[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8805107, member: 656095"] I started the kicks today. I wanted to start a project that would have a faster turnaround. I also wanted to start working on the frontstage. I have been working from the rear forward which is kind of bass ackwards. The kicks will have two 5" ess sealed back midrange in each. I started with 2 layers of 3/4" mdf and glued them together. They aren't perfectly cut to be sure but when the filler is applied it is invisible. My inner hack is showing. lol [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220816_140714.jpg"]41673[/ATTACH] I took this picture for a reference in case anyone was curious. I didn't get many pictures of the deadening process I did on the floor. What you're looking at is 2 layers of deadener in an overlapped pattern with a layer of neoprene and finally the MLV. I used 2lb. per sq. ft. on the floor and will be using the same under the trunk liner. You can see it is secured but is still allowed to move. Anywhooo.. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220816_141449.jpg"]41674[/ATTACH] I hadn't posted a picture yesterday of the rear pass door being finished. Here ya go..
