bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 This is an install that I did for a customer in his 1993 190E. He wanted a double din in place of the single din, one 12, and all the speakers replaced. I did some searching around for him and found him some good deals on products that would get the job done. Although they aren't the best products I am overall satisfied with how it turned out and the sound it really nice and crisp. (This is my first install for a customer and I learned a lot from it, I am working my way up to hopefully be able to do this for a living) The start: Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Now that I have the new clarions installed I started working on the dash to get the double din to fit. I superglued these plastic spacers in to raise the hu high enough to look right Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I bent these metal tabs and bolted them to the top plastic piece and the top of the hu bracket to keep it from sagging down in the future. I had to grind down each bolt for clearance And there u have it, a custom mounted double din Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Time for the box. About 2ft^3 and tuned to around 38hz Don't mind the out of place looking triangle pieces, those were strengthened with another piece of wood and sealed up Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I wrapped the trim panel in carpet to match the trunk and added some white led's Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdubii Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I painted the face of the box to match the color of the car and the port black, wired everything up and screwed it all together and then tested it out Overall I am happy with the way it turned out and I learned a lot from this experience. I have never tried making trim panels before so this was a first and took longer than it should. Also there were a few things that I could have done to make it look a little better and some things that could have used some more attention. But like I said this is the first time I have worked on a customers car and I charged him a low rate so I can try to get my name out there and also gain experience which I feel like I did. Any criticism is appreciated. Thanks for looking Quote My build, four 15's walled: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/106855-07-tacoma-walled-off-with-4-15s/page__p__1487297#entry1487297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
