CarAudioFab Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Well after a long lasting hiatus from the boards I am back with a vengeance to show some more of my builds. Here is what I am working on now: :cool: Amps on the left and right, Processor in the middle. The white plexi is going to be for wires to run through from the audio processor. The rest from the amps will go to the left and right of the amp rack. I need some opinions. I was going to wrap the entire assembly in black vinyl and do all the inserts under the equuipment in black suede but I am re thinking it. I am thinking about doing plexi under all three of the major pieces of equipment back lit red. My question is should I go that route and if so should I show the edges of the plexi or sink it in with the body filler / foam tape trick??? -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

BJD3 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Are you only looking for aesthetic opinions, or what? If so, I say flush it. The black suede/vinyl would be cool, but the first thing I thought of when you proposed that was the complete lack of color. Which is fine, but not something I generally like. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive. 2002 Buick Park Avenue DC Level 4 M2 12 D2 Car Audio Bargain 1600.1 Eclipse CD3200 ~2 cubes @ 34 hz. Stinger Roadkill Expert

Yeah, I think I am going to do mostly black vinyl with a small amount of black suede. The whole interior of the car is black suede on black vinyl so going to stick with that theme. The color will come in with the back lit plexi being red. Red is also the color of all the gauge clusters so I feel like everything should match nice and evenly. -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

CarAudioFab Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Posted November 13, 2011 Like my speaker adapter? Made it myself, flush trimmed the original shape and then circle routered the new speaker size. Here is some fiberglass laid on the amp rack, there are so many curves I only really need one thick layer and it is strong. -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!
