JNells Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 Box is in, deadened and sealed with foam Backside foamed and sealed off.. Used a cardboard tube as a conduit for all my wiring. Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 started getting the mids/highs wiring done. All SHCA 14g. This is just the drivers door. 3 runs for each front door And speaking of wiring a little sneak peek at one of my custom distribution blocks Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 Wiring for front doors and center console (remote wires and led wires to switches) ran and zip tied into place. Made sure to label all the wires pre hand bc otherwise with this, I would have no fucking clue lol Malibu Build Log
bcbrassard Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Looks neat and organized. Be careful bunching to much wire up or there will be a big bulge in the carpet when you put it back in.
JNells Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 Looks neat and organized. Be careful bunching to much wire up or there will be a big bulge in the carpet when you put it back in. I tried to keep the wiring routes along factory wiring and bulges, so if there are bulges in the carpet I can just trim the factory foam on underside of carpet (carpet underside has a form fit foam). I also didn't want to run them on the ground to be stepped on or soak in moisture, and I couldn't just run it all down the center due to the way the center console Mounts and sits. But thanks for the feedback, always appreciated! Malibu Build Log
bcbrassard Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Ya i forgot about the foam under the carpet. I had to trim mine also to get it to lay in there properly. I like the mounting on the wall vs floor. I tried to spread mine out flatter and used duck tape to keep them in place. Not the pretties but once the carpets in your the only one to know. Keep up the great work. gonna be killer when you done!
JNells Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 More progress on the inside.. Carpet cut and glued into place *haven't completely glued the edges of carpeting next to box, but gonna wait and mask off the box so I don't get any overspray. Malibu Build Log
bcbrassard Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Hell ya man! another step closer.
JNells Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Distro blocks came in the mail.. Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Got a little progress done this weekend, but was too cold to stay in garage for more than an hour at a time. So with that I've decided I'm just going to get it playing, and then make the trunk look "good" with beauty/trim panels once it warms up. the cabin side of the box is pretty much finished anyway, so who cares what the trunk looks like for a few months. Basically waiting on batteries and alt and it should be up and running Contemplating hooking the 4 channel back up so I can at least have some louder music... Kicker 6x9s on deck power just isn't cutting it lol Malibu Build Log
