Normvilla Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 this is turning out to be a very nice build. Makes me wish I had more money to throw around lol I like the amp placement, I have thought about doing this when I get my mids/highs amp... hopefully the really small fosgate amps Thanks. I might have spent 200 bucks so far lol this stuff has been collecting dust for a while. it's a really good spot when you don't care if you can see it or not. It's like a ninja amp hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normvilla Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 well i managed to get some more work done today on the brick. it was pretty hot outside today so i didn't get as much done as i would have liked. But even a little progress is still progress lol first thing i had to do is smooth out the inside of my spare tire plug ( i guess thats a good name for it lol) so after a couple coats of fiberglass reinforced body filler to build out the low spots, i gave it a coat of rage gold, the first of many lol and after a couple coats i have this lol next i had to figure out how i was going to mount it to the spare tire so after thinking for bit i ended up using a couple nutserts in the plug and some 1/4-20 wingnut bolts with a couple fender washers heres the nutsert in the panel, sorry the pic is so crappy heres a pic of the back of the spare with the plug installed (i left another one of the bolts there just so everybody can see what im using ) next will to be to mount the capacitor and figure out how i'm going to mount the spare tire to the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normvilla Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I only got to work on the car for 20 minutes today but something is better than nothing lol here's the capacitor i'll be using It's never been used hahaha i bought it brand new many years ago and it has been sitting on a shelf ever since. but i figured this car could use it since i'm not going to be spending all sorts of money on electrical upgrades. that will be for my next project here's the cap installed in the spare. doesn't look to bad and i haven't lost an once of trunk space, just using wasted space heres a possible trim ring i might use, i'm not sure so i'm going to get the amp rack going before i make a final decision so hopefully i can get some work done on the amp rack this weekend and get some tunes bumpin' out dis brick hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingleo Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 This build is bringing back childhood memories. My dad had a 240 gl. I wanted that car so bad. It's awesome to see a build going in with a car like this. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/77708-2002-millenia-system-re-build/page__view__findpost__p__1070977__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110130-2000-acura-integra-gs-4-door/page__view__findpost__p__1536749__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normvilla Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 managed to work on the brick most of the day today. to bad it was 6,000 % humidity out today hahahah oh well back to the brick. todays fun was to get the amps mounted, wired and playing today. i really need to hear this thing today and it would be nice to be able to drive it again. i figured i would go old school with the amps (doesn't hurt that i already had them so they don't cost me anything either lol) for those that don't know thats a MRV-1000, MRV-400 and the amp cap that goes with those amps its crazy that i have had this thing in my storage room for so long, its probably worth a couple bucks, im guessing its pretty rare now next i cut a piece of 1/2" MDF out for an amp board and drilled all the holes i would need to wire up the amps here i am getting silly with wire ties. I like my wires neat what can i say lol after all the wire cleanup was done i mounted the board to the back of the box. almost done with wiring. now onto the bastard of tight space that i created...the capacitor bowl, i guess that's it's name today lol it was a real chore trying to keep the power and ground wires stacked in a way that makes them look somewhat clean. but after a couple different options i found one that worked and keeps the wires from looking like spaghetti. here she is all wired up and ready for some testing this brick hits pretty hard hahahaha definitely a lot more than i thought it would and it goes pretty low for a small sealed box. i have a quick video i'll post on here later.
