onebadmonte Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I cleaned up the install a bit. A big thanks to all those who got after me to finish the dang think. Thanks. First are the rear components. Being that they are mounted on the rear deck and this is an IB setup I opted to enclose the mids. This is what they looked like. These are the enclosures. Thermal-formed abs plastic. My flange was a little short. I ended up having to modify the u-nuts. Here is the finished enclosure. Lastly, a test fit. What do you think?

onebadmonte Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Here are some pics of another project I'm working on. It's a 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo. I had a 454 with a turbo350 trans. I burned a valve and parked it. 10+ years later I'm going to bring it back to life with some new school power. As it sits. The big block is out. A hellacious hail storm did the windshield in. The grill. Nuff said. New school power. 6.0 LY6 (LS engine family) Fuel injected with variable valve timing. Factory rated at 353HP / 375TQ The transmission. 4L80E, 4 speed automatic, overdrive transmission. Beefy. Hey, what are my Atlas doing on the floor? More to come. Stay tuned.

onebadmonte Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Here we go, a system clean up that would make old-schooler's proud. Here I'm fitting all the original trunk carpeting and panels. I was getting ready to pick up some carpeting when I came across this. F@ck it. Lets be different. It's cheap too. This is the first time I wrap/upholster anything. The finished baffle. Hey, there's my Monte Carlo Here is the baffle and carpeting in place. I replaced the cheap nuts with some nicer acorn nuts and washers. Up close and personal with an acorn nut. Amps in place. I organized the wiring as well. I mounted the passive cross-overs underneath the rear deck to clean things up a bit. The mids are enclosed so their cones aren't affected by the subs. Finally the subs are back in place. Another benefit of an infinite baffle install. You don't need to dick around with a heavy ass box to get the spare out when you get a flat. Hehe.

onebadmonte Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks everyone. I don't know about making it easy. You should have been there every time I banged my knees. God, I feel old. You would have laughed you ass off every time I cursed the stars because the screw driver was just an inch too far from me to reach. My favorite was when I was tempted to call 911 because I couldn't get myself up out of the trunk after laying in it to mount the crossovers on the rear deck. Classic man moments. LOL! The boom board. The first time I heard that was back in 93 when a shop was demo-ing 4 Orion 10" IB subs in the back of a Cadillac Seville. Can you tell it left a lasting impression. The rear deck isn't air tight sealed. There are the various small holes and what not that I'm just going to pretend aren't there. There are four large rectangular openings around the crossovers that do bug me. Right now it gets covered with some jute-insulation, then the carpeted fiber board that's a quarter inch thick. It seems to get the job done. I'd like to follow up with some deadening material over the rear deck to really cover up all those openings a bit tighter.
