I made a new account on photobucket so I can at least upload the new pics while the old ones reset. The only reason I painted the mounts here is because you might be able to see the wood color through the factory covers that go over these, not really sure but I didn't want to come back and have to paint it later, otherwise these will be covered and no one will see them.

I got the two inline fuses mounted. There's no room in here, this is the best place I could find. The other option I had was mounting one of the fuses on the computer bracket but the plastic is thin and brittle. Also I could have mounted both of them to the inner plastic fender that is removed in this pic. I thought this was the best place though as it is most secure on this beam.

I'm back...

So now I bolted the power/ground wires in and yes I did check to make sure the sill cover will fit. Near the where the wires enter the cabin I used some existing screw holes, then on the sill side I drilled some holes .

Also I mounted up the rear speakers, the mounts don't look great but since they will be covered by carpet that doesn't really bother me. I did run into a problem where the top of the mount would have obstructed the rear shade from sliding on it's rails so I had to sand it flush.

Also the crossovers for the rear speakers were mounted with heavy duty velcro inside the speaker enclosure... if you were wondering where they were. I know it doesn't seem like it but it saves a lot of space in this car.

I mounted up the back sides of the front speaker enclosures so I can place the front part in the sill then lay the sill in, mark the front, then glass the two pieces.

happy new year!

I decided to make the passenger side enclosure a little different, covering the wires this way will make it easier to attach the other half on.

Nice work

Most recently I've been working on the front speaker pods. I was trying to figure out a way to attach the two pieces together accurately. Since they are molds of the sill if it's off by a bit the sill won't fit over it. So with the sill on over the pods I used hot glue and some dowel rods to glue as much of the two halves together as I could. This way the sill could be taken off with the pod attached in the right position. Then I fleeced the sides with hot glue and glassed them. The hot glue/dowel rods can then be removed.
