Took em both out...customer can't have airbags anyways...had an injury, and they could kill him.

lol im sure the survival rate in a head on goes up steering wheel vs air bag ...... in many states its illegal to remove air bags....case in point west coast customs pays fines per air bag taken out ......

The guy has a note from his doctor prescribing him to have them removed..so we did, but I agree, they should usually be left intact....gonna put us up to pro at the shows I guess too, but it's all fun.

The car hits nice...not sure what yet, but the doors alone sound like a pair of good 10's, and they're crossed at 60 hz and up.

If I had to guess, I'd say we're getting near 150.

I like it and since he can't have airbags I guess that's cool but don't see how the impact of an airbag would kill him less than an impact of a dash or steering wheel. to each their own though.

What's in the trunk lid that there's a huge *** string of wires running up there?

very nice- very creative with the glasswork/alien head- doors look killer as well

Tanks guys...we spent the better part of 6 months gettin this together....the pics don't really do it justice for sure.

Um ...air bag issue has something to do with a low speed impacts I guess...not sure tho as I didn't really get into it with him...was just glad to have a nice place for a front screen lol.

I wanted a total "alien" theme, so I got those huge House of Kolor prism flakes and put them on with the first coat of clear to give a "star" effect. 4 more coats of clear to bury the flakes....started sprying at midnite, left for an hours sleep at 8 am, and back to it by nine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif 14 pieces in all to paint!. Turned out not too bad for my first paint job, but I think a good cut, buff and polish will make it a bit nicer. Kinda looks like dust in the pics, but they really are stars!

All Fusion PowerPlant equipment. FPC-65 comps up front (2 sets), set of tweets in the dash, the other in the kicks.

Powered by a FP-1402 2 ohms for the mids...280 watts per door, and an FP-402 for the tweets, 2 ohms, 80 watts a side.

Doors are .6ft...tuned to around 60Hz. Was a lot of research to figure that one out. No specs available for the drivers, so had to measure them myself....that took a day and a half to get right.

Laid some glass to the door, then mada a mould of the OEM panel edge, attached that to the back, formed some ports, made some rings, then glassed the whole mess.

These doors have a good 6 dB gain with the ports, over a sealed or IB design.

2 FPW-1200 subs off a FP-9001D Class D amp @ 1 Ohm....1100 watts.

There's still a bit of tuning to do, so I don't have the loom on the cables to the trunk lid yet. The sub boxes were another challenge to port.

Made the alien head, and set the small amp, battery, and power dist under it.

Carved the face into the plexi, but don't have a good pic yet of it lit up....it's ghostly in green.

Custom console, 4 buckets, a bit of dash paint work, and lots of restoration to the plastic to remove the gouges and scratches.

Body kit was lots of fun to fit too. was close, but no cigar when we got it, so we had to massage that for a while to get it tight.

I would like to know how the farthest part from the speakers was glassed on the door pods... or was it glassed on the outside?

I started by laying the back onto the door, then made a reverse mould of the door skin, bolted it to the door, and laid glass up to the mould. Then I glassed from the back up the the top half of the OEM panel. That gave me 5 sides of the box, then I wrapped grill cloth over that to get the front.....none of that fleece crap in here,,,all matt 5 layers thick, then grind, sand sculpt, and bondo to finish it.

The original screw insets were retained, as was the outside shape of the panel.

Bolts glassed into the top edge attach the pod to the upper half of the door panel, and it all goes onto the door like stock except for one screw behind a speaker.

You can hardly feel the door move from the outside, but it slams on the inside. I'd be happy with just a set of these pods with no subs at all...maybe I'll do it again one day for my own ride.

I rubbed those panels a lot more than my wife for a while....she's glad it's almost done lol.
