meade916 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 The bigger fans are pulling air from the chamber created below the tanks. It will make sense in a few more pictures. Time to tunnel-ram the air over the top of the amp chamber. 2 All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

meade916 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 the tanks had to be raised up and i used the top of the "tunnel" as a good spot to re-mount them. Threaded inserts always make for a secure attachment. as you can see, once air comes in from the vents from the triple fans, it goes into a chamber below this. This thing has the bigger fan which grabs the air, shoots it over the amps, and then out the other side of the car. It really works great! Trying to find the shape of the inside of the trunk. This is oldschool way of doing it but still works good 1 All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

meade916 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 This piece that was cut out actually goes back in and covers the plexi. I WILL have some usable trunk space when done. Not much but some! It should look super clean but have a few panels i can remove to show the goods when i want too In case you didn't notice, the ML system was relocated. It was in the way where it was. SIDE PIECES coming soon. I have a million things to do to complete this trunk but at least i am making progress!

meade916 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 ok guys, i have a confession to make. I was so excited about my trunk looking as good as it did, i failed to shut the trunk ALL the way before i took video, pics, and then took it all out and left for the day. The next day i put the side panels back in and then tried to shut the trunk. It only stopped short 8" LOL - WOOPS. The hinges do NOT hit, they pass through very smoothly.....but where the hinges attach to the trunk lid, it is really thick. I didn't pay attention. Anyway, the following pics are me averting disaster and re-doing them AGAIN. Hey, its days like this that can only make you better and sharpen your game! So it looks a little different but to me it looks just as good. I started out by shedding a tear and throwing my hat across the shop. Then i notched out the side panel, dropped it down about 2.5" and completely re worked it from the ground up. 1 All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
