vibe wiring
Sound proofing
Boss amp 2x250
Colour coded centre console and air vents
Interior carpet changed to black
i will let some pics do the talking
the wheels were refurbed by myself and my G/F here are some pics
it was not a cheap as i was hoping (£200) but well worth it
work i have been doing this last week or 2 is stripping out the interior
before i started
and stripped
the reason for this was to run amp and speaker wires through the car under the carpet, im planning 3 in each front door card bigger ones in the rear door cards 2x12in subs in the boot 10in in the passanger footwell hopefully, also 4 in the parcel shelf i just need to finish the fibreglassing, with having our 2nd baby on the way in the next few weeks this may not be finished for a while lol but atleast all the wiring is done
while i was on i changed the carpet from grey to black which looks 100x better
wires
i will have more pics tomorrow as i will be finishing off the boot, i have put an mdf floor down with carpet underlay and carpet (black) ontop as the origional carpets were looking tatty, as a nice side effect it reduced the noise from the exhaust alot.
update
finished off neatening the wires got them set up for one amp as not got the speaker holes for the other amps yet, also put the black facia round the hu

Just got one question about the audio
Please do not tell me that live wire is your main wire to all 4 amplifiers at a guess
#3: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: robdob, Location: oxfordPosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 3:52 pm ---- Lush alloys, how long did they take? Icing on the exterior imo
#4: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:10 pm ---- they took a month but that was with working could have done them in 2 weeks with all day on them,
would that be a problem having 4 amps 75rms per chanel on one 4gauge wire with a splitter using 8 gauge

Please get 0 gauge instead, 4 gauge off 4 amps is a fire hazard IMO
Plus you dont need 6 door speakers, it will completely over the power the rear

#10: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 6:36 pm ---- one of the speakers wont be doing much in the door card anyway as it will be between the origional speaker and the pocket at the back of the door card more for looks
#11: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 6:37 pm ---- Fair enough mate
