FASTEST AVEO IN ONTARIO
it was 60 man, the whole thing came out very bumpy, so what i did was fill all the lows and left all the highs smooth fiberglass. This **** is harder then it looks on TV, (BONDO smoothing, not fiberglassing) and as you can see im working in my kitchen and not a bodyshop.
i installed it in to the car, and when the weather warms up will bondo it the final time, sand smooth and paint it silver.
as of now the 6x9 are runing of the rear ch of the deck, and put out bass thats very close to what a small 10" sub would.
next step: amp rack for the 4 ch, and slot ported box for MTX SLEDGEHAMMER MXS (7500)

Couple of questions. First how was the fit of the kappas in the front door? does the window clear and roll down all the way? If so what size spacers did you use and did you remove any door panel? second, are you using the piece you are making for the rears as a form or the final product?
the kappa speakers fit great with 1 1/2" mdf spacer, window goes up and down 100%, no clearance issues, the hard part was to mount the external cross over. the rear piece is not a form, it will be the final product when it gets warm and i can bondo and smooth the thing 100% for paint.Originally Posted by AveoRob

why dont you cover the rear deck box in auto grade carpet? it would hide a lot of the imperfections and give you a finished look.
haven't though about that, thanks for an idea

Great job. That board looks heavy. Can the 2 side plastic take the weight? I also had 2 speakers (6.5 inch JBL co-axial) on the rear board, made with heavy 3/4 inch MDF board. Bad point about mine is open air pumping, so a lot of bass is lost due to lack of enclosure.
I am more lazy. Just threw the 12 inch Cadence subwoofer into my spare tyre well and hidden many other stuffs inside that hole. Including PXA 701 Sound processor from Alpine, Fire extinguisher, emergency spray foam tyre repair kit...etc.
i actualy used plywood, and not mdf, so its realy light. i get great bass from the 6x9s caz they hit in to the empty air space in between the plywood and fiberglass, and then the air comes out through the 2 hole in the wood on the botom.
should i make it air tight for best bass?

how does that sub sound? it doesn't look like there is any airspace for it in the spare tire well, but your install looks awesome
