I was going to do that exact same set-up but with a 500/1 AND a cap I didnt have enough clearance!
good job though. i remember seeing your trunk as inspiration for mine!
Hey,
Excellent clean setup but im just curious about your sub box. Why do you have the two subs semi facing each other? Wouldnt that cause distortion or some problems at least? Thanks.
the sub box is actually made BY JL Audio for those specific subs. so however it is laid out I am pretty sure they wouldn't sacrifice quality for looks. sounds amazing!
just letting you guys know to watch the carpet on the wood piece that folds up. I didn't use alot of glue and it started to lift on the edges of the carpet. I re-sprayed it yesterday so its all ok now, but just letting you know to secure it with ALOT of spray glue. That way the heat of the trunk won't let it pull off.
I've had my rear part(the one closer to rear tail, cut with curves) done a year ago. Except that I was using 1/2" MDF and, due to lack of access to power tools, I gave up the front part. Took me about 3 hours using hand wood saw under 98 degree with 70% humidity in the afternoon to just cut the board. Not to mention reinstalling everything back to position.
diskreet how did you apply the carpet? should have wraped it around the sides and underneath and stapled it from the bottom
you never want to apply too much glue of any kind, it could seep through your carpet if you are not careful and then you have a real mess on your hands
from what I have heard, spray glue is really crappy stuff, contact cement is what I use and it's the shiznat. don't have to apply too much and i have never had any problems with the carpet lifting off the wood.
I used 3m Super 77 spray adhesive. bonds almost anything. works well
I will staple the carpet on the piece that lifts up if i get access to a staple gun ever. till then I HAVE fixed it from sagging (cause I forgot to spray under it well)
so it works well for me!
edit: yeah its around the sides and bottom but I only glued not stapled... yet
Which carpet is the one u ordered? from crutchfield the charcoal or carpet silver. im not sure which one it is for mine, I have a silver vic like so our carpets should be the same. Cuz i want to order it but don't want to get the wrong one.
