Type R install. **56k beware**

[skeptikal Premium Member]

Well since my spring break was this week, a buddy of mine has an older M3 that he wanted a complete trunk build in. so we got some materials and got to work

Box = 2+ cubes sealed:

Now for the build in..

wood anyone?

nice little test fit, i like test fitting

floor put down and carpeted

box with trim panel attached and carpeted

final shot...

The silver L-brackets have tiny strips of the matching color carpet over them now so they are no longer visible. I also got a vid of the Type R's moving. Amp is only putting out ~ 500w @ 4 ohms. But the install came out great and looks pretty good. The customer was happy with it as well as i was.

Customers install cost = $325.

Comments?

Looks really clean, how long overall did it take you?

 

[skeptikal Premium Member]

right around 4 hours for the actual building and cutting of all the wood, and 4 hours to install/carpet everything

so ~8 or so, give or take an hour

8 hours isn't too bad, good job. And that file hosting site makes me click a link 20x to see the vid....try youtube or photobucket.

i like it, i think you should have took more time to build it, 1 cuz you can still see behind the box, maybe alot of other people dont pay attention to detail but i think you could have completely enclosed it, and also the trim panel doesnt fit perfectly over the subs, theres a gap in some areas. nice build though, i like it. how does it sound?

It sounds great lol. Yeh I was kind of pressed for time and the guy really just wanted it done. But it came out ok for us. More builds soon to come =)

It looks really good man, did you break in those subs at all? Im a noob and idk if I need to break in my subs or anything before I bump them.

meh... a single color of carpet would probably looked better.

$325 is not bad though, considering you dont work in a shop or own one; yeah right on.

What's up with the wasted space on the sides? the white boxes?
