Haha that wasnt me thats how I bought them off another member lol I was thinking that as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 While I gave yours a spray of filler primer I gave mine the last coat of Matt Black. This is how yours will look, just thought it would give you some idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 gonna do the following line different on this one mate. instead of being like mine and reaching up towards the corner of the windscreen im gonna bring it around slightly and give it a slight curve. it should look well nice when ive finished. its loads lighter than mine, due to having used fibreglass to build up the radius on the joining faces.

Noz Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Parry, need your help mate. getting further with your pod. need a decision on the design at the top of the pillar. where the line on the pod joins the pillar i want to do another feature like my own. instead of a straight boring line up to the roof, was thinking of having a curve just as a bit of interior style. you may think `oh my god what the *** is that rubbish`, if so TELL ME cuz i can easily just remove it. just trying new designs mate, if you have a different design, let me know and il try it. il wait for your reply before i touch this side. bottom is coming along nicely, getting some shape to it. this end should be smooth as a babys bum by end of weekend.

Noz Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Triple is getting there, need to tidy it up and give it a sand tonight. Passenger side ready for top coat primer. The triple pod is really close to the dash when fitting, your have to be careful when fitting it, I recommend sliding a peice of paper between the pod and the dash to protect is, as it will slightly touch it before the grommits go into the holes. I positioned the pod as far down the piller as I could, as it's a bit in your face. I had the same with mine but it didn't bother me, but wanted to ammend it next one I did; I've hit my head on it twice and mate, it hurts lol.

Parry_10 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 You've done a really neat job there mate. The all Kenwood gear sound ok? cheers mate just took my time with it, yeh sounds really good nice and clear sound pretty much all the way up to max volume and got a bit of bass from the sub just got to mess around with the settings abit I think. At one point I just had the rear speakers connected and the sound system sounded better with those than the whole stock sound system!

Guest ugp Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You need to enable the sub out on the head unit, not on as standard, read the book on enabling it. Set the crossover to low pass (or 100hz) on the amp. you can then pull the bass back on the door speakers, and have it straight to the sub.
