Very nice .... I see you built off the OEM pannel. I made the mistake of building a completely new pod from FG.

You sure live up to the superman logo !!!

How was your vinyling process ?? stretched vinyl with heat and glue ? I have yet to try it.

This was my attempt.

Very clean mate. A question for you/anyone that might know the answer - would it be possible to cover the amps (probably using perspex)? I'm thinking of a similar floor setup for my amps but I carry stuff in my hatch and don't want to be scratching my amps and all that. There would be an issue with overheating but would it be bad?

It will be fine. Just make sure their is enough air flow down there. If their isn't, just add a 12V fan. :)

I used hi impact adheasive on the panels and the structure then slowly molded the vinyl with my fingers into the pod, I did use a heat gun when the stretch was excesive but mostly just fingers and thumbs

If its a modern quality amp then you should have no problem as the heat emission will minimal but the above is spot on, just wire it to trigger on when power is fed to the amp

Love the clean vinyl look will be something like my soon build but bit different.

[HOLEIN1]

nice and clean job, especially on the door pods/pockets... did something similar on my old corolla...

good to see some quality DIY work on here, we unfortunatley dont see much along the lines of installs on here :frown:

keep it up! :cool:

[danish]

Wouldn't exactly call this stealth :eek:


I am looking at doing a completely stealth install in the next couple months in my polo... false floor, shallow mount Pioneers and then carpet over the lot so it looks like nothing is there :D.

Only problem I have is I have no idea whether or not the Pioneers are actually any good. I like them because I will be able to keep my spare, but if they are going to sound rubbish then its not worth the effort.

I've lost half an inch in height in the boot, can't get more stealth than that

Also moulded rear speaker pods to even the sound out in the car and now getting ready for 5.1 surround sound
