Is looking good there, not sure on the filler idea, I got some glass re enforced plastic padding, used that as a filler. Once set is a dark green colour but that wont have much difference once it is all trimmed.

Is that the stuff they sell in the 'tins' in Halfords etc (ie like a short paint tin type thing )

Nice box, but did you think of the (ultrasonic/radar) alarm detector which is behind the recess in that panel?? That angled part in the middle of your new box...

That's part of the reason I didn't take the wood fascia outside the 'cubby hole/parcel shelf' area, the wood face has been cut around the protrusion - the part of the box in front of the alarm I have made solely from fibreglass and left relatively thin (about 3mm) - tho of course I've had to put the speaker spacer ring on now too

If I have to, I'll turn up the sensitivity, but don't really want to go down that route as I couldn't get the shelf out at all when I tried a few months ago (seemed to be stuck in place ) so it would be a right PITA getting to it (and I wouldn't want to risk making it too sensitive so it goes off if I leave the roof off (it's already a bit over-sensitive))

no effect on mine either

All finished





All seems to be air tight - tested on the midi system
I gave up on the idea of using the post type cable points, and just ran the cable through the front of the box (cuts down on noise causing connections

Finally got a dry enough friday to fit it in Sounds AWESOME The JBL GTO 6.5" components sound soooo much better attached to an amp too

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

Top Tuning !!!!

[mandarinvx]

I really can't believe how good it sounds - I'd at least expected to have to wait to 'break it in' a bit

This is the amp I bought didn't look at the specs as I know the guy in the shop so just followed his advice!
It's set at two thirds volume for each channel at the moment, and I cant turn it up to full on the head unit - great little amp (especially for the price)
