I’ve started covering the parts for in the trunk. The alu part you see in the hole, is the plate I made so the little door will not be able to shift backwards. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05936_resize_zpsa0c499a6.jpg Here the little door when it was freshly ...

I was sick for a couple of weeks, but now I’m cured, and ready for take-off! At least, I thought I was…till I saw there was a crack in the glass. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05905_resize_zps1428f2a6.jpg After some swearing I screwed it loose. I thought “let’...

I’ve taken some pictures of the subbox with the lights on. This wasn’t that simple. Once it’s all finished, I’ll ask a friend of mine, who has some professional material, to do a shoot for me. He took shots from the interior-lighting from the bimmer last year, and that was BAM! As you can see I chos...

The first piece of the polo-ice, is ready, the sub box. yihaa http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05842_resize_zps1444f5db.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05847_resize_zpsb63571da.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/r...

I’m back in business! The goal now is to complete the entire sub-box. First off all, I sanded the aluminum parts, in which the cables run through, firmly, because I was going to polish them. I did the solid bar first, because I would take longer than the rest. First I sanded it with the machine, thi...

I don’t know why I shouldn’t finish this. Everything needs time to get finished, some more than others, no?

In despite of the cold weather, I went and buy some things I needed to finish the trunk of the Polo. I also found almost the same fabric as the original one from VW (90% the same). This was (at least for me) the best I could find. I know that it would have been much prettier when I would have covere...

For a daily car, the bar is set high enough.

how long did this build take you or how long have you been working on it? I can’t give a perfect answer on this question… I don’t have a clock in my garage, and when I’m working on something, I don’t give a f*ck about time. If it turns out good, I’m satisfied. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272...

Wow! Nice work. Do you want to redo my trunk? :wink: Also, I can't believe you cut that DEQ in half. Those are getting hard to come by. No dude, I already got too much work on my hands, building this trunk. There are more things I cut through lol, and no, I’m not a magician, lol http://i82.photobuc...

Everything I made for in the back of this Polo thus far, is removed from the trunk now. So I can give the trunk a good clean now. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/sad-animated-animation-boy-smiley-emoticon-000346-large.gif The meaning now is to rebuild everything the install, outsi...

I let someone make me a set of alu little busses, to go in between the amp and the EQ. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05311_resize.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05322_resize.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/...

I started making the panels for the sides. A work that shouldn’t be underestimated. When I used to go and check out the cars in competitions, this was the first thing I looked at. And yes, I checked out MANY installs, and I’ve seen many, many side panels that don’t fit at all. There are many people ...

:clap: NICE :clap: Are you going to motorize the box amp rack? I was wondering the same. By the time you finish that it will be so heavy I would think that it might need it. I managed to lift the box in the trunk, without using much force. It lifts easy with only using a couple of fingers. You can ...

JK big fan of all your installs

Exiting day today. I mounted the box into the trunk. I used every inch possible in there, but I had a good feeling when I let the thing go up and down. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC05124_resize.jpg I had to do a minor adjustment with the hammer. The box didn’...

Cause of the cold this week, I didn’t manage to do much. Where I’m working at the moment, there’s no heating, and you can feel the cold comin’ out of the ground. There are nicer days to work on an install. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/smiley_cold.gif The 2 alu frames (for the g...

I grabbed the mill from out the cupboard and started making some sloths on the bottomside (for the cables from the subs) http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC04991_resize.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC04996_resize.jpg Then ...

This time I won’t be working with copper for the connection of the Focal Subs. When I started this project, I said I was going to keep it basic….and I’m getting the feeling it’s getting a bit out of hand again . I want to show with this connection , that you can make beautiful and good things with s...

I changed the plate which is on the amplifier. I widened it a bit more. I also added a second plate underneath it. I’ve done this to give it a more tough look. The sides of the thick plate will get polished, and the thin plate will be sprayed in black. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/G...

Here you see what I’ve done to work away the cables in an easy and fast way. Close to the bottom of the amp, I made 2 oval holes (L and R) http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC04942_resize.jpg On the bottom side I milled out a big sloth to place the cables in. http:/...

Because I’m going to mount the equalizer onto the amplifier, I decided to make an aluminum plate. First of all I drew out everything on a piece of MDF, 8mm thick. The MDF will serve as a mold for the actually alu plate. Here you can see how I started. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GI...

As for the finishing inside the box, I chose 2mm thick aluminium. I also let some folding work done, which is strong. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RADIO/VW%20Polo/DSC04888_resize.jpg Milled out the holes for the subwoofers. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/robola/GIFS/RAD...
