andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 There is still some adaption work. This will be the Sub-box. The piece I wanted to cover in Carbonkevlar, I painted black, to be sure the layer underneath won't show. milled some rings to put the woofers in. Here a picture of the bottomside, where he made wholes , to let the sound flow outside. Still some more polyester work to do. Did some preparation to stretch the cloth nicely. i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 The wholes you can see in the alu, don't worry about it. It'll be covered in CF.. The next thing on the list is something very difficult. The connections of the speakers he'll make in copper, of 5mm thickness. Cables are so boring some cupper 5mm thickness, more didn't fit in the speaker. Copper connections are ready. made a model first, took a mold, and fold it the same way. Sawed it all, rubbed it, and polished. On this picture you can see he putt a whole in the bottomside to connect the cables. The cupper wil go to the middle, so I made a alu plated where the bars fitt right on in. alu triangles bade in a little CF. i likes me some audio stuff...

andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 started to make the bottomplate. She will be around the BOX and rest on the chassis of the car. did it as good as possible. Leveled it with waterleveler. Once this plate is right, you take the messurements always from this plate, so it has to be 100% correcT. milled to upperboard i likes me some audio stuff...

andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Started to make a hinge. He went to see the store, but they didn't had what he needed. So got some aluminium .. The meaning of this hinge, is that the amplifier can go up. So the crowbar needed to be something nice. Cause the crowbar wil be very shot/small, he made it strong enought. (15mm thickness) there are nicer things in life to do, but when it's finished, it was worth the work in his eyes. Against the alu tube, he's going to weld a piece to, where he can hook the amp on. i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Then I started to tair apart the Alpine CD player. Did away the front, and made some trolleys to fasten the thing. here you can see the front of the CD player The ALU- box where the amp should come is foreseen with the hinge. This one, he screwed on. I going to try it'l go this way. If not, he can always weld it on... I doesn't want to try it now, cause he's afraid it all bend of the heat. But it's a final option... Will look like...... put some movement in the amp. Made a fiberglass plate. Here will be some change soon, but you have to start somewhere. found some vents that you can take from each other. These are from aluminium, but the frame they're in, goes in the bin. There will be an -minor modded- version of it 2 pieces to place in the vents, so the cooling on the amp will be better. i likes me some audio stuff...

andym85 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 The pieces are finally done. all that work, pppfffffff, but it was worth it . Here's a picture from the front. You can see a V where everythings slides into. Then he fiberglassed a little alu piece that is fastened bigtime. In the whole those things are layed into, fiberglassed a firm alu bridge, and there the backside slides into. These things have to come out really fast, cause his GPS and CD loader is behind it. i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one, you will see, and will be covered in Carbon On the picture, you can see he miled a little ditch. covering the frame in Carbon i likes me some audio stuff...
