Hi , thought I would put up some pics of a install I have been doing for a friend . Car is a mini 30
Posted Image
first up made some door builds , 12mm base and baffle with 12mm dowel rods hot glued in place to give the basic framework
Posted Image
I used 6mm threaded inserts to mount these to the freshly trimmed door cards I had just finished
Posted Image
Posted Image
then they were covered in fabric ready for resin
Posted Image
after 3 coats of resin and a sand down they looked like this :thumbsup: and were plenty solid
Posted Image
we chose a fabric finish to contrast against the vinyl
Posted Image
test fit after wadding was put in
Posted Image
and finally fitted in car :D

Next came the sub box , pioneer sub ( can't remember model ) box made from 18mm mdf , all joints sealed , glue and screwed, trimmed in black carpet

Posted Image
amp is a 4 channel pioneer running front and sub , this is mounted in the spare wheel well ( sorry no pics :thumbsup: )
my mate retrimed the dash in black vinyl and fitted a pioneer deh6300 headunit
Posted Image
system sounds very nice but as always my mate wants more so work is underway to make it bigger and better :D watch this space !!!!

Looks good. Good skills on the door pods too :thumbsup: One question though, where is the box for the sub & what volume is it? (I can't really tell from the pics)

Nice build, looks clean.
Really great to see another nice install in a 30.

Questions:
Where are is the amp/s ?
Where are the tweaters mounted? Dash? A-pillers??
