It's finally finished! Mostly. There's still a couple bugs to be worked out, and the tuning (which I'll need help with) and some cosmetic things to fix. I just got sick of messing with it, so some of the pieces aren't as perfect as my perfectionist self would like them. I'll finish them eventually.
The install, including taking it apart, sound deadening, and putting it back together took about 25 hours over the course of a few days. The whole fabrication process probably took 150 hours, and could have taken several more to get it perfect. So far it sounds great, inside and out. The sound dampening really did the trick, and you can hardly hear any of the bass outside. Anyway, here are some pics. Click the pics for big ones. I'll be glad to answer any questions. Enjoy! Edit: Forgot to include a link to a video. I recorded it at night to see the needles moving on the amps. Turn the audio down, it sounds terrible. The poor little phone couldn't handle the awesomeness http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...515_222255.jpg Driver side kickpanel, primed and ready to be painted http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...515_222316.jpg Notice the notch missing? That's what happens when you build the whole stupid thing, and then decide to actually try and push the clutch down while test fitting. You end up cutting a corner out so the clutch can travel freely. Haha, at least it's way up under the dash. No one will ever see it. http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...516_112626.jpg Driver side, painted and ready for installation. http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...428_181748.jpg Passenger side kickpanel primed. I ended up cutting off the end with the holes. I couldn't get it to fit right with the running board piece. http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...428_223307.jpg http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...428_223318.jpg http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...429_180704.jpg A couple of progress pictures during the painting. http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...505_183109.jpg Oh no!

Whew! And one of my car looking cool in a WalMart parking lot. |
Wow... just wow. Really awesome work. Very nice!
|
Very nice, I bet that took a lot of time!
|
That is EFFEN SWEET man. You can definitely tell by the hrs that you lists that the craftsmanship is really really good. That looks extremely professional. I am very impressed. Absolutely love the setup.
|

|

That's a big install. With the gear you have, that should sound amazing! Focals/Macs/AC are great combinations. SQ should be awesome. I could not tell what imaging would be like because i could not figure out the angles of the left and right kick panels. Could not tell where the reference or sweet spot is in the car. Granted its the midbass so it may be less of a big deal.
With the amount of gear, bondo, glass, and cables, your car is now just as heavy as the Z33. Great work! |
The kickplate speakers aren't obtrusive??? Looks likt the passenger one is much worse than the driver's side...
By the way, your list of components and everything installed, WOW :tiphat: McIntosh is my favorite by a mile! SOOO MUCH (as Jeremy Clarkson would say) POWWWWEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! |
