im hiding as much as i can //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yea im on my350z forums same screen name. Im goin to install those pdx amps inside the cubby behind the passenger seat. You goin to a 16psibrick type install where the subs in the tire well?

Any tips on how to finish the front and get it ready for painting to match my car?

nah, im gonna keep everything hidden //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif .

im going for a completely stock appearing install, with a three way active front end, and im goint to put the sub in the stock location.

im keeping it as simple as i can, but i am going to custom paint some stuff to match the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you gotta showcase the LS color //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

gotta go fiberglass man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

either just coat the piece you have, or make a custom piece going from the rear most piece of the strut covers to the sub. wouldnt be a hard piece to make, and it would look pretty killer once its painted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Can i resin the board and sand it or do i have to lay actuall fiberglass mat? 16psibrick is goin to build my set of kicks for my componets.

looks good man. i really wanna hear wone of the tcoems. they just look so **** sexy.

paint? fuck that. fill all the screw holes (hope they are countersunk) with some spot putty. then sand with a block (2x4 with some 80 grit wrapped around it) and get er nice and smooth. then wrap in some nice quality black vynl. that would be super classy.

A nice vinyl would really look good. I want something other than carpet.

 

[hoss 5,000+ posts]

i second the vinyl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[mr_kebo 10+ year member]

[mr_kebo 10+ year member]

definitly dont listen to "someone" lol.

unless you want kind of fluffy looking vinyl. but IMO, vinyl needs to be sharp, straight, and laid correctly.

 

[mr_kebo 10+ year member]

Yea i agree. just checking since ive never layed vinyl before i will probally have a local shop do it for me.

that piece shouldnt be hard at all to do, seeing as how its all straight //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif .

id give it a go myself, if i were in your shoes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif .

btw, i ran wires through my Z this past weekend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif . that has got to be the easiest car EVER to take apart lol. once my car gets back from the body shop, its time to hook up all the speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
