I have all the 1/0 guage run through the car for the battery relocation. Next week I start on the underhood distribution system, install the relays, finish the wiring, then it's time to start on the fiberglass kickpanels, tweeter mounts, and finishing the sub enclosure. So far everything assembles with a 2mm gap, which will close to nil once all the carpet gets glued on.

Basic frame for battery holder and the distribution block compartment






This is the battery I got a really good deal on, borderline free


Blocks set into place, ready for the battery




So far after a week of driving the battery is still solidly in place, she won't be moving around anytime soon


I need a bigger garage... or at least my own...

Very clean. Does that fit with the spare tire in place?

If not, it still looks good.

The tweeters are going to get thier own pods up on the dash, aimed up and forward at a point just under the rear view mirror. Defection off the windshield forward will cause the sound to seem to emminate from a point in front of the car.



I had to change my initial kickpanel design. With the neo8 on the bottom at the angle it has to be mounted, the kicks would likely be torn off when exiting the car. By putting them up top, I wil also avoid the whole dead pedal mishap... I hope...


Here where my foot would land if I only used the left half of the pedal


and how I normally clutch


So everything is aimed at a at the center of the car between the headrests except the tweeters which will bring the stage up and forward. Can't wait to get this [censored] finished.


ass shot...
