Love this build and all the detail you're putting into it. I wish I had your persistence, I always just say screw it and cut small corners bc I just want to hear it play. haha

One thing I thought of though is on the dsp RCA's, what if you mads them loop almost like a "p", might help keep them from sticking out as much. Either way it'll look good, especially once it's all tessa taped

That's not a bad idea bro! I'll give them a little twist and see how it works out.

Generally the wires wouldn't be in a bad spot how they are. The RCA's would be over the AC/heater vent exits under the seat. Technically the B2 DSP is in the line of fire and the way I plan on mounting this (and protecting it from careless feet) then the rear passenger side foot well will not have heat or AC.

Considering how many times I have passengers I don't see that being an issue the 2x a year I'll have passengers back there AND need to cool or heat someone's feet :)

Then I found some heat shrink over at Altex.

I also did a poor drawing of an idea I had. This will be the beauty panel that covers the seal off of the subs.

I will also find a good way to copy the 6

Well its that time again. I took the 4 day thanksgiving weekend and worked on my car some more. I got a TON done. Id say the car is over half way from being done. Also... SHOUT OUT to mazda for being such a awesome car manufacture. You will see in the pictures shortly but this car was practically made for the wiring and equipment that I installed this weekend. It worked beautifully. anyways... picture time. There is a lot.

This was where I started in the morning.

Then I started ripping out the interior and laying down some sound deadening. The floor of this car won't need much. I chose to do about a 70% coverage in this area with 2-4 layers of deadener depending on what "felt right".

Ever wonder what a entire 2016 mazda 6 interior looks like in a small room? Well now you can mark it off your list.

l9agkVZ.jpg

You can see here I put some Overkill pro between the stock AC ducts. They rattled around a little too much for my liking so this is how It went.

I also found some gaps in the B pillars that I put a bunch of foam into. This was mainly just to stop sounds from echoing around inside it.

Needed a break so i went and soldered up my VM1 inside so I could run the wire and tap into my DSP / volt meter cluster.

Forgot a picture of the floor deadened with CDL and some Luxary Liner pro laid down. I did this same treatment on both sides. I still have more but the fitment of this car is TIGHT so i did not want to just go laying expensive vinyl all crazy just to remove it later.

kEeGYjS.jpg

The volt meters temporary home. I want to fab up a small plate that fits in this location for it. But for now its chilling there all wired up.

9EGEyZ3.jpg

On the topic of that Volt meter / DSP cluster. Here it is. It is 14ga primary OFC, RED, BLACK, WHITE, BLUE...twisted using the drill method and then wrapped in Exterior Tesa Tape.

M8swN8X.jpg

4Be6jBF.jpg

Back to the volt meter install. This is where I pulled it through. I used some of the Tesa sticky foam tape to route it along the inside of the console. You will see this tape used a lot. Its white and cloth like but the adhesive is SERIOUS. You will see a few pictures of it holding 2 runs of 2/0 welding cable. LOL. Anyways. Its great stuff. Everything in the car is secured using Tesa Tape of some kind..

R5TVAjr.jpg

After I deadened the floor with CDL I decided to run my wiring on the opposite sides of the car. In this picture you can see my 2 runs of 2/0 welding cable... tech flexed in different colors for identification reasons and nicely routed up the driver side. I secured them every 6 inches or so...

Now this picture looks simple but there is a ton of work to get what you see here. If you look carefully you will see a bundle of speaker wire Tesa Taped up above along OEM wiring and you will see the 2/0 runs routed very cleanly around the kick panel and up to the firewall grommets.

Oh and my awesome girlfriend flush mounted my JL control knob for me. Looks AWESOME.
