[epo]

nice one mate

[srs1]

layout looks good, i am just thinking that your 6x9's magnets will catch on the archs.

why not try and make a small angled plate on them. drawing the volume to the rear panel. sound deaden it and then cover in leather with your own symbol etched onto it, with some leds going across the boot lid.

[General Baxter]

bloody stupid neighbour slowed me down, just been standing talking for over 3 hours, any way packet up for tonight :p

[General Baxter]

im having a lazy fat fuck day today :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Marc]

Honestly you cant beat a lazy day lol :D

well mate will sound loud with your amps and subs. At the moment im thinking about getting a Sony 1000w amp but run it on a single 12 sony Explode thats loud enough for me, dont need any more lol

You take it easy baxter, you are doing too much :lol:

[probert_nova]

i don't think you get as much of a "wow" look with ice carpet.
get summut else instead imo.
maybe that material that has colour flip in it.
its harder to work with than ice carpet but well worth it in the end. :D

[burgo]

and how are ya gonna be trimming it??


well once the seeds have been planted ill be getting a mini lawn mower to 'trim it' :wink:

i was going black leather, but just thinking some ice carpet :)
i recon you should use accoustic carpet and then sprinkle grass seeds all over it and seriously have a lawn in the back of your car lol

[motobruce]

[General Baxter]

when you buy me a nuke :lol:

i have world domination plans :twisted:

[Glytch]

That MDF looks a little thin for housing subs Baxter, specially if ur intending to put AudioBahns in.

Question though:
how the hell do u get the material to strech around moulded installs?

I have tried and never had much luck, u always get creases where uve had to fold it over to allow for the curves???

Canj u get summit that shrinks when u heat it up ur summit?

[General Baxter]

That MDF looks a little thin for housing subs Baxter, specially if ur intending to put AudioBahns in.


21mm thick :wink:
just the photos make it look small and the 'end caps' are only 12mm thick :p

[Glytch]

lol mate, ud be better off (but a bit late now) enclosing each sub compartment seperately and sealing each.

Still, nevermind, bet its gonna be loud as..

[General Baxter]

[General Baxter]

[-=VanMan=-]

you would of been better paneling it all out before you built the boxs

[5toprjepog]

Um i think that to run the better power subs you wanna get you might wanna gat some 18mm mdf cause your mdf is to thin and it will mean they will flex to much.

[General Baxter]

21mm thick :wink:
just the photos make it look small and the 'end caps' are only 12mm thick :p

:roll:

[te17@novasgonemad]

[General Baxter]

boo :)

http://www.streetrace.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2891

[Marc]

Looks smart baxter. Personnally i reckon a GSI dash would suit the car to go with the black theme.

[General Baxter]

i fell out the window, dont ask :lol:

[Marc]

lol @ baxter

Did it hurt when you hit the ground? lol

[General Baxter]

theres really not that much to hurt in my head :lol:

[flowlikewater]

[Jack]

Looks smart baxter. Personnally i reckon a GSI dash would suit the car to go with the black theme.
Yes, I really think a GSi dash would make that look top notch. It would finish it off nicely. I really think you should get one. Problem is finding one, they're not exactly common.


...Oh look, I have a spare in my shed which I don't need! What are the chances of that! :wink: :lol:

[General Baxter]

oh look over 160miles away :wink: :lol:
