Well guys, it's that time again, a new issue of Project ActiveTuning

This time we do the entire sound system. I actually split it up into three seperate issues:

- Part 1: Headunit & XM Radio
- Part 2: Speakers
- Part 3: Amps/Amp Rack/Fiberglassed Sub Enclosure

The issues include over 100 pictures, and DETAILED how-to's for installing all of the above things. So, even if you aren't trying to fiberglass a system in your car, but just want to learn how to install a headunit or speakers, read the issues!

Anyways, check them out, and let me know your thoughts. You can also post them in our forum (we have a dedicated thread, just look for the link at the bottom of each issue).

 

Awesome post!

 

Very nice on the box build up! Doesn't the box raddle with only the fiber glass supporting it?

 

Thanks. What do you mean by only the fiberglass supporting it? To pre-answer your question, it doesn't rattle at all

 

Excellent post...thanks a lot!

 

I haven't read it yet but thanks so much anyways! I'm looking forward to checking it out. Fiberglassing seems like a fun project.

 

Nice job and great install! Great step by step process install pics! Paint looks great too!

 

Nice! Thanx.

 

nice

 

Saw this thing this week-end and pics don't do it justice. He did a great job!!!!

Starting mine tomorrow and mine will look better Especially since I now have a step by step model of how to..lol

Wanna help?


I acutually have one question. Do you have to put the fiberglass on top of the material. I read somewhere that a cheat was to use trunk carpet as the material you stretch. They say that this is strong enough and makes the job faster. Any thoughts?

 

Actually normally you are supposed to use this mesh stuff, but it's not that thick at all. The t-shirt really worked out nice. If you are planning to put more power to the trunk, you may want to put more layers on...

 

Thank you for sharing all your experience and knowledge. In the future, I will make use of your webiste when I upgrade my audio.
