sean 371 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 So I dropped $800 and picked up this really badass head unit from Pioneer. Putting it in the car is a bitch, part of the dash behind the radio had to be knocked out, and i had to modify part of the dash that slides over the radio. After cutting the dash cover, I placed the D3 mounting plate onto the radio, and then sandwiched the dash cover on top of that. Then I hotglued the cover and trim plate together. Then put in some cardboard damns and bondoglassed the gap. Pulled the damns and started sanding.... K here's the pics of the dash build: Dont worry its still far from done. I need some more sandpaper tho.

meade916 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Looks like you just used kitty hair.....you need to use something more flexible then that or or it will crack. It might also fall completely off one day while your bumpin because its a tough bond from that stuff to plastic. If it holds up, COOL....if not, hit me or Timay up for the good shit.

sean 371 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I did drill holes in the dash before I applied it, as sort of plug welds, and then kitty haired over the back of the holes too...But that was the second attempt, the first attempt cracked right off...I bodyfilled this and sanded it down, its looking better...If it takes a shit on me later on I'll hit you guys up for some real mud. This is lookin pretty sturdy though A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 hey bro i just got a tahoe last week so im checking out all your shit for some ideas......any updated pics of your dash? i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
