My wildest install yet.

[ScienceVR6]

Tommorow, i will begin the wildest install i have ever atempted on the VR6.

So wild, i will be reducing the seating capacity.
So wild, it will feature a 195/50 r15 tire as a show peice
So wild, It will have space for a fridge
So wild, I will be able to fit 2 swags, and all my camping gear in it
So wild, i will still have a 10" sub, 2 amps, and alll associated gear.

How wild?

Wait till tommorow!

sounds extremely exciting :) i'm ready for it :D spilll!

[ScienceVR6]

I won't give to much away, But, when i open the boot, all you will see, when the remaining bseat is folded flat in Space mode, is, Nothing.
Everything will be hidden, and the floor will be perfectly flat from the Tailgate, to the FRONT seats. the only things in the boot will be the spair tire. The sub box is going in the rear passenger side foot well. The 4 channel is going in the spare tire well. (already there) The mono will go where the small seat was. And a faulse floor will cover the lot. The floor will be trimmed in Rubber backed marine carpet. I will be getting an Enkle fridge for camping trips, and that will go where the small seat would be, and on top of the sub box and amp. with the large seat folded, i'll be able to fit 2 swags, the fridge, a full size spare, and other gear, all for a nice long holiday, without looseing the subbie! Also, when its all folded falt, the car will look striped out. liuke a proper rally car.

I am also making every attempt at making the lot as light as posible. The floor will be made of 5.5mm masonite, suported on a pine frame for strength.

[ScienceVR6]

lol. The floor is nearly finnished. I disvovered a nail gun, and it's making it s much easyer! I have to get more wood though, and i still need to buy carpet.

Then i have to fit the other amp, and fit the sub. Lets see if this works!

[evorobin]

I'm picturing back seats out wooden box installed. May I suggest you make it a black box incase you get airborn while rallying...

[Soundofav6]

I have lots of pics, but i broken card reader!

The old install is there if anyone wants it. minus the sub and amps.

[Jondarren]

Oh that sounds like a plan. Can't remember the look of it, so i'll go search back through the forum.

Where does it reside?

[ScienceVR6]

Bunyip, which from my calculations, is a bloody long way from bondi.

In this pic, we can see a total lack of Rubber backed Marine carpet. Also, notice that the spare wheel has no rim. Nor any mounting point.

here, we can see just how much space i have availible to me, despite carrying a full size spare wheel. Note the Text on the tire.

Here is a second shot of the Boot in Rally/ Touring mode.
When in Rally mode, the spare tire wil lay on the floor. Lower center of gravity see!

The Amp/Tool cavity. This is where i keep my New polo brotures, and any tools that i'm not keepng in the other tool space. IE the spare tire well. Also in the well (not pictured) is the 4ch amplifier. In the foot well, is the sub box, which is not yet finnished. It has no hole in it for a sub.

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/hotmagna92/IMG_3985.jpgWith the lid down, i plan to be able to put a fridge here. Its fully braced, not to meantion the fact the sub box below it is 18mm MDF.

The crap i had to take out of my car to take these pics.

CANNON!

[bboyskidz]

i want more progress!!! i'm itching to see the stuff you did today :D :D :D

[Preen59]

Dude, nice work! that's actually pretty neat! I'm suitably impressed!

[ScienceVR6]

I started carpeting the boot today, but i got bored and didn't quite finnish it.

Also got a new head unit yesterday. Its a second hand Alpine unit, and i'm still trying to tune it. Lots of features, but i don't have a manual for it.
So i'm learning by trial and error.
