Haven't taken any... going to finish the bracket to hold it into the trunk panel tomorrow, then I just still have to find a suitable stretchy material to wrap it in...

JVC Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Use of NOS shirt earned you B- Pimp status. haha, it was free, wasn't going to turn that down... Picked up some carpet at Best Buy today for $13 and finished the project with a few bolts. Not a perfect match but it gets the job done! Here's a pic to show how I ran the wires into the box and the two bolts I used to bolt it to the carpet. anddd done Bad news is... the woofer is blown. but I have a replacement brand new Scosche unit from a friend that he's giving me for $25 and its like a $100 woofer so I'll switch it up to that later this week. Sorry that took so long! -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Swapped out the woofer with a different not blown one. Hits a bit harder, definitely nicer and doesn't stick out so much. Fits perfectly too. Pics later. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Cool. Now recarpet the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Cool. Now recarpet the trunk. haha yeah... I need a new mat or a really good cleaning on it. If I come across stuff that matches it better I'll do that. Or if I find a clean trunk mat that I can rip the carpet off of and use to wrap the box.

Vagabond Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just use speaker box carpet like you did and redo the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just use speaker box carpet like you did and redo the trunk. Thought about it but the cost to do that would be ridiculous... like $60 bucks to get enough material since its only 1 square yard for $13 and most panels are awkwardly longer than that. Not worth the effort for something minimal in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattphi Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Go to an audio shop. They have speaker box carpeting rolls everywhere. I bought enough carpet to do my whole trunk for like $10 cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
