Ok, Im Sick Of No Bass

[infiltrator]

Hey peoples,

im sick of no Sub Bass in the car, so i started my sub boxes, well one at least...

Fibreglass jobs ill post some pics and some step by steps as well.

only a few weeks mmm bass

[260rsstagea]

yeah go the bass i run 4 12" subs in the back of my 260rs in full custom inclosure be good to see the pics enjoy the bass to come

[unique1]

im about to start daily driving the stagea so i wouldnt mind some pics of stereo installs too, i would prefer something removal if i need to carry lots of gear in the back though, definately nuthin like yours Daniel, thats abit extreme

[infiltrator]

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

Looking great. Looks like you'll still be able to get a fair amount of stuff in the back still too

[infiltrator]

hehe thats only the first box.... 1 more and then the amp rack

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

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

[SHIZNT]

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]

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

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

hehe hey secrurity blanket !

[infiltrator]

yeah and couple that with 5% tinting... all good

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.

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.

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.
