06 Kia Spectra5 Hatchback (previous work & current)


Recommended Posts

First off, I am new. I've spent many hours looking through builds on here and decided i might as well share mine. I know my stuff is nowhere near as nice as a lot of peoples builds. I'm a college student with a job so i don't have all the time/money to work on stuff like i want. I will post everything I can, including stuff that I've previously done. So, enough talking, here are things that I've done in the past. Enjoy.

These few pics are from when i built a setup for a Solo X 18. I'm normally not a fan of kicker but I got this one from a friend. Deal i couldn't resist. I didn't take many pics of the build apparently but here are some so you get the idea.

I painted the aluminum pieces around the surround and put the box in.

I later realized the port facing the front was an awful idea. After it was wrapped I faced it the other way and it improved drastically

This is my first fiberglass work I've ever done. Just got the idea and watched Steve do it so just went for it. :shrug:

So this is where my lack of knowledge started to screw me over. I didn't have enough depth on either pod to fit the speaker. Well i cut it and patched it.

because of the lack of time i wrapped the pods. Which was honestly a horrible and complicated idea but turned out decent.

And that's all the pics i have on that. I did all of this in two days so i was satisfied. Not perfect but I'll redo it sometime. Good for a first time practice.

hell yea i drive an 05 Kia Spectra 5 5 speed looking to see what you end up doing with yours

Sweet! I didn't think anyone else ever had one. haha It's my daily and only ride so I tend to not make anything permanent. But i have some other things to post that i'll get to tomorrow hopefully. I currently have two Sundown sa-8 v2's. I have more pics on that build.

Okay, so here is my current setup. Not many pics of the actual building part. Mostly just putting it together before i ever got the subs.

Sorry about the last pics. Lot of dust flying around the shop. Now here's the last thing I've done until i get more funds.

Now the final product. Didn't turn out like i wanted but mostly because of the carpet. Next time i'm not carpeting everything.
