Wicked really appreciate it :)

I would also use some deadening sheets on the MDF panels inside. it helps keep everything uber dead (= more bass).
And as much as you can do in the boot itself.

lucky youve got a garage man! ours is full of my spares, tools and crap bikes LOL

headunit was £50, amp was £100 and the front comps and tweeters were £100 too.. along with sound deadening, wiring and the cost of my mate who's a sparky ahaha ;)

still gotta buy another amp and sub expensive ****

a nice new sealed and heated garage at that (just in the midst of an extension so it is double length at the minute)

well that's not too bad compared to others (all my stuff was free hehe) and you've made a pretty damn good job too so far

knowing someone who's in the trade is always usefull

Right!

Made a little front parcel shelf.. 6mm MDF







And then got some 'L' brackets and bent them a bit to mount the dash too, sits lovely now



And then messed with the headunit and amp and got the speakers sounding shweeeeeet!

Phone mic cant handle it haha!



The left speaker doesnt have its tweeter connected yet but they still sound great just resting the pods.. will mount it all when I get back!

Mocked up the center console too and looks proper neat! Oop, and the boot kit! Started bringing all the wiring through to the boot for the AMP.. but stopped pretty soonish as I had a stinking hangover from saturday night

Cheers lads n ladies!

Been away in spain for 2 weeks and got back and then went to devon for another week with the girlfriend and her fam.. so haven't done anything!

But in the gap I was back I quickly did this (you can tell it was quick haha )

Mounted the ciggy lighter and flick switch for the whole sound system so I can turn everything off all at once if I need to..

Got my eye on a JBL 14001 amp at the mo, which should be the dogs danglies if the price is right - can do 1200RMS at 4ohm

Then on the look out for a JBL 1014 sub, 350rms

Need to MOT the car first though then start doing the sub install

[Ruckus]

What's the right price? I have an amp that can do 1575 at 4 ohm for sale...
