Further updates...

I did the Big 3 to the car over the weekend. Here is everything I bought.

New ground cables.

The fuse holder with fuses.

Big 3 in the car...

I may shorten the two positive cables as they are a little long but they are OK for now.

That's hectic. Well being an audio noob that looks very impressive to me.

Time for an update...

I should have taken more progress pictures but here is where I am up too.

The new amp I mentioned previously, a Rockford Fosgate T600-4.

Birth sheet for the amp.

Once the front baffle piece was trimmed in the velour, I sorted out the wiring. I had a few issues with this, one being the RCAs were too short. So instead of running them down the left side of the car they are now running along the trans tunnel. After that was all worked out the box went in the car and the rest was installed.

It is all up and running now and I am very pleased with the result. The bass is epic. I am really happy with how the box turned out.

I am not totally sold on how the amp rack turned out though. I am still playing around with some other ideas but it will do for now.

I also cleaned up the positive cables for the big 3.

So I finally got around to finishing the sound system install over the holidays.

First I put through a new set of RCAs. I went with Stinger 8000 series.

Then I started making up the new side walls.

I used the old sub boxes to create moulds for the new sides. These bits would be made out of fiberglass.

Instead of using a heap of glass I used some fleece to get the shape first.

Final adjustments.

Then they were wrapped in the velour.

While the sides were drying I made up the new base.

Test fit.

Finished Base.

Once that was completed I just had wirer it all in and put it together.

Can i ask how you actually mounted/attached your front baffle once it had been trimmed in suede? I'm just trying to work out how i can secure mine in place without having any rattles or visible screws!

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

I don't have a great answer for you. Since this box is so big the baffle needs to be removed to get the box out or get to the spare wheel. So I only attached this one with a few screws. I did get black coloured screws to match the fabric and countersunk them so they sink into the fabric to hide them a little. One thing I did do was when I cut out the speaker holes in the baffle that the speaker rings only just fit. So when I put in the speaker rings they are very tight up against the fabric creating a good seal and holding it in place. You can see the screws if you look hard enough but I haven't had any issues with rattles.

If you don't want any visible screws then just screw it on (maybe glue as well depending on what you are going for) before wrapping it in the fabric. From following your thread I think you achieved what you wanted

Been awhile, not much has happened. Only a few maintenance tasks on the car and been setting up the garage.

Had to replace the relay in the BCM as the indicators were playing up.

Changed the clip for the boot lights over the amps. The 4 prong clip I was using didn't have a great connection. Changed it to this two prong spade clip and works a treat.

Finally, built a new work bench for my saw.

Biscuit joined top...

Frame

Castors

Leg braces, I added these so I can drag the bench outside.

A decent sand to smooth it off...

Finished with a clear lacquer.

And finished workbench...
