Pretty unproductive weekend. A bit brain dead as this term comes to an end...
Did a little more sound deadening in the trunk and stopped since I realized I am almost out. Need to make sure the last bit goes exactly where needed rather in a unnecessary place.
While looking under the rear deck lid, I found a lot of places for air/noise to come in. These big openings are hidden by the c-pillar covers. Trunks are big resonating boxes for road noise and exhaust noise - so I want noise to stay there, especially when I add a sub back in.
I mentioned a new color scheme on the way and I kinda started on it-
On sale for $15 at harbor freight:
Should make surface prep a breeze! If it works ok I'll be pulling the headers back off to redo them. The paint flaked off in a week, guessing from poor prep since I didn't sand them. This blaster will make it easy.
Cleaned up the spare valve cover and intake manifolds of excess grease (no clean pics). Ready for blasting!
I made up a few cardboard mockups of different sub box ideas. I only need .6cF for the 2-6.5" subs, got creative and will only lose 5.5" of depth.
The box shape is gonna make most guys laugh, but it allows for room to mount amps and an expanded tool box idea while looking like nothing is there.
Also, expect a good deal of wiring/electrical pictorials in a few weeks. Lots of research into relays etc. so I have some pretty cool ideas.
