[davidol]

looking great fair play, what are you doing stereo wise, we're about to do a mk3 cupra in work soon, we're gonna relocate the fasica panel to the sunvisor and leave the bulk of the unit in the glovebox

Proper job that! Looks like a lot of work going into it, should look good when finished.

Spooky, the post has been up an hour and we all decided to reply at the same time.

 

[acidstrato]

that is quite strange dude^^

now it looks a good job...im just not a fan of sticking wood in a car when it slows it down

then again the system itself will do this...still every bit of weight is essential...might aswell use a 1.1 at the end of the day?

 

[davidol]

it'll be a MDF + fibreglass, P40 and P38 filler combo, create a frame using MDF as a base and then use the P40 to build up the final shape and then filler using P38 to smooth it all out and give a smooth as glass finish before trimming/spraying

I know what you mean about the weight issue (power to weight and all that), but i for one HAVE to have a good system. Music is a big part of my life (how tacky does that sound?!) and i just can't be doing with a piss poor setup. All about priorities i guess.

Could IHI it though to overcome the problem a bit?

thats the stuff , the sub box top and door builds are bein sprayed and lauqord in the same paint as the car . the head unit is located in the roof and the rest of the unit is just under the glove box ,




the system will be 2 diamond tdx 15 inch subs and 2 sets of 6inch compnents in the doors, the whole car is couvered in dynamat so no more flexin pannels , then 2 amps for the subs and 1 amp for the doors, not to worried bout the speed lol once the 18s go on it wont be goin any where because it is goin supper low

Was there enought space behind the head unit there??Thats something different, looks cool

 

[scottys]

the bit in the roof is just the face , the rest of the headunit is under the glove box . u just join the 2 bits wid cat 6 works a tret . just a bit time consumin solderin both ends , u need a stedy hand other wise u join thm all together

 

[MK8]

[scottys]

Just a couple more updates

i have to admit, although that does look proper cool, i am very much a fan of a single 10" sub in a box, as light weight as possible, but gives a good enuff punch to listen to most music. My friend has on of the massive 10k watt JBL subbs. and its so loud it just kills everything else.
I like a sharp, but subtle base line, it thumps, but doesnt over power.
