*Teaser* Upcoming build: 1965 Pontiac GTO

[jeepintn 10+ year member]

This is for my father. The GTO is his baby and I finally convinced him that he should do a decent little system in it. Should sound a hell of a lot better than what is in there now.
More pics to come but for now here is the *** end

-Rebuild rear deck, cut metal of the deck to allow sub to vent into the cabin

-Custom box firing into cabin

-Rack for amp & crossovers

Both will be mounted on the shelf under the the deck

please tell me that this was reconsidered //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

No sorry no updates on this one. I was actually thinking about pulling it outside today and starting to run wires since its nice out for once.

For those worried about me cutting the rear deck:

I think you guys have the wrong idea in mind. I am not cutting out the entire rear deck, just a rectangle to allow a little more air into the cabin, there is already what apears to be a cutout for a 6x9 in the middle of it which I would just square off and maybe open a tiny bit more. Anyone who has followed my work knows I am not a hack and it will be fine. I have done this in 2 other older cars including a Boyd Coddington built 57 Chevy with great results.

well my boss's son still hasn't finished his tahoe so I still haven't gotten it up to my shop. I did a little more body filling on the door panels and bought a spool of wire to do some more speaker wire runs which i'll hopefully get most of the new wiring that needs to be ran done by next weekend then I can start the box. I did however wash it today!

Wash it? Good for you, at you did something today. You should take a look at what I'm planning on doing for my durango. Its not big, for the fact I dont have a job right now and my wife is working, oh and i dont have place to cut wood and make my system in. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=393740
