You building the box yourself, or having it built. I'm hoping to start my audio upgrade sometime this year. I also want something to put in behind the third row seat to house maybe 2-12's. Cant wait to see your box finished.

pre fit to see how much room we have left

sub amp rack test fit

both amp racks on and apeaker rings sitting there to get an idea how its going to look

 

[ghostface]

mounting the speaker rings

one side clothed

both sides clothed

waiting for the resin to dry

once that is done i can sand, add some bondo, then sand again. the box is going to be covered to match the leather interior. im putting a blue light under the top amp rack, and those are going to have a cover over them. top amp rack will be mounted after the bottom amp is put in. stay tuned, i still got the rest of the stereo to do once my wiring harness and amps come in.

[WrenchGuy]

finally had a chance to work on the box again.

bondo, not pretty but its going to be sanded

doesnt look smooth but it is

body filler primer

subs testing out there home

 

[shawnallansls1]

sweeet work man...

 

[ghostface]

pulled the subs back out to add some resin on the inside to seal it and strengthen it some. 2morrow ill run the wires thru it and get the vinyl/carpet im a use to cover it in.

 

[ghostface]

so finally had some time to get back on the box.



test fitting the amps and racks again. we didnt like the way the top amp rack look so we had to change it some. we decided to round the front and the rest of the edges on it.

carpet and vinyl on. i know the carpet doesnt look that clean but you wont see that part

this is it finished. we are going to go back and put some trim around the carpet to flow it into the vinyl better and fix that bottom amp cover to get rid of the small gap

sorry for the bad pic( i need a tripod) but the amp colors are blue, and we added a neon under the bottom amp for a little more depth
