'05 Ford Escape Limited *SKAR AUDIO BUILD*


Recommended Posts

box is all put together now not pretty yet, its almost fully sealed up. Just have to go over it with some more PL and make sure I didn't miss any spots and go over it all with resin. Probably going to go with a nice textured black paint for the finish, with a routerd out flush finish for the subs.

I got a used set of door panels I haven't really touched at all yet so I've slowly started taking those apart to start the build on them, just going to go with a simple plate like design to keep it simple, not really sure on tweeter placement yet

^ thanks buddy.

I wish I was building an explorer with a v8 or something instead, little tougher truck, I wouldn't feel so bad abusing it with the weight. lol

Small update

Grabbed a 5 gallon tub of resin for the box and the door build, if anyone in the GTA is looking for resin for their build hit me up i know a great place at a crazy price.

More pics soon, the box kind of looks like shit right now in the stage its in so I haven't taken any lately, once i think its a little more worthly I'll be sure to update you guys

Changed up the head unit to the kenwood ddx719, got a crazy deal on it so I figured it would be good with the reverse camera which will be going in shortly as well.

Ended up pulling out all of the little 1" risers I had on the speaker rings, the middle and far speaker wouldn't clear the seat so I just pulled them out looks alot better without them IMO.

Also having trouble finding a stretchy enough suede material for the door pods, if anyone knows of a place local or anywhere that will ship to Canada please let me know here or PM
