06' Mazda3 Hatchback - 4500RMS - New Springs (No More Sag)


Recommended Posts

My uncle took a look at my doors and said I built them thicker and stronger then most body kits, ha ha, they are very heavy, but are nice and solid :D lots of work and time, learning many things that should make my next set of doors 1000% easier!!! no doubt

If you own a router be fortunate, its a pain to do them with a jigsaw, and they arnt perfectly round, but when the speakers are in they work just fine :D for these next pics I got sick of having the damn wires all over, decided to clean em up a bit, also ran 4 aux wires that are not hooked up to anything that I can use up front to switch stuff, just to have them run from the front to the back :D for fans and shit :D

Was going to paint these doors, but since they are my first decided to wrap em, my uncle helped me who has done it before, and taught me some stuff,, suede is hard as hell to wrap cause it has like no give, had to cut some excess away at the inner corner towards the bottom and them matched up the fabric, hard to even see it, turned out nice, still have to wrap the top parts now, going to do a red/black mesh for the middle part :D roof liner and all the pillars are next :D

Re wrapped the middle section, the 3m dinoc has issues in certain areas that are concave and where it gets really hot as it will start to reform and becomes lax when under a lot of heat, suede not so much :P

Last but not least, working on the rear trianglar window pillars, will have the speakers right in the corners of each of the rear passengers ears, ha ha, will fill in the sound nicely, will host a 5.25 QS and tweet each, oh boy do I have a killer idea for the sub box, should give me 9 cubic feet and 100 cubic inches of port with cup holders for the rear :D just wait till I draw it up, its going to be killer, may keep the CVX15;s for a bit with it and upgrade to dc level 4 or xls 15"s in the future, going to stay with the extreme power of 15's :D

Thats my baby, I have more pics to upload of a few more things I did, I work on it every few days of the week, have put tons of hours into this car and from my heart, I love hearing all music, and listening to classical pieces are a high in it self, cant wait to get the subs ready and done :D dubstep makes your brain turn inside out in this thing.

There are a lot of things that I didnt get pictures of, such as doing the body filler for the rear doors and things like that, but trust me, it took a lot of time, but was well worth it!! lots of time getting fitments and just sanding and shutting the doors, thanks for taking a look, will get more pics up of other things :D

If you noticed from older pics, all the crossovers are gone, they actually caused issues with impedance rise and the amps cutting out, I removed them all, and I have a true bi-amped setup with a 3 way crossover, no more cutting out no matter how loud, and sounds amazing, they will make your ears beg for you to turn it down, as you yell in this car and you can not hear your voice, its sick, probably killing my hearing though, ha ha

Oh and eventually someday I want to get a train horn for this beast, have room left in the spare tire wheel well for an air compressor :P but that is last priority and probably over 1-2 years off
