[Laura]

Well i had a day off work so i put plans into motion to start work on my build

10ish and i started work

the original install came out

My workshop for the day

the after i cut the box peices i lent them together to check they all fitted

shocking parking at B&Q

Glued and screwed together

Then the 1st layer of the floor

Adding the support beams

square hole as its all going to be smoothed down do it looks solid underneith and that would be a MASSIVE ball ache witha circle lol

as for weight.... all weighs less than the spare so am losing weight hehe

plus my spare is a 15 and my wheels are 16s so its the wrong size anyway

 

[dannyboy172]

Spare wheels are for girlies...oh wait...

 

[Chrisjk]

Taylor, if ur still in the process of doin it all, dynamat the floor, will improve sound and stop the rattles from the wood on metal

 

[Vern]

[rustybolt]

ner ner ne ner ner...

 

[leighk18]

la la la la ...

 

[MrMark]

nee nah nee nah

 

[Jaffa182]

ner ner ner ner, lookin good so far, but i spot you have your power wire running next to your rca leads! thats a big no no!

Do you not get loads of distorsion??? The best thing to do for better sound quality is run the rca's down the drivers side.

Hope this helps, Jaff

myth imo, I have them both ran down the passenger side and it doesn't distort at all.
Nice looking build there Taylor, much better than my effort.

 

[InSoMnIa]

emm ive been thinking about this for a while now so i can regain my boot space looking good!

 

[ollie]

Very good work Will look mint when done. I'm findin life without my sub hard :rasp: I may need to just get one -_-

 

[Laura]

RCAs power cables = load of tosh.

makes NO difference at all. get decent RCAs ans decent power cable and its reet

Just need to decide what to trim it in now lol... suggestions?

 

[Christopher]

are you sure you're female?

i'd trim it in alcantara if you can stretch to it. if not, try to source some fabric that matches the colour of the OE carpet?

 

[Chrisjk]

the same colour fabric as the origional flooring, keep that manufacture look
