Cmon matt, always do the more difficult kick first. what if its not possible to image that mid the same as the right and now you have no option?

Yes Mike I worked on them today, will be done tomorrow.

Routed all the speaker wires to the trunk

Tonight I did wire everything up for a audio test. Sounds amazing plenty of bass as well as crystal clear highs. Tomorrow I will sand primer and paint the pods and intall them.

Still to do:

Install rear camera
Paint and permanently install the pods
Wrap the sub box and floor install the plexi and neon lights

Simply put man, SICK keep up the great work. Take your time and do it right "as you are doing"

Today has been a bit busy, my father was suppose to deploy for Iraq today but after getting there and waiting 2 hours they had to delay it until tomorrow. Just got back home and will try to get a few things done today even though 5 hours was killed. Just a bit off subject but here is me and him.

To be honest did not get much done today. Between this morning and having to study for a math test tomorrow coming back from spring break, I got a few things done.

Got the left kick panel started and the right one starting the paining.

Holy Hell at the Bondo - a little heavy huh?

Ding Ding Ding!!!!

It looks like the surrounds of the subs may hit the floor? Maybe not? Also, if that false floor gets wet, it is going to bow up and splt.....MDF would be better here IMO. Maybe 3/8 inch.

You should wrap the kicks if at all possible.....If you don't wrap and continue to paint, you need to use what is called "icing" to touchup the imperfections in the bondo.

Oh yeah, glad the car is automatic.........no room for a clutch pedal with those kicks

WOW, are you getting in audio competition?

If you go with mdf and water hits that they will swell up like a sponge. Plywood is much better to go with for a floor. Subs are clear from the floor the plywood does not even get close to the woofer.

Not me the owner just wanted a nice system.

Yesterday and today starting to finish things up.

Power wire ran
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1827.jpg

iPod cables ran, one is for video and audio the other is for just audio and can be controlled threw the head unit.

Left kick panel going to require some work but will get it done. The hood release and all is a pain to work around.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1830.jpg

Wrapped the right panel.

Just a note the metal grill will be put overtop of the speakers.

Got the mat laid on the left panel today will sand it bondo and carpet it.

The trunk got wrapped, the top lip where the indent starts will be shaved for the plexi glass. That is why the carpet there is not defined cleanly.
