Boot build so far....

[Barry]

Well, I got the MDF cut to shape last night and layed in the boot of the Sup to see how it looked... almost spot on first attempt, just needs a few bits trimmed here and there to make a better fit.

I'll get some photo's tonight of it layed in the boot to give you an idea of what it should roughly look like. I still need to cut out the two amp holes, but thats going to be the trick part. :)

Now all thats left is to lay all the cables and replace the front and rear speakers.!!! :( :( :(

Splash a load of dynamat around, make a few connections here and there, screw all the bits of wood together, lick the cuts on your fingers, trim the newly fabricated parts, repair any bit's of broken trim, adjust a few settings, cure a few rattles, re-adjust settings....

Then...

Decide that bits need improving and start again...

Damn good fun!:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

[Barry]

thanks Matt, I didn't need reminding about all that lot too.!!! :eek: :eek:

I built 3 sub enclosures in my Renault 5 before I decided I liked it.

[Barry]

Well, the cables are now all in place, wasn't as bad as I thought as everything practically just 'pops' out.

I now need to dynamat the boot (Mr Harwood, you there!), and start fitting all the mdf.

I'm not sure about the sub box at the moment, I may make up something a little bigger and put x2 12" subs in, instead of just 1.

:baa:

[Matt Harwood]

Hi Barry... Still got them for you
How soon do you want them?

[Barry]

asap really. Are you going to pod on Sunday?

[Matt Harwood]

Probably not... Wedding aniversary... depends if I'm allowed out to play;)

When's the next meet/show? - I can send them to you but that's almost the price of another roll:( - I'd rather spend a tenner on fuel and meet you half way...

[Branners]

Dont forget the Bluewater meet on Sunday 2nd June...thats only a week away now.

[Matt Harwood]

That's nice and easy for me too :)

[Barry]

Ok then, I'll go with that. I'll collect them from you at Bluewater.

[Barry]

Got the dynamat down in the boot yesterday (thanks Mat) and got the sub box and amp rack (false floor) put in too.

Then I realised its going to have to come out again when I come to fit the uprated fuel pump.! bugger!!! :(

Looks ok, but had a little hick-up with one of the amps... it decided to fall off the rack. Stronger mounting blocks required I think!

Things to do......

Pick up x-overs from a mate
lay even more speaker wires down
find a place to put tweeters (other than stock location)
Take out rear seat pannels and hacksaw out a hole
Make up new mounts for a pair of 7x10's
Buy a new battery
Listen to music.... :cool:

JB, look what's happening to your beautiful ex-car ????

[Matt Harwood]

Weight induction! :baa:

[Barry]

Na, I call it much needed improvements.

I cant listen to those stock speakers for much longer, and I miss the bass that I had in the 5 turbo. I listen to CD's wandering what happened to all the bass, you dont even notice it on a stock system.

[Matt Harwood]

Don't worry Barry, I'm with you all the way...

You can always improve a good car;) And the sound system has to be the crappiest part of the Supra

[Barry]

Almost there now, put the kenny tweeters in last night, and fed the last of the speaker wiring through.

All I need now is to pick up my new battery and also pick up a pair of kenny crossovers from a mate and connect it all up.

Oh, and Matt, thanks for those battery terminals, they look mental, I'll be keeping those thanks. And that material!!! I was only expecting enough to cover the speaker mounts on the door cards, but noooooo, you send me enough to re-trim the entire boot build too.!!! :)

If you going to the TorqueIC day this weekend I'll chat to you then.

:baa:

[Nic]

Barry have you got any photos of the build you could post?

cheers

[Barry]

Not yet as it doesn't look very tidy, I've still not finished covering it all, but I'll try and get some this weekend and post them up.
