Hey peeps

Here is a thread progress of my car.

First up is the sound install that i did with G-Reddy Sound Installs

Most of the hardware is from my older Corsa D and it was just transplanted into the new car... but this time with added thought as to how to display the AMP's and accessories etc. Neatness was the key factor.

So i had an idea of creating a sort of facia plate to place everything on it so that the wires can be tucked away behind it for neatness.

Here are some pictures :michaeljackson:


The initial layout and equipment used:

Image

RCA's, component Speakers and remote cable wiring

Image

More Equipment

Image

Sound Deadening Material

Image

These are my Infamous TENS from the old setup which Pushed 144.7 DBzzz

Image

These are the new TWELVES i got... VIPER SERIES

Image

And all thee above is going into the boot of my beloved... :opellogo:

Image

Installation commences...

Image

Placements and templates for display

Image

Image

Image

After laying the basic wiring and power cables in the car we decided to go get some refreshing inspiration (6 packs ) :drunk: and on the way we found this amazing rainbow which seemed so close to us... thought we were gonna find that pot of GOLD

Image

Then i got down to applying the sound deadening... this was quiet fun actually, besides the 1st degree burns lol!!!!

Doors

Image

Boot lid

Image

Image

Image

Put some on the back board... honestly dunno how much that would help but i put it anyways :lolsign:

Image

The base bracket for the facia plate

Image

The Decided Layout mounted onto plate

Image

Reinforced OEM Custom back board lol

Image

Installation .. .. ..

Image

Image

Components install.. .. ..

Image

Door cards and OEM speakers out

Image

Fully Sound Deadened

Image

Image

Custom Baffles made for Components

Image

Image

Its all coming together :highfive:

Image

Image

First Time switch on... all power on and stable :claugh:

Image

Image

Wood for new Box build

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And Final Product.... :beerbong:

Image

1st place for both the 10s and 12s... yup thats right, i enter both classes lol!

Image

Next up...

Carbon Wrap for the roof...

This seemed very easy at first but DAAAM was it a nightmare!!!
spent quiet some time measuring and aligning let alone the actual application of the wrap!!!
Bought the "bubble free" one but is was no where near that lol!!!

Image

Image

Image

Image

its looking good Vitesh. certainly achieved your goal, it looks very neat. now if only more people would take as much pride in their installs as you do. Even some shops could work on their neatness. and i agree sterlingesterhuizen on the black roof on a white car, it just workso well.
