dmanvt Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Hey all. I've been following steve meade for quite a few years now slowly improving on my skills and learning so much. I recently purchased my first v8 when i got off my P Plates here in Australia. This is my new project. I will post as i go on here nothing massive at all but i nice neat daily with a bit of a clean for show style look to it. Thanks for checking it out! Rock on Steve Meade! sooo..... as for the pics! Getting some gear: Some of the massive tweeters!! Against a can: Starting the rings on my home made cnc machine i designed and built: Finished Ring:Designing the sub box as i cant go without some bass for too long... sounded boring without it so temp installed haha Sub box expectation vs reality Box in and subs in (will come back to boot install later) Glassing up the door ready for the pods to be built from back forward: More glassing:Fleece time!!More glassing again Glassing Done: Bit of a test fit:Smoothed out some contours to get it to line up with the door a bit betterDoor on and test fitted more filling to come!Thats up to the present day now so more filling to come and sanding and filling and sanding and fi... you get the idea.... Will post as i go. Thanks again for looking cheers
