youl be looking for a long time lol.there arnt any tuturials on how to do something like that.im more then happy to help you with the design of something but you will need to have some very good wood working stills and or fiberglassing skills and knowlage to pull it off nicly,or no someone that does.

every one has to start somewhere tho so dont be afraide to give it ago! at worst youl throw away maybe $100 in materials.

i just did this on the weekend and its fantastic! unfortunatly i had apline r type 6x9's and they didnt fit :banana: but luckily i had some apline r type splits to throw in. i threw the tweeters in just above where the seatbelt goes into the sidewall. sounds fantastic and i would recommend it if you have a spare weekend and just want to shill out at home. besides the 6x9's it cost me $30 all up. i eliminated heaps of rattles and new carpet on the mdf looks good too.

i didnt really plan anything and i took me a saturday and sunday, at a slow pace sinking a few beers here and there and just chilling out while i did it.

just make sure you measure your 6x9's before they go in, thats your only worry. i didnt break anything either so its esay to take it out and throw the old crappy shelf back in. i dont know why i would though...

didnt read the whole thread so dunno if its been covered

but i didnt have to do any of that.... i just bought some lifters for the 6x9s, took the grills off the speakers and they were an easy fit..

I had 6x9's in with spacers on my standard parcel shelf, but since this weekend i finally got round to lowering my 33 I decided to make a new parcel shelf, Iv got my 6x9's facing the other way, my opinion it looks better lol but still need to use a spacer sort of, One question though, How have u guys mounted it in there? or is ur new parcel shelves just sitting in there between the seats and window? lol

i was going to put in 6x9's but i was told that it cant be done without cutting in to the car. so i was bummed out but i was thinking that there is a shit load of space back there and somebody must have a solution.

so i go on to SAU and do a search and i found this idea. originally i was thinking of putting 6x9 on a 45 degree angle with fiberglass but this sounds like the best option.

i wont to put in the 6x9 in the back for the bass. because i dont want to spent over 1G for my system and a sub and amp just kills my budget.

but it look super cool and easy what a small board of MDF is like under $20 and the carpet is nothing

great job i would pay like $200 if i didn't know how to do it

:D:P:O:D:thumbsup:

i give it 5 thumbs up

How deep can the 6x9's be so no problems are encountered.

Thinking of doing this as a weekend hobbie thing.

Thanks

depends on how thick mdf you decide to go.

hey, great job mate... ive started doing the project myself yesterday... as i had taken the parcel shelf out and took a closer look at the vents, noticed i couldnt take them out..

how do i take the vents out?

and also.. what do you think, 6mm mdf or 12mm mdf?

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me

      Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.

      Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
