JNells Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Great build my dude but if u don't mine what was the material you use on the a pillars Thanks bro! I used some perforated "faux leather" vinyl off of eBay. (Cloth backed) Unless you're using on a flat panel or surface I wouldnt recommend it... It was a total PITA to do those pilars and even tho it turned out ok, I would go with a stretchier fabric if I were to do it over again.

JNells Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 One pod down... Not extremely happy with the results but for my first time wrapping a complex pod and making grills it's decent enough. Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Both pods done Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Had to throw one of the pods in to see what it looks like. Obviously have some panels and trim missing in my car still but doesn't look too bad Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Speakers going in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Speakers going in? I was going to redo and upgrade the entire mids/highs system (I still might in the future) but due to time and funds I'm basically rolling with what I had for the front. Xxx comps.. Midbass in kicks, tweeter in sail PRVs in the doors. Re ctx1000.4 for amp but if/when I do upgrade I'll be going active with 4 channel(s) and more than likely crescendo pwx. (2 8" and 4 6.5") *the only reason I wouldnt stay PRV, and it's quite simple, the speaker terminals on them.. I HATE THEM!! Sound wise I couldn't be happier, but the terminals suck and connection isn't 100% secure. I've had to pull a couple out numerous times bc the connection wiggled loose.* Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I see... I thought the kick panels where being made bigger to house an 8" in there now. My bad thinking you where changing it all up now. I was hoping you where though. LOL That sucks about the speaker connections on the PVR's. That would drive me nuts.... Solder the bitches! lol Keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mn-mazda-guy Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nice build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got everything hooked up and am happy to say it's playing!!!! :) Still no alt or secondary batts, but I have the bass gain all the way down and since I have control of rca voltage via LC-1, I figured what the hell. And first impression holy shit.. I'm gonna love it! A whole lot of tuning in my immediate future, but at least it's on and everything powered up correctly. On that note, some pics of the kick pods now that they're installed and playing again. Sorry my car is a mess and I said screw putting all my interior/dash panels back on tonight.
