OK, bits are coming tomorrow.

Install starts NEXT weekend

[69.NIX]

ok.

The long awaited install has started.

Due to some logistical issues, My head deck is not yet installed. However, i have done all the pre-wiring possible before we get deck.

This post should outline how to feed the cables from the deck and battery to back of the car

Items already in my hot little hands

Power thru the firewall

Power behind the glovebox and the power distro panel

My dash

Power cable under the passenger kick panel

Power cable down the passenger side

Energy

Feeding signal cables from head deck, down past the gear shifter, under the centre console and under the rear carpet

The Head deck and other stuff will come soon :)

Stay tuned

Head deck installed today. ( in the work car park :P)

Pics will be up soon.

Just need to confirm the steering wheels control ting and I'm done there

Dinner powered by Levin ZR performance :P

MDF speaker mounts. Great for bass response

Front passenger with Hertz crossover and tweeter installed

Nice and neat tweeter installed

Not at this stage. The workshop has been closed for a bit due to unforeseen circumstances. Should be back in full swing next weekend :)

How did you go on the weekend, workshop open again?

Pretty easy car to work on i fitted a viper 1002 to mine on saturday.

[69.NIX]

Some progress made

Nice work, are you planning on doing a fibreglass box? When i get motivated enough i think ill get two 8" subs 1 in each corner should work well.

[Guest]

nice work pete, good to see your plans coming to fruition.

Thread Jacking

Here my efforts today, thanks for the words of wisdom today Pete B)

Dynamat Superlite.

Less exhaust note, more induction roar!!

Bit the bullet and ordered some Dynapad anyways, im a bit crazy....

[69.NIX]

dutchie, nice work...but now we can no longer be mates after this thread jacking :P

...but seriously good stuff

[69.NIX]

Some more done tonight / this morning

[Saiya]

How easy is it to install the Dynamat? Is it just like a double-sided padding of some type?

[dutchie101]

Yep its sticky thick gummy tar like butyl rubber backed onto thin aluminium sheeting. Pretty easy to work with, cuts easily with kitchen scissors, a small craft roller like Big Pete mentioned is useful for pushing it down firmly but not needed. I washed down the area with metho first to get better sticktion!

Easy.

Lookin good Pete!

oh that custom boot install is looking great. is that going to replace that carpet lift up thing in the boot? I've been thinking about how i should secure my sub and amp for the past 7 months, so i might give this a go when my exams are over.

[69.NIX]

yes, this will be a replacement for the stock boot carpet. I used that as a template for my floor cutout. I should be creating the trap door for the Tyre well this weekend and maybe installing the side bits :)

[pezzie]

this is sweet as, will definitely give it a go summer holidays. Do you reckon i might get rattleing in the boot if i have my sub installed like that? my car doesnt have any sound deadening.

[69.NIX]

if you lock it all down properly, there shouldn't be a problem

[69.NIX]

Boot walls are now sorted :)...and harrys for dinner :o

Next stage, trap door for spare tyre and some fibreglass :)
