[ssh 924]

Thanks guys.

looks amazing stef ... What amazing looking mids!!!! :fing34:

[ssh 924]

So I'm redoing the rear cargo area where the amps, processor, and battery are. Plus a false floor gives me more room for an enclosure to sit on top.

Mockup, 11/3

11/4

Still need to do some sanding around the edges where the heatsinks protrude. I'm thinking about doing a piano black finish on the false floor and battery spot.

Any thoughts, tips, etc?

[Shogen 325]

nice!!!

False floor is looking good! Can't wait to see the finished product!!

I say to carpet the false floor the same color as the factory carpet. I would also do some kind of plexi inlay to product the amps/processor.

I think carpeting would blend in better then the piano finish, but man do I hate wrapping stuff. How much easier is it to wrap a panel a in carpet then vinyl? At least this panel is large so there isn't too many sharp curves.

I think carpet would look better. Going to throw any fans down in there? Would look cool to do some LEDs around the edge of it? Keep up the work and detail!

Looking Good Sir !!!

I don't think heat will be an issue, that's why I left parts of the sides open and top cutouts.

No leds, makes it a Bitch backing up at night, can't see shit.

[ssh 924]

Fuckers, making me wrap shit.

I hope you have a seizure:

Just gotta wrap the sides and cut excess vinyl. It's not perfect, but I'm content with the outcome.

[Ohjay 116]

fancy!

[ssh 924]

fancy!

Well now I have lots of space for an enclosure.

I was thinking of an 18" icon, hmm.

[Ohjay 116]

sealed 18" Icon would go sweet with that front stage

[emh9009 199]

Looks very nice. Now wire that battery up!

[S.DeYoung 968]

Badass, how did you like working with the vinyl? 18" huh? I would go with something smaller and more manageable. Looking forward to more progress either way.

[Luke.H 33]

That looks amazing Stef. I don't know why you hate wrapping, you're pretty damn good at it

[The enD 467]

Looking good, Stefan.

Makes me wanna install shit too.

I wasn't done wrapping the top panel and painting everything. Now the amps are installed and the battery is wired up.

I hate working with vinyl, I hate wrapping. I don't need lots of room and even with an 18" I'll still have plenty of room and maintain some excessive output when it is desired. I am going sealed after all.

That looks amazing Stef. I don't know why you hate wrapping, you're pretty damn good at it

Wrapping the flat top panel is simple, until you get to the edges and curves then shit gets bad.

Looking good, Stefan.Makes me wanna install shit too.

Looks great man!!! Wish I had the time and tools to do all that.

Looks great man!!! Wish I had the time and tools to do all that.

Appreciate it. I wanna say it took around 16 hours split between three days.

Table saw, jigsaw, dremel, clamps, wood glue, spray adhesive, and a few other small things here and there.

I think the table saw is what I really couldn't get my hands on.

I didn't have one for a while and couldn't make straight cuts with the jigsaw, totally sucked if I tried making an enclosure. Finally got a tablesaw a while back, this is first time I actually used it for something.
