made my little enclosure thing for the mids/highs.

yes i know the bottom is warped.

it also serves as bracing for the 2 sides, it really strengthened them up.

Backseat in those cars is pretty much worthless anyway. Great car, good build.

ya its too small, one normal sized person can barely fit back there

is it gonna be all facing windsheild or hatch or roof?

i've never seen a wall that faced anyother way than forward.if it did it wouldn't be a wall:crazy:

what kinda wood is that? looks like plywood.

looks good niggie wish i was there to help haha

 

[ufvj2172]

lol its coming out good cuz Joe pro isnt helping LOL

the top part will be glassed with the mids/highs angled down at me at like a 22.5 degree angle.

the front baffle is 20.5" tall, and the overall diameter of the MT is 18.5" lol. ill have like 1" on top and bottom haha

well i made some mounting points for the wall. its ugly, but its the only way i could get the bolts in there. it will be covered though, so it doesnt matter lol

theres no bolts or mounting points at all up front (right behind the front seats)...only way i can get some bolts here would be to weld them to the floor...should i do that? is the gas tank right under that?

the wall WILL be in, and bolted down tomorow!

Yes below that is the fuel tank, no welding there!!!
