Running
the speaker wire down the side of the vehicle - this is by the front
passenger doorstep |

Speaker
wire coming out from under the upholstery in the trunk to wire up the
amps |
We
used twisties to tie all of the speaker wire together, and to clamp
them onto the OEM wires that ran throughout the vehicle |

better picture of the twisties being used |

out |
That
pile of extracted materials...STILL getting bigger |
Building
the gig that will help shape and create the "tub" that we
will mount our sub woofers into |
Removing
the OEM speakers out of the door |
Progress
on the gig that will shape the sub woofer tub |
The
gig needs a lot of support because there will be a lot of
pressure/stress on it from the fiberglass wanting to shrink |
The
tape is being applied to the gig so we can rub it down with wax so the
fiberglass doesn't bond to the gig |
The
wax that will be used for this project |
The
finished gig - testing to see if the rings that will be holding the
sub woofers fit |
Applying
the wax to the gig |

waxed-up gig ready to go |
We
will be using fleece to make the mold for the fiberglass tub |
Screwing
in the rings to the bottom of the gig to create the shape of the tub |
The
molded and stretched out fleece - the fleece was stapled around the
top of the gig to keep it stretched out |
The
finished gig - ready to have resin applied to it |
Applying
resin to the fleece to create the tough, fiberglass tub |
Adding
additional support since the fiberglass wants to naturally shrink - we
will let it sit and harden overnight |
We
applied Dynamat to all of the doors to prevent rattling and echoed
sounds |
Another
picture of Dynamat on the doors |
We
also lined the spare tire well with Dynamat - from experience, it has
been known to rattle A LOT |
The
rear deck needs Dynamat as well since there are so many different
types of materials that will be used to reconstruct it |
