Project Sound Q

[TUNGSTENGREYWIDOW]

If you are reading this you know I did not trade in my 6s for a speed. Way to much for the monthly and i'm upside down like a mofo. So I took that down payment money and started my build. I will post pics of every step from dynamating to fabing the trunk, kicks, other things. the build should take roughly 2 months being that I work on it once or twice a week. The only thing I am waiting for now is my camera from dell. I have already dropped the headliner, a, b , and c pillars and sent them to interior, and the roof has been dynamated. Next will be the floors and innner and outer skins of the doors. Following this will be the pre wire of the car and kick panel fab and trunk fab stay tuned. Cam should be here in 3 to 5 days per dell. I will start photos the same day I get it.

Save a few bucks. Use KnuKonceptz wiring and raammat sound deadening...otherwise you're just paying for the name.

I'll be curious to see how you do the kicks. I popped mine off and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to remove all the wiring and hardware on the driver's side.

 

[TUNGSTENGREYWIDOW]

I got a deal on all the wires and dynamate from my job. I change the speakers cause the Focals work better and sound better to me, and there was no way the 5 1/4 was going to fit properly. I got my cam so I will take some pics today.

you may want to reconsider the capacitor, in most applications they are quite worthless. there are pages and pages of explanations/rants etc over on sounddomain.com, i'm a patron over there. instead look into doing the "big 3 upgrade", to help with your electrical system:http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/312025/page/1#Post312025

I agree about the cap but to each his own. I run a 1f cap mostly because it has a fused distribution block on top and I bought it ages ago for another install. They were a must back when amps all had unregulated power supplies but the power supplies they make now (if you buy a decent amp) pretty much make caps useless.

How can I post a pic without using a url?

 

[chuyler1]

Click "Go Advanced" and then click "Manage Attachments".

However, if you want to embed the photo full-size in your post you should go to "User CP" at the top of the page and select "Upload Files" on the left. From there you can add images to your account. Copy the URL for the image and place it in {img}{/img} tags (use square brackets instead of curly ones though).

Make sure you do the wheel wells, that's where a majority of the road noise comes from.
