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.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
