c.director Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 First off, this is my first post, but i have been lurking for a quite a while. I figured I would post this up. Its not quite finished, but its all playing and sounds good for what it is. I know the equipment is very low end compared to what most people here use, but I did this for my brother for free, so no need to spend a lot. The Car. Start off. Got the rear deck out (its like thin cardboard) and set the speaker rings and glued spacers where needed. Stretched fleece, i'm by no means a fiberglass expert, ive just done it a few times. both done. First layer of fiberglass, over all took quite a bit, since im still on the home depot stuff ha. Ryobi 0ne+ system ftw. (the small holes are form the old 6x9's which are being relocated) More glass, and sanding. I must not have gotten a pic, but I only used body filler with hair, so it never was very smooth, but a lot smoother than pictured. and I filled in the gaps between the speaker rings and the old deck with fiberglass. Test fitting. Looking good Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/caleb.arnold.9809 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CustomAudioChannel?feature=watch
c.director Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 Box mounted up. Inside view. Both subs in in separate sealed chambers. Rear deck carpeted Back view Great Stuff is some shit! Getting the amp mounted 4 gauge to 8 gauge d-block. amp is an old alpine, 75x2 watts, 25 amp fuse. Stock carpet cut and back in, i will carpet the MDF and build a cover piece for the amp rack, but havnt go to it yet. Well hope this isn't a bad first post haha More: The subs look 'effin huge compared to the car! haha and a better pic of the deck before I carpeted it.

baaudio Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 That's a cool idea man. I've only seen this kinda thing a couple times. Did you just use great stuff to seal up the edges of the box? I'm on mobile so pics are kinda hard to see Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k
c.director Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 I agree, I havn't seen it pulled off very good before, I could have done a few things better, but i'm satisfied. the great stuff gapped the rear deck to the metal, i caulked the inside corners of the box. I then used resin to go over the foam. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/caleb.arnold.9809 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CustomAudioChannel?feature=watch
805HECTOR9 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 any videos of it playing?how does it sound?
Beanz Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Seems pretty legit man...why not get a bigger amp? That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
Redhaze Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 looks pretty clean nice install Just another lurker
c.director Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 any videos of it playing?how does it sound? No vids, I can get some. but I dont really have a good camera. Seems pretty legit man...why not get a bigger amp? I had the amp spare, its a good amp though, I would put it up against any 500-800 watt shit amp anyday.
