Equipment for now

-Pioneer headunit

-Reference Infinity Amplifier

-Memphis Street Edge Subs

-2 sets of Skar components

 

There isn't much Skar, but by the time I am done I hope to have Skar amplifiers and subs to go along with the speakers. I'll try to update this whenever I get something done.

Everything the component sets came with.

The old Xplod door speaker

I used the old speakers to help cut out a 6x9 to 6.5 adapter out of mdf

The crossovers wired and screwed to the back wall

Tweeters

I had the tweeters screwed in the a-pillars and it looked alright but I figured I'd fiberglass them so they would  look better. That will be done once the kickpanels are finished

Glassin' The Kicks

The parking brake is going to make it  a bit harder on the left side

Had to peel a lot of the tape off, it all stuck to the fiberglass.

I wised up and used some cooking spray but it didn't help it from sticking to the tape.

Both molds done

Hot glued it to the mold and trimmed it

Wrapped it in an old t-shirt, but little did I know that the resin jelly would not soak through the shirt. It stuck to the shirt and nothing else, so I peeled off the fiberglass that was stuck to the shirt and glassed it to the mold.

Body filling time

After sanding and filling a few times I was somewhat satisfied with the smoothness there were a few small marks. It looked alright so I primed it.

Got the right kickpanel painted and put in. It looks alright for my first fiberglass job, could be better I guess.

I have a feeling I wont get much sound with that tweeter covered like that, but we will see once it is hooked up.

Whoohoo! Skar Sk-800.1D came

Since I got the new amp I decided to clean it up a little bit

Still a few loose wires and the bass knob still needs to be mounted, but it is much better than before.

Been slacking off on the a pillar tweeter pods but hopefully those will be done soon. I'm starting to also not want the kickpanels because the tweeters are somewhat blocked and I cant use the parking brake, and I found out that I need to put the parking brake in place to compete. For a spot to put both speakers, I was thinking about fiberglassing the door panels. I also might have to rebuild the box so its under the window-line. But for now I gotta put car audio on hold somewhat because summers here.
