man i can fit 15"s in a fastback, but i want this install to come throught the rear hatch access panel.

Ok Im working now on a restored 67 mustang fastback, hot car, The fastback refers to the rear seat which falls down flat so you can laydown and view up through the rear glass. There is a rear trunk access panel visible when the seat folds down. I was going to build a fiberglass replacement for...

look into aftermarket fan replacements, not electric, it may also be the fan clutch that has a bad bearing or something, you could slap some dynamt extreme (just b/c of the heat) under the hood and on the firewall, that should keep the engine noise down. Yeah electric is sweet, if you have a...

yea what he said. your ignition will have 3 wires, its not smart to be cutting and adding wires to them, but on many cars there are sometimes accesory fuse spots that will only turn on when the car is on, that is actually how ive rigged up most of my smaller accesories when i do installs.

all a remote is is a positive line, so if it gets current its on, run a switch in line with what you did, that will act as a (loud) button persay, just remember to turn it off when the car is off

hahaha yeah That carpet is awesome stuff, they sell it at autozone in rolls for like 10 bux in blue gray and black , it took one roll to to that, but it glues really well with 3m super 77 spray adhesive. I use it making door panels in my bus too His truck is a piece, he just keeps trying to...

just make alot of measurements, cut a little extra everytime and then keep checking it to see if it fits. i only will make clean installs i hate the look of a box just sitting there just look at the install i did the post before this

well the back and bottom are mdf since they are flat. but its cut to exactly fit, and it wont come out, everything that is visible is glass. I would have charged more but he was a friend and he didnt need to have it sanded and smoothened since i was using carpet . it could have easily doubled...

I just finished this install for a friend i know abahn, but he wanted to go cheap, its a dual chamber fiberglass box, the carpet still needs to have some slack cut out and more glue. Im fabbing up a aluminum bar amp rack for the center between the two subs. in all it costed me around 300 for all...

you wanna talk about ghetto fab, that system is gonna be more than the car, itll be a f'n sweet system

use a long ruler, or what i use a chalk line. any excess is your measurment problems. and he was helping you by stating that an overlapp doesnt help. remeber its all about the seal, mdf is really strond even at tight angles, it wont make a difference if it has a 1/2 inch overlap or none at all...

oh there is plenty of braces. I made ribs (6) the outermost two were solid triangular to create a better seal rather than going to points. from the side the back mdf is set at around 65-70 degrees. I can stand on it (120lbs) and it doesnt even make a creak, Im not too worried about how rigid it...

yeah ive done that, i guess all thats left is testing the beast....

Do any of you do this? what do you use, a spray deadener or just fill it with resin, I want to eliminate any vibration and possible small leaks, any thoughts fir the glass box, i had posted pics earlier

awesome, im guessing the alpine has a built in battery too... hmmm
