[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8653518, member: 633600"] In previous cars ive noticed that the PSIX amp can get very hot. So we decided to add fans. Matei made the baffle, installed and wired them. This was his, and i quote "favorite part of this install".. weirdo. The baffle was painted black to match. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/PafvM4b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/GXdp6eW.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/B0qfcCK.jpg[/IMG] On to the beauty panels. When kevin came in he helped make a template for the beauty panels. He make the overall shape, then we all decided on what would look best in terms of cut outs, and he cut them out. Thank you Kevin. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/QLabUpP.jpg[/IMG] The panels all were rabbeted on the underside to account for material thickness. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/hp4WC77.jpg[/IMG] test fit with acrylic in place [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/XrD3M0Y.jpg[/IMG] Start of the enclosure. made from 3/4" Birch and fiberglass. The bottom edge of the sides were cut as closely as possible to match the profile of the trunks floor. 5 layers of biaxial mat, and some regular 1.5oz mat on the sides were used for the bottom side of the enclosure. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ZcC7WPq.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/OvAnwWn.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/sMMROi0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SKp8kXr.jpg[/IMG] Filled and wired. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/VBkfN7C.jpg[/IMG] The top of the enclosure was used as a template for the sub enclosures beauty panel. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/cDtyoQ1.jpg[/IMG] Everything installed.. 100% hidden with zero compromise. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ktQWN3k.jpg[/IMG] The woofers were flush mounted and the enclosure was wrapped in black suede while the panel was wrapped in black vinyl. I love the look of the contrasting textures. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/16GDInd.jpg[/IMG] And the amp rack all finished. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BvxWVvL.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Yhx9Z6L.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BJr0ZE5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/FZn9MPY.jpg[/IMG] Thanks again for looking! And i promise i will get the pics of the rest of the install tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
