I figured it would be a fairly long process. Even the few small panels I've wrapped that were fairly flat took some time to get all the corners done smooth without wrinkles. Good work.

How long did it take start to finish to wrap the concaved portion?

I'll be trying the rabbit bit for sure the next time I'm planning on wrapping a panel. I have never really been able to get interior stuff to look profesional and after watching your videos I think I know where I've gone wrong in the past. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.

Looking real good so far. I'm not a big fan of the streched fleece style usually but your approach of using it as a concaved dish instead of the typical ring poking up style looks much better.

Thanks. I should be firing it up and doing some test and tune tomorrow. Got it wired up tonight but it was to late to crank it up. I'll be getting some pics of it this weekend if all goes to plan.

I laid down some second skin deadener. Never used their product before so I figured I'd give them a try. Thanks. I really like this sub. I had it in a different box in a different vehicle and was pleased with it.

This is another build I'm doing for a friend of mine. I'm doing an audio and hydraulic install for him. Goals... Put a clean and simple system together. Keep wattage reasonable to avoid large electrical upgrades. Good overall sound quality and output. Use as little space possible for audio. Got the box started. Using 3/4" birch plywood with a double baffle. Here is a shot of the backside of the sub for those who haven't seen one of these subs yet. Had to get creative to fit a pair of 3" Aero ports in this box. It's tuned at 33hz with a box volume of 1.5 cubes. The "shrek" box. Just needed to black out the top the other sides aren't seen when installed. Carved a large section of the rear deck out and laid down some second skin deadener. Then we slid the box in and screwed it to the rear seat brace to keep it from moving around. It's not completely sealed off from the trunk but should still cut down on some trunk rattle hopefully. Mounted and wire up the amp. Disregard the carpet in the bottom of the trunk it's not staying there.

This will be very nice. I love detailed quality builds and they are far and few between. Keep up the good work.

I used some poly hardwood floor coating on my birch enclosure. It requires lots of light coats and plenty of blocksanding to get it smooth and glossy. I have well over 20 coats on it now.

I have another thread on layitlow.com but I've posted all the progress here also. Unfortunately my friend has basically gave up on finishing this project. I may finish the chassis and put it under my CoupeDeville though to prevent it going to waste. I don't think I'll be able to do anything much with the audio stuff at this point, time will tell.

Thanks guys. Pulled the radio and the gauge pod I put in the factory radio slot and reworked a few things. Made some new mounting brackets to hold the headunit/eq in the new center counsol. Mounted it to the counsol. Used a couple factory screw locations that are hidden by the trim bezel to hold the counsol in place for a clean install. I did the same thing for the new switch panel location.

Thanks guys. I'm working on a center counsol to hold the head unit and eq now to clean up the look of the interior end of the install. Just trying to up the overall build quality now. I've built a lot of cars over the years and I try to improve on every build to make a cleaner, more functional install.

Thanks, it's getting closer to how I want it.

Sanding the wood wasn't too bad. It's sanding between coats of poly that sucks. It takes forever for the poly to fully dry and it gums up if you sand it before it does.

Thanks. I used high gloss polyurethane clear designed for use on hardwood floors. It required lots of sanding and about 15 coats to get it looking how it does. I also stained it before clearing to get the color to match the interior trim pieces.
