Nice Forstner!

Thanks!

Bought a whole set and have used them multiple times. They really get down! Had to do this hole very carefully so it didn't blast through the whole trunk lid... :o

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

That 404.... :droolcup:

The Art series...there simply isn't a better looking amp out there.

I really dig the fact that the artist behind that famous paintwork (Carolyn Hall Young) still communicates with audio people on FB and still gets tons of compliments on them 20yrs later.

Test fitting some thin MDF on the trunk lid liner which I used as a template since it already fits on the trunk lid perfectly.

834-lid%20fab_zpsmpsopzdf.jpg

Re-installed the liner and prepped to add some resin to the carpet to strengthen it.

835-lid%20resin_zpsxck19ef6.jpg

MDF panels glued in with some supports.

836-lid%20fit1_zpstmry1kyz.jpg837-lid%20fit2_zpstzvh1htv.jpg

Some holes for threaded inserts to screw the amps into. Didn't want normal screws to strip out the MDF.

838-drill%20hole_zps5ikibp47.jpg

Cutting access holes in the back of the liner, for wiring.

839-access%20hole_zpsckuobtut.jpg

Close up of the wood filler pieces around the panels, so I don't need a huge amount of heavy body filler which would make the panel excessively heavy.

...yes I added some fiberglass tape to the liner which didn't stick very well to the resined carpet... <_<

No worries, it call came together very solid. :good:

Exactly, Carolyn actually doesnt live very far from you or my self. Santa Fe NM. I love hearing her stories of the days when she worked with PPi and Xtant.. I have minty A600 too pretty damn clean and a100.

Have you seen any of the "full art" out there? Ill see if I can grap a pic.

First layers of body filler on the panel, test fitting on the trunk lid.

I left open the handles on the lid that you use to grab and lower it. After thinking that that area would be difficult to wrap in vinyl, I decided to just cover them up.

Looking Nice wicks! I'd have to say I bet you could pack the shit out of a suitcase with everything you have stuffed in there , I have my 323I so I know there really isn't that much space in those

That is a nice A404 don't see the Arts in that shape anymore , I have a couple I'm looking refurbish but I just don't know how to get the Art back other than airbrush it myself but then its just not the same

Dude, there is a LOTTTT of stuff packed in this tiny little trunk. Wish I had more room to play with...

Still usable...if I can ever get the trim panels done.... <_<

You have a 3-series so you know exactly what I'm talking about. :drinks:

Yeah, mint PPI Art's are really hard to come by. Sooo worth the wait though.

WHOA, I don't think I've seen those before. Limited run?

I've seen some custom colors other then white, but never a "full art".

Dig it! :good:
