Fabulous!

craftsmanship.......how old are you?

Really dumb question but why did you relocate battery to the boot?

Steve

quality mate

27 years young. the battery hasnt been relocated its a second one run off a second alternator.

Stunning.......:thumb:

just one more, not the best of pics its off my phone at night. http://http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39...y/23052006.jpg

What was the yellow material you used to cover the box?

Cookie :)

its a leather look vinyl, a metre by 54inch £15. really impresed with the look of it.

Looks awesome... very nice mate... looks like alot of effort has gone into it...

yes a fair bit of effort, lots of late nights and a few cans of beer, but i think it was worth it.

clean install

^^very nice install :)

Excellent job. At first I thought the battery was staying bang in the middle of the install. Where is it now? Spare wheel recess?

That looks great! Must have taken a while but no doubt enjoyable!

yes in the wheel well with another false floor over the top.

Excellent.

One thing is you will have no problems with ear wax now !!!!!!!

ive already got tinnitus , i put it down to the years of silly sound systems. but still i carry on buildin bigger and better, only myself to blame. o well turn it up. :cuckoo:

that looks lovely mate:thumb: really good job, just wondering how much dynamat it took to do the booy, how much it was,
cheers

8 rolls of dynamat at about £22 a roll, but that was doin up the wheel arches into the rear quarters and the boot lid. its a much needed part of the system.:thumb:

Attachment 60633 Mate did you keep any measurements and instructions so we can build one:thumb:

Sweet job! :luxhello:

ive kept a few measurments but to be honest alot of it has been guess work, its just been a case of cut the wood if it dont fit cut another until ive been happy with it. just sort of made it up as ive gone along.:thumb:

very nice how ever i cant bring my self to fill my boot with half a ton of mdf but still that looks good all most make me want to :)

looks lovely, wish I had the talent to build somthing like that! I had to settle with a few bits of mdf and tacks to stop my sub falling about, looks ok, nothing as neat as that though!

cheers for the comments lads:thumb: . its not took to much talent just alot of time, effort and a bit of DIY skill and all the right tools. it just sort of comes together when you get started.

both installs look class guys 12 outta 10

job well done

we'll have to see if we can arrange a sound off for a later date!!!!????!!!

ive not got sound out of mine yet i'm havin trouble wiring the second alternator to run the system, im sure i'll get there soon.....

looking real cool is that, i like the colour scheme and the slightly offset subs is class :thumb:

That is an awsome install. Looks fantastic and quality gear all round with the Rockford's etc. I used to have a big boot install in a previous care that I fitted a bit like yours - never achieved that level of finish or quality. Very impressive work.

Did you really need the second battery and alternator? Would of thought you could have coped with just the capacitors? Then again on some cars it's just a question of fitting the diesel alternator - guess that's the issue is it, no uprated alternators available so had to use two?
