I'm getting a lot of help from a someone who I'd call the master of SQ, this guy really knows his stuff. My plans were not going to be like this, but he had some time available so we could get it started.

Police would defect you for this would they not? Looks really cool though, not something you see all the time.

But its your central pillar, meaning if your in accident can cause harm to yourself and others, I got done for mounting my Volt metre there once.

I couldn't make something like this on my own, I'm just a helper in this case, a friend of mine is doing the bulk of the work, he is a true veteran of SQ car stereo.

I'd hardly think so mate, gauges are often illegal in this position because they are illuminated, I highly doubt this would be of concern to the police. I know many people who have had custom A pillars for years and years, without any worry. Just a place to mount a tweeter


Whys that? It doesn't impeded on his vision.


This helps also :) some A pillars are big and bulky, doesn't look good imo.

Ate you painting or covering your trims sweefu?

They will be trimmed in black vinyl, very very similar as the dashboard.

Cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated :) I will be sure to post pictures as the work progresses. By the way, this is 10.5 hours so far on the A pillars.

Pillars are completed, all credit goes to Tim for his amazing work.

My very poor quality amplifier sitting (temporarily) for this competition. Two channels have a very bad pop, so having to use two right channels.
