Decided to wrap the door pods after the wife left for school. I used the 4-D Carbon fiber adhesive backed vinyl I had previously bought for the previous set of door pods. I grabbed my heat gun, pulled off the backing of the vinyl, and went to work.

You can see that damn cigarette burn in my seat from yesterday >:( so pissed!! The seats/carpet and rest of the interior were in damn near perfect condition other than needing a good vacuuming.

I'm satisfied. Much easier to stretch over the edges and corners when that heat gun is aimed at it, but I need a third hand to make it easier.

Love the carbon fiber look really cool and gives it a sleek look!!!!

Thanks man. I like it a lot too. Gives the panel good contrast

Thought I'd take a quick video on my way home tonight. One day I'll find a good spot to park and get a full video tour.

Welllll just pulled the trigger on my first order of sound deadener ever. 72ft^2 of SoundQubed Q-Mat. Also bought two more of their PA's and their soft dome tweeters. Gonna redo the doors. Two 6.5's per door, one AQ and one SQ (two total) tweeters in each A-pillar, drivers side aiming at passenger, and vise-versa, powered by my AQ 90x4, one per channel. Each door will be powered by a AQ 200.2, since I just bought two off of dolarbilz. Mids and highs will have PLENTY of headroom at 4ohm each per channel. Now I just need to buy some more wire, 1/0 to 4ga inputs, some Y-splitters, and wood for a new enclosure at some point. The wife is NOT going to be happy......

So here we go:

Two boxes of Q-Mat (18 sheets). Looks like it got a little hot during shipping... Note to self: do not order sound deadener in the summer time.

Great buy from him, he shipped it out shortly after payment, and these AudioQue 200.2's are in amazing condition. Thanks again man.

Now, the hard part will be having the time to install/build everything. And the space to work. We'll see how it goes, might be a while before I have it completed. For those tuned in, appreciate the love. It's hard to enjoy a build log with no box build yet in an SUV that isn't going to be walled and only has two 12's. Time to get to work this week though. My free time will be very limited for the next few months for sure.

Get on it ...

I will. Hopefully tomorrow I can get started on the deadener. All depends on what time I leave the ship. And I need to redesign the amp rack to fit the 2-channels. everything will be a complete rebuild.

Got started on deadening the doors today after doing some errands. Didn't finish the drivers side door, but this weekend will hopefully finish it off. I realize that 72ft^2 isn't as much as I thought... Doing the doors and the door panels used up almost half.
