project interior pics
 

This is my first attempt at any kind of interior work, im not finished yet it still needs to be covered but id still like some feedback on what yall think

I think your going to have hearing loss:unibrow:
Looks good.

haha yea ive heard that from a few people and thanks

Probably be able to hear that sucker from across the river:unibrow: !

Looks good Beltone will love you.

What?

:lol:



Looks fun, Chris.

looks great!
 

what are you going to do up front?

I guess thats one way to drown out the exhaust noise. :thumbsup:



Chris:cheers:

the subs are MA 10's that are 600 watts max 300 rms i think thats the rms i cant remember, the 6x9's are also MA that are mounted next to the subs, i have 2 5 1/4 MA highs in the kick panels with 2 200 watt tweeters mounted in the console pointed right at you, the amps are also MA and theres a 1200 watt 2 chanel for the subs and a 800 watt 4 chanel for the highs all wired to a 1.25 farred capacetor and ive spent that last 2 days finish fitting and wiring all this stuff up and just got to take a listen about an hour ago and i think i may have gone a little over board lol, oh well at least i dont have to worry about not being able to hear the radio on the highway

pics of the sterio installed

:lol: :lol:

Where did you get the speaker rings for the build?

Is the enclosure finished? From the picture it looks like the subs are sharing the same air space.Might want to seperate the enclosure so that each sub sees it's own sealed enclosure.It's been a while since I've done any stereo work but that's what I was always advised. I've always lightly sanded the inside of the enclosure and fiberglassed the inside to insure it's air tight.Both of these thing make a pretty big difference in sound quality and are worth the work.

The speaker rings are the same 3/4 in mdf i just cut them out with the jigsaw at like a 30 degree angle then hand sanded them for a really long time till i got the curve i wanted. the subs are sharing the same air space but since there running off the same amp it should be ok ive only heard of dividing up the air space if each sub is running off its own amp. No the enclosure isnt quite finished im makeing some trim rings to go around the amps to and i cant decide weather or not i want to cover it all in the black suede to match the rest of the interior or if i should fiberglass it. The only problem is ive never used fiberglass before and ive got nobody around where i live that does this type of stuff so im kinda flying solo

I think ive decided to fiberglass the sterio stuff, but ive never used fiberglass before. Can anyone explain the steps of how to use it?

I sand the inside with some 120 grit then clean the dust as thouroughly as humanly possible. Clean it with some alcohol.Precut some 3 inch wide strips to do your corners and some sheets to do your flats. If you have never used fiberglass resin before you might want to use epoxy resin you can have a MUCH longer work time. Fiberglass resin sets very quickly. Mix your epoxy reisin and brush it into the corner then lay the strip into the corner allowing half of the strip to sit on either board of the angle. Once you have worked the air bubbles out of the corners you can start brushing the flat and lay your sheet down on the flat. I ususally do two layers and alternate between the corners and the flats. Depending on temperature it may take the epoxy over twenty four hours to dry. If you decide to do the epoxy resin make sure you use a weave and not a chopped matt. You can only use chopped matt with fiberglass resin. It's no too late to put that divider board in. Good luck hope this info helps.

Yea that does help alot thanks, ill start playing with it as soon as i can get some extra cash.

I'm on your side 3400 watts of power and it does over come the BBC and 3" exhaust. At regular levels it sounds better than most home theaters........lol

Go by your local boat shop and look at the West Systems epoxy resin display. They have a book available that will help you learn how to use the stuff, plus epoxy resin is easier to work with as it isn't effected by the temperature and humidity as regular polyester resin is. You can also do some really cool stuff with it.

Haha thats pretty much how mine is I love it, I never have to pull up to a stoplight and listen to someone elses music I can just turn mine up and thats all I hear and at 3200 rpm's on the highway it's still crystal clear. I did give fiberglassing a shot yesterday. I tip my hat to all of yall out there that can do that because it looks alot easier than it actually is lol. It being 90 something degrees outside yesterday didnt seem to help either, oh well I'll try again pretty soon and just keep experimenting.

well i started covering some of the back. the fiberglass was a little over my head but im pretty good with material so ill just stick to what i know lol

just made my first door panel only took about 6 hours lol just have to make the other one now which should be alot easier and quicker

Great Job!, I hope your taking build pics, I may have to do myself as well.

I wish i would have taked more pics sooner but im starting to take alot now, ive only got 2 pics of the car when i first got it 5 or 6 years ago and its not even recognizable to that now
