jtbeche Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Install Pictures! Ok......I've had my stuff installed for a long time now but all I did at first was just throw it in there thinking I'd make it look better later. Well later came and went and I still haven't done it. So, any suggestions on making it look better or more stealth but still keeping the trunk functional?

ThrillKill Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Install Pictures! I had your same dilemma. Since it's my daily driver, I need to get at the spare and battery in an emergency. I used 2" builders foam sheeting and traced out the dimensions using the trunk mat, my amp and cap then cut out that portion with a jigsaw. I also hollowed out a channel underneath for the wire run, and covered everything with gray flannel using spray adhesive. Where the cd deck is and on the opposite side I cut and made hinges with duct tape under the flannel so it would fit without having to bend it. I lose 2" of trunk height but it isn't really noticeable. If I have to get at the trunk stuff, I just pull out the sub box and lift off the foam panel. I'm going to cover all with Plexiglas this week, just trying to figure out ventilation. (kitandsub007.jpg) Attachments ---------------- kitandsub007.jpg (33KB - 0 downloads) | ||

iNeon Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Install Pictures! I don't know if I ever got around to this you-know-where, but here ya'll go-- A cheap Aiwa deck, 2x4.25 pioneer 2-way in the front, 2x5.5(?) pioneer 2-way in the rear(had to re-engineer the back dash, was 2 speakers from factory) and a thrift store subwoofer(5 dollars!) in a box I built to replace the first-aid kit in the rear window. Can any of ya'll help me to design a better one out of MDF? I want it to be shorter, this one sounds OK, but I am not fond of how large it is, I know it will sound better in a solid box with a port instead of the plexi crap I built You may notice how fond I am of cheap shit heh heh (console.jpg) (rearshelf.jpg) (subwoofer.jpg) (sub.jpg) (box.jpg) (amp.jpg) (alldone.jpg) Attachments ---------------- console.jpg (53KB - 4 downloads) rearshelf.jpg (77KB - 1 downloads) subwoofer.jpg (19KB - 3 downloads) sub.jpg (57KB - 3 downloads) box.jpg (16KB - 2 downloads) amp.jpg (48KB - 3 downloads) alldone.jpg (71KB - 5 downloads) | ||

ttaleric Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Install Pictures! I like what you did with the dash, might be an awia, but it looks good. Where would you want to put the box? It wouldnt be that hard to think of a design for one. Tons of designs are all over the net! | ||

iNeon Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Install Pictures! I tried to make the grain follow the factory bits initially, but the veneer was not long enough. I did save enough bits of this direction to strip/recover another set of dashpieces in the vertical grain pattern that would better match in color as well, but finding an uncracked blue dash is presenting a big problem! There is no way I could take this dash off and not hurt it more! I digress... wait, I can just make a new post! | ||
