Cheers guys, I am very happy with how it is looking as well - just hope that the sound quality reflects the effort and time outlayed already!! Time will tell.

You are all welcome for a demo listen - might be an expensive trip all the way to Australia though!

Sam I did think about the carbon fibre - would look sweet indeed, I've never worked with it though....so maybe next project!

Now to tackle the sub box and get it sorted!

If only everyone could learn as well and do as well with what he's learned! Very nice. Next is tuning. Let us know how it sounds.

Slipped in the Dyns for a trial fit tonight just to tease myself....


...can't wait to hear these running! I intentionally set them in quite far so they aren't damaged as feet will be brushing past them often!

Awesome job, but I wouldn't have expected anything else considering your work so far!

How are you going to fix them to the car, are them some hidden fittings bonded in?

Three M6 stainless bolts with nylock nuts hold them in place (two to a-pillar area, and one through firewall). Also they are an "interference fit" which means I have made them very snug (hard to get them in!) so they'll be nice and secure.

Marked out filler panel for the sub box....


...so I knew how far to apply the filler to provide further strength and to smooth out the bumps.


Bolted in the drivers side kick panel this evening - certainly isn't going to rattle as it is tight to get in and the three bolts with nylock nuts make them very secure.


Fortunately managed to run the speaker wiring fairly discretely. Tomorrow the passenger side will go in.
