Build Thread Enola- Finishing touches

Thanks Dave it's been alot of work, especially since I don't have a shop or garage. Nothing like the restorations you have been able to achieve, but I'm learning and that's what matters.

BTW Dave when I start the trunk area, should I dye the trunk carpet or recover them with the black felt I have? I know dying them would be most correct but covering them would fix some of the flaws they have.

Lol toilet paper...

You may want to get a high quality picture box in which to view automatic paintings.

That's a roll of foam tape.

Luckily I'm in a forgiving mood, work is almost over (fugging late shift). I can almost taste the hops.

How did you know I drive nekid...

You spyin on me?

Where did I put my tinfoil hat...

Uhh. Maybe I didn't post where the subs are... how could I forget that.
I used the same mb quart XC1-216 component set that went in the doors for the the rear speakers, this was done through the use of an adapter I modified for a 5x7.. these will be powered from an 4 channel amplifier.
The sub is a jvc arsenal (7040) 10" in a 2 cubic foot box tuned to 35hz... The subwoofer actually faces downward and fires into the space below the box where the rear driver side passenger would have been. I installed a few sheets of dyno mat into this area before the box installation.

Here is a picture of the box being built.notice the hight of the wooden "leg" on the left side of the box (in current orientation were actually looking at the back and bottom of the box now) that's how much space the sub has to mount and breath. You can see on the right side I was going to vent the box at the bottom (slot thats cut into the bottom panel) but due to the way the floor of the rear seat area is shaped it proved difficult. So I made use out of the slope of the seat back and built a triangular port.
Here is the box after being covered in felt and the sub installed. this was in the car, I put the front strap in place and made a slit in the carpet. From here I turned the box over and carefully slid it down and forward then attatched the mount to the body of the car and pulled the carpet over the strap and tucked it into place under the edge of the box.
Once I had the box in I assembled the rear quarter panels, then strapped the box again in the back. The backrest covers the second strap and serves as a mount for the rear crossovers and tweeters.

All the speaker wires and amplifier related items were routed into the trunk area, I will spend some time making an amplifier rack in the coming weeks....

The second Japanese kid is in the storage room, the vw bus will likely become it's new home when the time comes.

I do not sir but I would love one!
