Bank Holiday Workin - Days 3 and 4

Bit of a delay getting this update on but was so tired after the last twodays workingI have put it off until tonight!

Monday morning t his is how we stood
the black is fibreglass resin mixed with filler talc one giant tub of filler later

And starting on the port laying down some filler


Also added some expanding foam to seal in cable grommets

Needed to make way for the signal and speaker and remote cables
a few holes and a hacksaw later
some thick rubber hose as a grommet
The hose is stuck in (more later) and the cable will also run through 40mm pond hose
 ran in the extra cable needed to run the tweeters in the doors wonky and buju may remember trying to get2 runs into the door grommet - imanaged the3rd very easily which was a shock!

Measured and cut 6 lengths of speaker cable and bundled it up to run it under the car
speaker and signal cable coming in through the sealed grommet - not pretty but will be covered with carpet when done


all in the back

Running along side the petrol tank - not yet secured


That was it for Day 3 - Monday - Tuesday - DAY 4 I was woken by the post man delivering my new air filter
old one thanks to Nick the nurse on www.pocuk.co.uk
And the new green cotton one

I then started onsecuring all the cables i had run






Earth cables mounted to the alt mounting studs - good solid earths

also put the port length in 275mm long 200mm wide box is 1335x1000x700 which gives a tuning of approx 36hz so should really make some noise on real music


Also ran the cables for the subs - 8awg power wire!

Plenty left over for running to the amps on the back wall


starting to look like its going to do some business!

GOT CABLE????

WE then started on the back wall - first off got the main panel in packed into place

the gaps around the arches will be filled and sealed with wood panels doubling as braces, expanding foam, fibreglass and filler

First brace goes in

LEVEL!
2nd brace in


And yes Wonky thecar was on flat ground

More cable

the grey stuff is7 core cable that I will be using for remote - I plan on having all 8amps individually controllable (with a single override to)

Big thanks to my Dad Eric and my wife lou for the help over the 4 days - thursday and friday night will be spent cutting wood to go over the arches to seal the back wall. saturday is my cousins wedding so cant do any work but sunday im off to see Craig cdescort Dillow inmilton keynes to put some steal strengthening in the roof up front - I will also be putting in the battery box so thaton sunday night I can take Big Black to Paul Richardson for the rearamp rack to be trimmed in!
