infiltrator Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 We all know what it looks like bare what i have done is put layers of aluminum foil down and taped it up with masking tape, you will notice that it is quite thick in the grooves, this is so when you roll it the roller dosent go through the foil Test fitment of the first glass mat layer, this will give you the basic shape. Test fitment with the amp and sub all resined up out of the car 1 out of the car 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/243156-ok-im-sick-of-no-bass/#findComment-4238698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Looking great. Looks like you'll still be able to get a fair amount of stuff in the back still too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/243156-ok-im-sick-of-no-bass/#findComment-4238833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBPOWA-(TJ) Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 i've always thought of putting a small encloser around the towers there. to fit a shallow 12 and amp hidding in the wall, just to keep the space. or even just a dual 12inch behind the seats for easy removle, as its not a daily driver not really fussed im liking the look of your setup so far, but i got one of those kenwood dvd's and the system box of what even is in that pocket you filled, but can wait to see the final outcome looks good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/243156-ok-im-sick-of-no-bass/#findComment-4241061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIZNT Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Looks the goods mates. Only thing is on the left hand side behind the panel in the boot is the computer for the Atessa system and on the right hand side is the oil bottle for the Atessa system. In saying that it would probably be a good idea making it easy to remove so you can access to the Atessa computer and oil bottle.

infiltrator Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, i thought of that, they will be completely removable. when i had the bluey, the system was awesome, but it was totaly impractical, no boot space. hehe as you can see Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/243156-ok-im-sick-of-no-bass/#findComment-4242086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

infiltrator Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Quick update guys. ok a framework has to be made so as to hold everything in place. when you have finished the framework the fibreglassing can begin. what i didnt take a photo of is me streching the "T-Shirt" matrial over the framework and hot gluing/ stapling to get the shape i want. then you just get resin and paint over the matrial, giving you a good hard but brittle shape to start putting your mat on. the box itself is going to be a sealed box so now im fining all the holes and pluging them up. next step is i will be glassing over the amp to make it so it is sunk into the box. ill take a few photos of that process.. ok framework for sub and amp mount. Sub and amp test mounted. almpst all glassed up test mount.

FelixTRX Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 OK, so I don't want to start a new thread, but what are thew biggest sized speakers you can fit into the standard spots in the doors, without modifying the door skins? I don't want to go the the effort of the boot install, but I'm putting in my HU and Jaycar Response 4x50WRMS amp (was thinking of under the drivers seat for mounting), and my factory speakers have gone to heaven due to my love of the new Girl Talk album......talk about bass! I remember threads on the speakers, but I can't find them....at all! Cheers, Greg.

Chris Rogers Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 they are 6.75" standard. depth wise 100mm is the max. I'm working on a M35 now and once done I'll pop a few images of it up. the USB location is kinda cool.
