sean 371 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Eh I just use old t shirts to stretch over my shit. Although you could use some spandex type material. A lot more stretchy. And pick up some CA glue to attach the fabric at the back, the hot glue I used to use made it much harder to sand off the excess on the back. To countersink cut a bigger ring and glue it to the other one. Do the inside cut of the flush trim ring with a router, because anything else will show imperfections, I don't care how good you are with a jigsaw. Unless you sand it a bunch that is.

sean 371 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yea sure, as long as the material doesnt sag. All the material does is give you a semi-hard surface for you to put glass on.

dcofer Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 once you get the kick panels made how do you attach them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 once you get the kick panels made how do you attach them? before i stretched the material, i glassed in small blocks of MDF onto the mold...Now I can just put a couple screws thru the stock panel into the wood blocks and then put the stock panel back in. It makes a couple holes in the stock panel, but its worth it.

sean 371 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 New updates!! Well I decided against the vinyl, partially because I quit my job at the audio shop today and didnt have easy access to free vinyl or free contact adhesive ($50 per gallon). But I painted it a textured paint, looks real nice in my opinion. I'm not sure how well the colors going to look in the car yet though. And I have a few pics of my amp rack. primed/sanded: primed again: painted: started running wires: xover mounted under the dash mostly out of sight: amps: A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
