  1. And I'm trying my phone not on Pandora and just with music I have on it and its still quiet. Can it be my aux cable just not good enough? It's just a radio shack one that'd like 5 feet long. It's routed from my glove box to by be steering wheel.
  2. HTC inspire. I also noticed my lap top is the same way also though. Playing Pandora. I didn't try my lap top on itunes though.
  3. Does anyone know why phones play so quiet when you plug it into the headphones jack and is there anyway to fix that. Just to listen normally I have to turn the volume up past my distortion point and it sucks. Thanks
  4. when im all done setting the gain can i then move the freq settings and bass boost and whatever other setting are there? or do i have to leave them all the way up and stuff?
  5. please change this car... to this color.... cyber grey metallic you can even darken it some. i want it to look almost black at night. and if you can do one with flat black stripes that would be awesome
  6. ok so its just about done. just painted it a little while ago so it will be dry and good for last coat tomorrow and i will install. i have a couple pics for you uploading. i just had one problem and that is that i had no good solid way to hold the top in so i had to use 2 screws on the outside which sucks but like i said its all temporary. this was just a way to really experience fiberglass and bondo and just have some fun with it. it still sits on a little angle down but it still looks much better than how it was. so here it is. will have finished product tomorrow
  7. Yea I no some got wasted but I have an 8x4 sheet of material and a quart of resen. I still have a ton left. But yea should be done today. Was as hard as a rock this morning before I left for work.
  8. ok so far so good. i got 2 layers done and i think thats all im going to do. i no it looks like shit now but tomorrow i will get it cut up into shape and get rid or all the excess, bondo, sand, primer, and paint. i had to work on another car today so didnt get to this project till late and didnt have anymore time to play with it. so here are some pictures, let me know what you think but go ez on me, this is my FIRST experience with fiberglass and this is still a very raw stage of the project. thanks first layer second layer
  9. well like i aid this is just temporary until i make my center counsel. but i dontwant to do that till i paint the car and put in new carpet and everything. if it looks like shit im going to try again. this is FAR from a show car. it looks good in that pic but from close up its got its issues. but i think i can make this work. the whole template and bezel and cage will be wrapped together which will keep it all in place (with the help of some gorilla glue but im going to wrap everything and fill in any dead space before its covered. then if it doesnt look good i can then use bondo or other body filler and cover the whole thing, sand it, and then paint it. trust me, i do things the right way when its all said and done. thats why i spent over 900 bucks to have my headliner done when they found out the roof supports were bent and had to be cut out and put back. instead of just having a saggy headliner. this is project and far from finished, but it sucks because i drive it a lot and i dont have any tunes! i have a similar box design that zx10intn has for his trunk, but its all going to be hidden. same shape though, and a little smaller. im going to try it out tomorrow and see what happens. if its bad i have another way to try where i make a whole mold and everything and use wood supports and stuff. but we will see what happens. thanks guys
  10. well if you notice the bezel around the face plate is on an angle. and the top is pushed into the cardboard a little to help also. you cant really tell but in the picture with me just holding it up in the car the radio is almost perfectly flat. faces down a little but not very noticeable. and other than having to use quite a bit of fiberglass is there any other downfall to covering the cardboard. i mean you can make a cast of something from fiberglass with no other support inside it so why cant i use the cardboard just as a guide for the glass to harden around? it sounds like it makes since. maybe not, im not sure. but i think im going to try it out tomorrow.
  11. ok so after a little messing around i think i got it. but i have one question. i no it sounds dumb but can you fiberglass over cardboard? this is what i made and it would be nice to just fiberglass it how it is and not have to use thicker material like wood. and of course one of the car.
