serious note, welcome and i like you saxo, get a progress thread going and everyone can keep upto date on it, first thing id do is loose that backbox, doesnt fit in well with the car. Like the stripes though to be fair.

Welcome

Are you a true gearhead then? :cool:

[Gearhead]

[Peter_D]

Ahhh, a 'gearhead' to me is a person who loves drugs with a passion

[Gearhead]

ohright ok..haha
nah i dont touch the stuff...prefer to spend money and time on my baby! :P (saxo) haha

[mlawlan69]

very tidy !!!

really like the alloys/

[Peter_D]

Car looks cool by the way but is the back window tinted, the passenger side? It looks dodgy

And the stripe needs removed from the back

Maybe get the alloys done in anthracite or black

[Gearhead]

here are some pics of my on going sound system boot build! :)
i wanted to make the boot build so that it isnt perminatly fitted. so i bought some speaker terminal connectors so that i can easily remove the system if needed.

hope you like the process :)


http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/1.jpg
here i have my 2 11'' pioneer subs, 11'' fusion sub, 2 6x9'' vibe speakers, 300watt fusion amp and 80 watt mutant amp

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/2.jpg
i then made the surrounds for all th speakers.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/3.jpg
then messured my boot and made the frame...then put i in my boot to see if it fit before i glued it together..:)

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/4.jpg
i then made the legs for my surounds

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/5.jpg
close up of legs...two big ones to little ones to give the angle of the speaker.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/6.jpg
started playing round with the layout of the subs...

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/7.jpg
this is my final positioning of the subs.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/8.jpg
drew a grid of 5x5cm on the frame so that i knew where to drill for the subs.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/9.jpg
had to do it all over the frame...bit of ocd i think...but wanted it to be perfect! :)

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/10.jpg


http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/11.jpg
worked out my speaker positioning and screwed it all together.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/12.jpg
put all the system in to see if it looked alright.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/13.jpg
i then curved the edges of the frame and cut out a piece at the back. also put sealent around the edges to make it air-tight.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/14.jpg
drilled holes for the terrminal connectors for each sub. this is so i can remove the whole system if needed without breaking anything. just a few disconections of the wires and will be able to remove it all in one piece.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/15.jpg
terminal connectors where put in place.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/16.jpg
the terminal connector from the outside.

http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/teenpuffercrazy/17.jpg
stapled an old bed sheet tightly over the whole frame.
and am now in the process of fibreglassing! :)
will add more pics as i go along

[Gearhead]

reply to peter_D...
yeh its tinted..back window and rear seat windows are tinted...i think its just the reflection mate...its okay normally! :)
yeh looking at either getting the alloys referbed and sprayed black..previous owner must have curbed it a few times cuz theres a few scratches :/

[Peter_D]
