Wow! Looks very impressive AF! Did you take the doors off for this install? Or just the inside door panels?

 

just the door panels

 

Todays update coming.

 

Todays Update:

All the doors are completely sealed up now with 26 gauge aluminum covering all the holes. They are also completely dampened using the BXT II. I still have to do the ensolite (closed cell foam), but i got tired of doing this portion of the project so i moved on.

I fabbed up the brackets for the speakers and installed the woofers for the components. No clearance issues whatsoever.

I decided to move on towards the amps. Got curious so i took the back plate off one of the amps and found this:



I made the amp rack out of 1/2" MDF. Its strong enough to hold everything no problem, but not so thick it'll interfere with clearance issues with the amps and seats. Every 1/4" matters back there. I wrapped it with black speaker box carpet.




I positioned the amps how i wanted them and screwed them in using 1/2" screws. Nothing pokes out the back and they're on there very solid. The whole thing weighs about 30lbs (just a guess)



Next up will be starting the fiberglass for the sub enclosure

 

sweet man. the amp rack came out really good.

 

very nice work af...just becareful opening amps cause some places wont warranty them if the "seal" is broken....but very nice job....cant wait to see more....

 

Todays update:

Last night i realized i didnt leave a spot for the center seatbelt spool. DOH!! So i had to rearrange the amps. Heres the new layout. I actually like it better.




The 3.5" speakers came today. Boston Acoustic S35. They literally took 10 minutes to install. Piece of cake. Note the size of the magnet (2.5"!!!)






Next I built the frame for the sub box (forgot to take pics, but you'll see it later). I laid all the tape and its ready for fiberglass!!



I measured it to be 1.7 total cubic ft without the subs. With the subs it'll be about .8 cu ft per side. The subs call for .5-.75 each, so im real happy with it.

Fiberglass tomorrow!!

 

here is how i did mine!

i've been using your build the whole time man. haha you've given me plenty of ideas. im picking what i liked at copying it, and picking what i didnt like and changing it. that thread has been very instrumental to this build, so thanks.
