Bourkey Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Howdy,Glad to hear your using my idea. I will allow it as long as you do it right. ;). If you want any help just give me a shout. A little piece of advice for you is to keep some of the car pet you use. Just enough to cover the sub from theiving eyes when your not about. What sub and speakers are you using?

Nanglebadger Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Project Boot - Stage 2Step 14: ensure earth, phono and power wires are adequate lengths to manoeuver under floor. ATTENTION - power and earth cables are LIVE! either remove appropriate fuses or be very careful they dont touch anything metal! sparks fly!! they can make a mess of your panels and parts!Step 15: run earth, phono and power cables before securing new floorStep 16: apply glass fibre and leave to set (we're leaving it overnight).

Bourkey Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 That 15" Sony sub is pretty good. The shape of it stops it distorting easily at the top end. On downside is that its a bit heavier but the sound quality speaks for itself. Im sorry to say i've never really liked Sony's speakers as the others in the same price range sound better. But if you got them for free you can't complain at all. I was going to put 6x9's in mine but i decided not to in the end just because it sounded great as it was. But if i was going to mount them anywhere i'd have them in the place where the rear bench was as there are two small dents where the rear passengers sat. Id have one in each dent. REMEMBER: Dont put the power cable down the side with the petrol tank. If you have any petrol spilages and they get to that power cable. You car will cook completely in less than five min.Thats a pretty damn good job your doing there phil. Keep up the good work. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 thanks for the replies guys!we have somethin special in progress for the 6x9s, we were originally gonna do as u suggested bourkey man but then we need somewhere to put stuff for the treks to JAE, so i think we'll put somethin lightweight where the seats we and just carpet it over, the 6x9 work is in progress, it shall be revealed once completed, wana keep a wee surprise for interests sake really!got more done today which i'll thro up after my coffee, ran out of fibre glass so thats holdin us up until tomorrow then its full steam ahead again.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Project Boot - Stage 3Step 17: sand down rough parts of glass fibreStep 18: stick down side pieces to fill boot w/ suitable adhesiveStep 19: using old boot carpet as a template cut new carpet to shape of boot space (remember to cut it slightly larger to allow for coverage of edges of floor). at present its still slightly too large but this will be adressed when the floor is completely finishedStep 20: mock up sub and amp and drill screw holescame to a bit of a stop due to lack of more fibre glass but that'll be sorted tomorrow, so work on the 6x9s was done instead to get them started. also, the carpet was MEANT to be black, turned out to be charcoal grey, i would have been annoyed but it actually matches the colour of the factory front carpet which means when its joined together it should look smart and tidy so that actually turned out better!Phil.
