2fnould's build log

should have gone with 4 x 10" back there. serioiusly though, i'd really like to put 10" on the sides, but it would require a lot of modding.

beautiful work thus far! did you rip the cloth off the rear speaker panel covers? i did it on mine. wash & scrub for 2 minutes in a sink, and it's a lovely black. incidentally, it matches my custom from speaker panel covers very well.

p.s.
what did you use for spacers on the 6x9's? the magnet on my pioneers also sticks out a bit too far. i didn't use any spacers, i just tightened the screws down until the gap was equal on all sides.

I didn't rip the cloth off, I did the same thing you did, and used black non-hardening modeling clay to seal the speaker. Seal the speaker, I literally could here the characteristics of the speaker change as I sealed it off.

i'm not THAT much of an audiophile. and like i said, i'd like to put some subs in there someday. i've got enough high-end with the 220gto's & the coaxial 6.5's in the doors.

Looking fan-tastic, Steve.

Love to hear that.

Wish mine was here; stereo is more-or-less next...fraaking turbos.

I will be getting back into it once the nights are warm, about the only time I get to work on it. Steve does not pull and pry old plastic interior parts when it is cold, they are brittle enough as is.

I have been thinking about a way to add a 4th amp so my front stage can be active x-over vs passive x-over. I have all the equipment to do so, need need to come up with good layout.

what about on the underside of the hatch? I've been toying with that idea myself - you'd have to get slightly creative with how to properly attach it (maybe a couple small pieces of wood between the attached to the hatch metal sandwiched between the hatch plastics) but it's doable

You should not mount an amp upside down, the amp's heatsink will not be nearly as efficient. PLUS routing all the wiring would be a pain / cluster mess.
