LOLLLLL... never thought about that!!!! that would be seriously embarrassing! LOL

hey sweet as, so what you running sound system wise? or planning to anyway?

oh and noticed you have black door handles, you gonna colour code em or leave em... think the car will look mint either way, though black does add a bit of character and matches the angels (sameas me ) and the rear lights

the door handels have been done in black to match the black parts and add a bit of seperation between the blue if you know what i mean.
my sound system is gunna be when finished 1x 10" kicker solox 5000watt peak 2500watt rms, got a 1500watt kicker amp running it and the stereo speakers are gunna be running on my 4 channel 650watt amp.
this may take a while so i'll just upload the pix alot easier lol.

1500watt mono amp for the sub


real power rating certificate for amp


my new 8" mid bass door speakers


























here's my front battery



the blue power cable runs through the car and two fuses and ends up at the back battery

here


then just ground both battries

don't plan on going shopping then..

looking good thi is, i'm taking it the whole car will be matching leather like what you have covered that in?

yeah will be all black leather with black and white tartan with a few blue dash bits.
yeah shopping is defo a no go area lol

Very very good project, well done. Well impressed

kl nice sounds there, and not too over the top like some ive seen ive got two 10" subs in a basic box, but i wanna build and angular box similar to yours where ur fuses are... and put my amp where your sub would be but behind persplex, ie so i could still put some stuff in my boot, only problem is i dont have much time on my hands and therefore need to go get materials etc and then cut everything... but yea yours is looking mint... any updates on the actual interior is it 16v interior restitched with the tartan pattern or just plain 16v pattern liking the car alot wish i had the skills and time to do mine similarly

JonDo

cheers mate yhe inside is getting done but when i can afford it just 16v seats in at mo will be porshe seats in front tho all retrimmed with black leather and tartan middles.
i have been waiting for my dash to be done but picking it up friday so will post some pix up of it.

sorry to go off topic.....

mk4mike by the looks of things u know ur stuff when it comes to audio? so was wondering if u could help me with a couple of things.

1. when u seal a box for a sub to go in wat are u suppose to use or wat did u use?

2. i got a 2000w pioneer sub but was gonna build a box for it but dont know how i find out wat size and type of box id need for it. would u be able to help?

3. when i got slightly bassy or loud bass on my music the head lights dim to the beat of the bass..... if that makes sense...... i was wondering would this be a power cap job or an extra battery job? which ever answer where would i get all the stuff i need and how would i set it up?

thanks for n e help u give me on these questions...... if u want u could pm me with a reply instead of going on here....
