maplins do a fridge that can hold 18 beer cans and also if you wish it will heat to 50 degrees (i think its that high)

ok for warming yer pies up (DAN)

hope you didnt pay too much for the neutrik connector, they are usually ?12 for plug and socket, i only paid ?5 for both from maplins in sperate bits. :D about 3-4 years ago

neutrik connector was kicking around in a box of bits i bought! so i thought hey thats cool ill use it! another little detail!

the fridge i have is a heater as well, its made my same company as maplins one, just a smaller capacity cos i dont wanna fill the boot with a darn fridge!

[Tilly]

yeah looks good

[Fester]

looks amazing, 20000million times better than the 'amp and pre-boxed sub lashed in the boot' look

[Tilly]

not all of us have time to put it any other way fester

[Fester]

i know - have 4 random speakers and where the head unit should be is a load of wires :roll:

[novaboy_southwest]

well swindon is along the m4 in between bristol and reading

[Tilly]

and u can stop by for a cuppa with me lol

[novaboy_southwest]

mikeoxford what would be needed i could do it my self really this is my department i am a chippy by trade so easy enough mdf i take it just a false floor with amp and sub in the false floor carpet or checker plate to finish it off and a neon if i wanted

[mikeoxford]

had to do a lot of calculations for the box design and port / air space etc etc for the sub.

lots of measurements invbolved and getting a VERY tight fit against the arches, wasnt happy with anything else!

apart from that what u said!

to be fair NOTHING in modifying a car is hard, NOTHING not even engine work, its pulling it off to a high standard that is the hard part.

anyone can slap a bit of MDF in a boot, but its making it look like it was meant to be there / its not bodged together thats the hard part

[techie]

to be fair NOTHING in modifying a car is hard, NOTHING not even engine work



Tell that to Ben.... :lol:

You cheecky bar steward :!: :o

very true though, come on down then Mike and get my car running :!: :roll:

[locky]

Nice 1 mike! hope 2 see it this wekend! lookin good!

[novaboy_southwest]

as i said i am a chippy so it will be done to highest standers my mate who used to own the car put a false floor in and to admit its smart i was going to keep the sub in the box but just ressec it into the floor and just recces the amp and then perspex the hole over the amp and mesh the sub or do a design in the opening for the sub (i aint good at explaing things so u prob not understand what i am saying lol)

[Nova-Boy]

That is a dam sexy boot install! looks the nuts and saves space.

Have you seen that advert with the microwaves? Thats funnier than a fridge!! :lol:

[techie]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink: :wink:

I its nice mate

does the power cap do anything tho?

[Ben (lurk75)]

does the power cap do anything tho?

They most certainly do.They are the most important component in a decent install. If you are spending a serious amount on ICE then your a fool if you dont fit one.

[PeteG]

Thats a really cool(geddit??-sorry) neat and tidy install there Mike-like that a lot. 8)
