Making a start on the i.c.e

[shedrool83]

Picked this up from a mate tonight.(cheers Gray)
I wont be going for anything special just a cheap as possible set up will do me.



Cut out for sub or subs


compartment for amp



compartment to acess the spare wheel


Very nicely made and will still have space in the boot

[ImysE30]

That look's awesome, looks very slick

What sub/amp will you be using?

[shedrool83]

Havent thought about it yet Imy.
I'll measure up the cut out and then see what i can pick up to fit it.

[ImysE30]

Nice pair of 10" subs or even 12".

Where did you get the cut out from? Custome made?

[shedrool83]

Yeah mate it's custom made fits perfectly.
Looking at the length of the space for the sub i think your right i'll need two.

[ImysE30]

Can more be made?

2 is the way forward

[shedrool83]

I dont know who made it.iirc it came from a breaker jbh(zoner) had.
I dont see a problem making then using mines as a template.

[ImysE30]

Not sure it would fit in my cabby though

[shedrool83]

Deffo wont bud.

[ImysE30]

Bet you already checked, seeing as you've got one also

Good luck with finishing it off

[shedrool83]

Got the amps and sub i need now just need to purchase the wiring and make a wee mod here and there in the boot.



Pretty basic equipment but it will do me.

12" magnat sub and 2x spl x 350w amps.

[BadDave]

Are you planning on bridging 1amp to power the sub and the other to power some comps in the front Jake?

Gimme a shout if you need it all wired up mate

Will do mate.

[shedrool83]

Made a wee mod to the boot install today so the sub is secure.
Two blocks of wood some old grey boot carpet and a tin of satin black later.(would hate to count up how much i have spent on satin black paint lately LOL )





Not to shabby imo

[ImysE30]

Very neat, nice job

[BadDave]

Looks good Jake.

Should be able to hide most of the wiring behind the sub cabinet for a tidy wee install

Yeah there enough of a gap down the back for the wires and i can as use the compartment that the amp was going to go for the fuse or anything else that has to be accessible.

[SammySmack]

looking like a professional job already!
im taking notes...!
good luck for the finish

[shedrool83]

Apart from tidying up the rear speakers wire(never had enough ) its finished.
Changed the colour of the boot lining to black to match the rest.

And with the help of baddave its sounding not to bad either.

[BadDave]

Can't take any of the credit TBH

All i did was tweak a setting or 2 and change how the sub was wired up.

[shedrool83]

Finish the install tonight.
I changed the amps as one wasnt working as it should,so i now have a 350watt kenwood powering the sub and a 300watt spl powering the kenwood 6x9's.
I also upgraded the rca's for quality ones (autoleads and fusion) to replace the cheapo's i got off ebay and fitted a dvd,tv,bluetooth headunit and juice 1.2 farad power cap.






Fuse's and sub crossover hidden under access panel

i've got this same headunit and when I test fitted it I found that the screen fouls on the indicator stalk when going upright. I can see that you have put the OBC on the right to solve this and wanted to know is this easy enough to do?

Thanks

All you need is the heater panel from a left hand drive motor

ahh... I see, I thought it was just the case of taking it out and moving to the other side, and if need be modifying the housing slightly.

Well, thanks for that will keep my eye out for a LHD heater panel

Yip as Dave said get yourself a lhd heater panel.
It isnt hard to change it at all

[miniblob]

Yep, I've done the same mod on mine!! Just swap the panel!!

Gonna take the screen out of mine soon, but considering leaving the lhd panel in there with a standard (non-screen) stereo!!
Can't make up my mind if i prefer the position of the h/u or not!! Lol!!

[ImysE30]

What headunit have you got fitted?

Looking to get mine done

[shedrool83]
