5 Components In the works: Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bdcp (2)DC Audio 12" XLM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
