With the car running and the outside looking done, it was time to turn attention to the inside. I made an 8" subwoofer enclosure out of the passenger foot rest foam chunk. I wanted something that would not intrude on passenger space and this seemed like a logical location. The end result is barely seen if you don't look for it, in fact you can't even see it when in the drivers seat.
First I added urethane foam to the area that I wanted to house the driver and after it set I shaped it to fit the 8" driver and achieve the look I wanted. Once it looked like what I wanted, I glassed it up and then hogged out all the foam to leave a fiberglass enclosure that perfectly replaces the original foam piece. Here's the roughed foam plug: Here's the enclosure after gassing and removing the foam. Before glassing I carved a 1/2" recessed area in the front section to create a flange to flush mount a piece of 1/2" MDF for an acess panel. |

Couple more. The stereo is a Kenwood Sirius unit. The front speakers are Polk 6.5" and there are 1 1/4" Polk tweeters in tne rear pillars (where the useless coat hooks used to be). The Sub is driven by a 200 watt amp installed where the glove box used to be. Getty dash, GT classic seats in leather with heaters, Aamco console (from Grasshopper..thx) trimmed to fit around a Rennshift. I still need to figure something out for the firewall, but for now it's running well and even has tunes..... (Beastie Boys and Tool tested!)
