onebadmonte Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Okay, little update today. I'm wrapping up the front stage today by getting in my kick panels. Here is the drivers side. These fit nice but I still had to tweek them a bit to get them to fit right. First I had to trim back the leading edge of the hood release opening to clear the handle. Secondly I trimmed round the pivot opening. It was too tight around this area to get the panel seated properly. Lastly here is the passenger side kick panel in place. The wires for the front stage have been run as well. Getting there.

onebadmonte Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 your not gonna paint the kicks? and the driver side kick is a bitch with everything thats goin on over there lol The dash is a two tone grey. the lower portion being light grey and the upper porting being a dark grey that matches the kick panels. I like the way it looks, it blends out of sight when you're sitting in the truck. Nice baffles on the doors. Mid-bass would be much better with some sound deadening and strip that cheap plastic off of the door. Thanks. I'm going to get everything going first and play some music through the system. Then I'll know exactly what areas need attention. I'd hate to go willie nillie with the sound deadener if I don't have to. It's a little more work this way but only the spots that need tending to get it. Nothing more nothing less.

Thanks. Right now I'm at solid 17mpg when I drive this thing to El Paso. I'm hoping to get this done for my next trip out there. Then we'll know what the damage really is.

onebadmonte Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Okay, by now you've realized this is taking forever. Well here are a couple of things I did in the name of progress. Thank God, the box effing fits. Just enough between the box and the barn-door for a loaf of bread. Here is the reason why I picked up a hundred pounds of box. That's a pair of 3/4" bolts holding down the drivers side port. It's not much, but it's something to keep minor situations from turning major. I would have like to use two bolts for the passenger side, but I had the rear a/c lines in the way where the second bolt would have gone.

onebadmonte Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks fellas. Well here is a mini update for the sake of progress. I'm adding a carpeted layer of mdf to the port side of the box to mount the amp. Here are my boards. No carpet on the backside. Just enough to wrap around the edge and a little extra to make a land for the staples. The black screw is what came with the amp for the mounting rail. I wasn't too impressed with it so I'm going to use a 10-32 and washers. In the wood I'll use a matching threaded insert for wood. As for the black specks on the wood, you caught me. This used to be my welding table. Yes I welded on wood. No biggie, my frayed jeans caught on fire more than the wood. o_o Here is the whole setup with the hanging rail in place. Test fit with the amp. Sorry for the blurry pic. Kind of tough to focus, hold and snap a pic with one hand, while the other props up the 60lbs amp assembly. Here are the boards secured on the box. Each board is held in with 12, 2-1/2" drywall screws. The reason I did this is the two boards make a nice little channel for me to run the power cables out of sight. This amp has it's power locations at an odd location, front, center, and offset towards the top. This way I can run the cables up over and back down the backside, out of sight, right through the floor to and battery bank. One more thing off the things to do list. and Warhorse vs A Pair of SMDeez build Olds Cutlass Cierra IB build 2 Fi IB3 18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
