Nope. It's the wife's daily driver and she doesn't want tint.

 

:(

check out my new amp i just got for my RE MT 12" in my thread...

 

Pimptastic!!

 

Wow this is gonna turn out to be one of the best enclosures yet. What kinda timeline do you expect to be able to turn some repros out for sale assuming this is your plan? I would love to be on that list.

If you do make a mold and start reproducing them, what kind of material were you planning to use? Fiberglass? Plastic like MTX does w/ their thunderforms?

 

Yeah I saw that pimp. Going to interesting to see how you get it all in.

I would say that it won't be quicker than a month before I would even be ready to make copies. Got to finish the original, and I'm SLOWWWW. Just drop me a PM and I'll put you on the list of interested people.

It'll be fiberglass, since I can do that at home.

 

tell you the truth, im seeing as i go how its all gonna fit, i hope it fits! lol

 

Can't wait for the finish and repros

 

Bump...

 

haha

 

One more bump for the start of August.

 

haha

 

Sorry guys. I've been busy but it is actually done. I just have to pick up some terminials to install the amp and power everything up. After which I'll have a listen adn see if it sounds good, then I'll take some pics.

 

Very cool. That sounds great.

 

OK, this has taken forever but it is finally done. We'll mostly. It just has a black spray can finish to it just now for listening and testing and I don't want to cover it before I have molds taken of it. But it is in the car and working, and it actually sounds rather good.

For good measure I have included pics of the mids and highs and empty boxes of the installed product. The tweeters are in a temporary position for image testing and will be later glassed in small removeable pods, as my a-pillars have airbags in them.

With no further ado here are the pics;

Equipment boxes


Tweeters from the outside




Tweeters from the inside




Tweeters from head position in each seat




Mid is behind the stock location


Amp mounted underneath the passenger seat. There is a nice recessed area beneath the seat that has a 2" styrofoam block which can be removed to fit the amp below the carpet level. I just cut the top of the carpet away to reveal the amp and let heat out.


And finally the enclosure

 

omg finally!

lets see a video

 

Wow!
That's way bigger than I'd imagined ... I hope it sounds amazing

 

OMG....lol...we started something very similar to this when were workin on dopamine but, we opted for what our final product was. glad to see it came out and it works.
wrap in that same vinyl as the interior. that would look great...thats what we did.

great job!!!

 

I've gotta admit that I'm surprised that you've put the tweeters in such a conspicious space when you did all that work to hide the woofers. Flushmounting the tweeters in the pillars would look much better in my opinion.

But the sub box is awesome. Too bad that wouldn't work in a cabrio.

 

Man you did a great job. That is a project well worth the effort.

 

I like it! A sound clip would be great! =)

 

The tweeters are temporary right now. I just have them in place for imaging testing. If they end up staying there I will build a pod for them that blends in with the rest of the area. Right no they look like a pair of eyeballs sticking up out of the dash.

 

Looks very nice so far - I definately want to see the finished tweeter pod installation. You may have said in in a previous post, but about how thick is the box? It looks about 6" tall from the pictures.

 

wow....awesome work

 

Fantastic project. Looks like you were able to keep most of the space back there as well - a plus for the daily commute, and a plus for the non-permanent fixture that can be removed for Autocross! Going to have to mark this thread for when I get my next MINI.
