backside view

this is the very top of the panel. this is how i had to lay it. came out pretty nice

all gluing is done and needing the excess trimmed off.

working it

panel is done!

no imperfections. nice and smooth. that's where i ended today. gluing the suede took a TON of my time today. i think i spent a good 3 and a half hours just with the gluing and trimming.

tomorrow i will work on the amp beauty panel i still need to trim off the excess fleece from the amp hole and remove some of the wood off it. then i'll set it in place.

wow, this thing is going to slam and look good doing it.

I hate when people have loud systems that just look like garbage.

thanks for the comments guys.

after i'm done with the sub section i still am considering on making the trunk lid beauty panel maybe add an LED sign thing into it.

also i'm really really really considering on ordering a second set of PG RSD 6.5s and running a set in each front door. i'll take a pic of the door and photo shop what i'm visioning.

alright. well not too much work has been done today. as soon as i got home from work i kinda just watched tv and passed out for an hour.

when i got up i got to work and started with the amp panel. i cut an X in the center cause i needed to relieve some of the stress that was put onto the glued areas. some of the areas at the amp opening has lifted. not too worried about it at the moment as i'll contact cement it back in place.

first what i had to do was cut down the wood trim that i made. the wood is about 1/4". i busted out the dremel and started trimming away with a cutting disk. the first 30 seconds of cutting and the wood was smoking! i laughed and took a vid. cutting the trim took a pretty large amount of time cause i was really heating up the dremel and gave it cool-down breaks. so while i was letting the dremel cool down i needed to find something to do. well i checked on the amps and stuff and i found that they were really dirty. i realized that i had removed the tape from the trunk pressure release opening. so i decided to make a little filter out of it. when that was done i then finished cutting up the trim of the amp panel and then gave it a little test fitting. i'm pretty pleased with it and am sure it'll look great when installed. can't wait for the end product!

onto the pics and vid.

wood that needs to be trimmed

here's the pressure release vent

using crazy glue and stretching spandex to create a screen

trimmed off excess

underside

took a new terry cloth, folded it up and stuffed it inside

side 2 covered and trimed

re-installed

a pic of the panel in place but not trimmed yet. this was right after i completed with the removal of the excess wood trim. it needs a little sanding and having the suede re-glued in some areas then it will be good to go.though i still need to do something with the trunk sway bar thing opening. i feel it's an eye sore. :/

more to come tomorrow.

I had one in mine also. Last truck system I had, blew the vent out partially. So when I would drive over something wet it would splash into the trunk. I said fvck it and sealed it off
