scooter99 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Here you can see the traced line. The rest is pretty much basic. Pulled the foam down, and then cut the line! So now this basically gives me a template to go off of. This gives me about an inch and a half on either side before the trunk arms and that will allow plenty of room to build my custom trim pieces on the arm itself. Remember I have an amp going up there and I have to have two 4ga power wires, a remote wire, and two sets (4 ch) of rca's going up the other side. SO I'll have to put those up the trunk arms and then build or fiberglass a trim panel to go over them. At this point I'm going to scrap the braces and go a different route. After thinking about it, and deciding to go ahead with the actuator idea, that I'll need the bottom of the drawer exposed. So what I'll do is use this template for the top plate as well as the drawer bottom plate. So I'll take this and make a half or 3/4" plate and then have a couple of sides mounted to it for the drawer slides. Then to anchor it to the rear deck I'll use threaded inserts, and bolt down from the top. That way I can take it out if I need to without destroying the wood, although it'll be a bitch to do with that custom deck up there. But it's the best way and I'm gonna have two amps up there so there will be some weight to it, and I don't want to worry about it pulling loose. So some hurricane nuts from the bottom, and some screws or bolts with washers from the top should do the trick nicely. Then on the bottom I'll do the actuator in the center so that it can move freely and not bind. I'll then build a cover piece for the front so all you'll see is the trim piece. When it's closed you'll only see that and the sub enclosure trim piece will butt up to it. When opened, in order to see under it, you'll have to get down and look up. Not worried about that. So there it is for now. Gonna work on building the drawer maybe this weekend. I doubt I'll have time this week. I am, however, going to try and do a couple of things that need to be finished this week. Hopefully I'll have time. Thanks for tuning in, that's it for now. Still waiting for someone to pick this stuff up so I can get my tablet and components! Check it out!

scooter99 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ok, I'm waiting to transfer the rest of the money from my paypal account to my bank account, takes 3 or 4 days, then I'm buying all this stuff.

S15_Silvia Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 The way you dealt with the port/flip down panel behind the seats has really inspired me for my own build. I just hope whatever my next vehicle is has back seats that fold down the same way. 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

scooter99 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ok so here's the final list of things for the tablet project: Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet 32gb WiFi Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Docking Station Samsung Galaxy Tab 30pin Vehicle Charger Samsung Galaxy Tab with HDMI port out Gefen HDMI to Composite Scaler Mini Box M2-ATX (160W) Intelligent Automotive DC-DC Car PC Power Supply Gepco Digital Coax Cable Firgelli 2" Mini Linear Actuator There's the list. Lots of fabrication, due to having to relocate the HVAC controls, most likely loosing the Vent, and moving the other things. As well as making a 10.1" tablet fit in the OEM head unit location. I'm waiting on some final wiring confirmations over at MP3Car.com but it's all pretty much a go!

scooter99 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 At the time, last year, I had read really good things about it and got a new one at a great price. So I jumped on it. I just never installed it. I wouldn't mind a viper but I have this now, so I don't know if I'm gonna worry about it or not.

scooter99 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!! I'm very very exited about this! Check it out! Straight from Best Buy, man their getting cheap. They don't even use good bags anymore! YA Baby! Part 1 of the "Tablet Project" is here! Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 32gb WiFi. All they had was White but that's ok, when it's in the dash, it won't matter cause you won't see it! This will give you an idea of the size of it. Such a little package with such a big price tag! And there she is! Plastic film still on it! I'm not going to unwrap it now, I'm at work. I'll play with it tonight or tomorrow and get it set up etc. Not much in the box, power cord, adapters, usb cable, booklet, and some headphones under the booklet. Like I said, small package for a big price tag! So there you go. Part 1 is here. Next up, I'll have to get the card paid down with paypal money, and then get the rest of the parts: dock, media tab, car charger, converter, and the power supply that I end up using. I think I'm going to still use the same one, M2-ATX, but I'm also looking at a couple others as well. That's it for now!

scooter99 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Ok so I got the Tablet out a little before I had to come back to work tonight. I got the charger out, wall charger that is, and started to think about it and I said "self, if this charger for the wall takes the usb cord, and the car charger takes the usb cord, then why would the voltage be any different here than there." So out came the DMM and the charger, and I took a little test. This is what I came up with! Not sure why I needed 2 views but I took it! So 5v for charging it is! Just thought I'd share that.
