How i made the install....

 

 

i started with a base to which the stretchy matirial would be attatched to.

then i made some rings for the speakers to be atacthed to and for the material to stretch around, they are on stilts which will be removed at a later date, their just to hold the rings in place...

then i put the stretchy material on and pinned it into place, then soaked it in firbegalss resin mixed with hardener....and left it for about 48 hours to dry properly

this is an inside shot with the stilt removed, you can see how smooth it is...

then i got some fibre glass matting and placed it on and used a paint brush to put the resin on...(USE GLOVES, it goes everywhere!)

Then leave that for about 48 hours or more, then i put Easy Sand body filler on to give it strength and also to make it easy to smooth, i ended up with about 1cm of filler all the way around,

I then chopped it in half and set about making it fit my boot, i removed the base i made at the begining (as it was made for my old car) and then firbe glassed the pod to this base i made for my corrado boot....

I then got a board for the back for the amp, and did a little more sanding, still quite a way to go tho! I also put it in to see how it sounded, it sounds GREAT!

I then Set about spending about 20 hours finishing it, this is after the sanding and with grey primer, i SHOULD of used 'filler primer' but i didnt so i had to do alot of sanding, spraying, sanding, spraying etc...

then i used the CORRECT primer for the pearlessant paint i was using, this was a filler primer which helped!

This is the colour i chose, pearlessant Rover trophy blue found on MG's.

I then set about spraying, leaving about 30 minutes between coats, i had 2 heat lamps on them from above which helped.

I then laqured them, about 4 cans worth, i wanted the to be REAL shiny!

Then laqure you HAVE to put on it thin coats, this took about a week to do, 2 hours every night leaving 30 mins between each coat WITH heat lamps on them...

DSC00588.JPG

 

then put them in my car, oh how shiny!

and i also made myself a parcell shelf to mount my mirror onto...

and i also set my second amp onto the floor, one amp for subs, other for my in-car speakers and the REAR speakers, i can unplug the REAR speakers so i only have the on for show perposes etc, no point having them on whilest im in the car...
