Beckett Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Here is the beautie she is a real rare car over here in Britain:) what i plan on doing is fibre glassing the doors to house the RF speakers, i shall be building a new sub box so i can place the sub as far as possible on the opposite side to the port because the boot is a bit thinner than my car i have it in now. and jus generally making it a real neat job by covering the battery and everything else in the boot with mdf so all that is visable is the top of the sub box and i will make something that will cover everything up when i leave the car in public so you can't see the stuff in the boot wanna know anything just ask.... shall be fibre glassing 4 rockford fosgate 2-way component speakers and there crossovers to each door:) Here is what shall be going in the back of her... shouldn't look like that tho This is the start of what i am doing, jus cutting some 15mm MDF to have a solid floor to screw everything down to.....there shall be tonnes of sound deadening everywhere in the boot and i may well glue another layer of MDF jus to make the floor stronger and more solid:) comments i will update as i do more to her:) Beckett xx Edited July 26, 2008 by Beckett Quote JS Fraser *Alpine Typr-R 12" *JBL GTO 1200.1 Sub Amp *Alpine PDX-4.100 *Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5's *Rockford Fosgate Fanatics 6.5's Both in front doors *0/1 Guage wiring from front Junction Boxes to 120AH Battery In Boot (battery removed because too small for alternator) *140 Amp HO Alternator *Alpine Head Unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckett Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) well here is the progress of my new sub box for the polo well here is the outside walls of the box..... i have just coated the whole inside in this epoxy resin to seal it and try and make it a bit more solid inside. here is the port, done the same thing, coated it in resin both sides.. then i 45'd the corners that will be in the port with the same epoxy resin, i this screwed and glued the port into the box... using some epoxy glue to seal all the joints etc. then i cut some batons in half and screwed the biggest one onto the port and glued behind it and in the joints. this is basically what the inside of my box looks like comments:) Beckett x Edited July 26, 2008 by Beckett Quote JS Fraser *Alpine Typr-R 12" *JBL GTO 1200.1 Sub Amp *Alpine PDX-4.100 *Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5's *Rockford Fosgate Fanatics 6.5's Both in front doors *0/1 Guage wiring from front Junction Boxes to 120AH Battery In Boot (battery removed because too small for alternator) *140 Amp HO Alternator *Alpine Head Unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobtastic14 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) get a better woof!! and i like how the interior color of the trunk sheet metal is purple! on a more serious note the box looks SOLID!! nice resin work!! just keep in mind the resin itself has very little strength so throwing some mat on the walls will help a ton (if you had some i couldn't tell sry) -Drew Edited July 28, 2008 by Noobtastic14 Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Beckett Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 and i like how the interior color of the trunk sheet metal is purple! lol.. i don't care it was my 1st car:) haha. ............................ . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . . .. the reason i made a new box is so i can just take the woofer out of my current car n put it straight into the polo. i planning to get everything in the polo ready for just the speakers HU battery and jus the last little bits of crimping/wiring etc. plus the boot is a little bit different to my current car because it's a bit thinner so i jus wanted to move the sub in the new box as far away from the port as possible:) in the current car it is in the centre of the port and end of box. plus my friend at work built the current box for me, i jus wanted to actually make the whole thing myself so i can say i built it its tuned to 33Hz.. exactly the same dimensions as before:) i want to get a bigger and more powerful sub and amp in a few years when i can easily afford it etc xx Quote JS Fraser *Alpine Typr-R 12" *JBL GTO 1200.1 Sub Amp *Alpine PDX-4.100 *Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5's *Rockford Fosgate Fanatics 6.5's Both in front doors *0/1 Guage wiring from front Junction Boxes to 120AH Battery In Boot (battery removed because too small for alternator) *140 Amp HO Alternator *Alpine Head Unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 a lil update then i routered a circle out of 23mm ply, and cut a square bit with batons so i could screw the floor solid and level:), if i didn't have something like this in the wheel well the floor wouldn't be very solid! it is bolted through the wheel well:) i then routered around the edges so it was a better fit around the edges etc cus it was a rreal tight fit;) and varnished it so it was kinda protected a bit i now have the sub box nearly done, just got to fit it, put some bolts through it when it is in place so i can connect to the sub, and then paint it, thinking about doing the whole boot black. but havent decided yet! heeeee finally getting on with it been slacking a bit for a while lol. i wannna drive my olop comments:) xx Quote JS Fraser *Alpine Typr-R 12" *JBL GTO 1200.1 Sub Amp *Alpine PDX-4.100 *Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5's *Rockford Fosgate Fanatics 6.5's Both in front doors *0/1 Guage wiring from front Junction Boxes to 120AH Battery In Boot (battery removed because too small for alternator) *140 Amp HO Alternator *Alpine Head Unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkeyboozter Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 No offence but I think that VW is one of the shitties companies out there, Actually now that porche bought out most of VW I think Ill stop supporting them as well, even though they have been related from almost the start. Those thugs probably reckoned that no one would miss that hunk of junk. Looks like you are located in UK and if that is the case you might want to stop by bicester, they have factory outlets there that is so sweee; picket up a pair if diesel jeans for 25 pounds ...any way back to the point; second hand cars in the UK are amongst the cheapest in the world, even a peegoat 205 would have been better.
