looks good but I would consider painting the edges of the pexi rather then the vinyl personally.

That's a cool system for an ULTRA cool car.

Excellent job so far! I love stealth installations. I too would be concerned about accessing the fused on the DD5, but if everything is done properly, you won't be needing to access it very often. I accidently blew a fuse in mine messing around (twice) and it took about 10 mins to change out. Not a big deal. Having the EQ accessible from the driver's seat is a huge benefit to ease tuning. Good idea.

Got the Console wired last night. OMG was that a lot of wires. I ran all cables as far as the engine bay, then I got really tired. Way too much splicing and crimping and squeezing when the temp in my garage is 20 degrees.

Now I am ready to work on the rear trunk and engine bay next

sorry about pic quality, As you can see... you cannot see anything

Got some work done on the car...

I wired up Both Kinetiks with my 0guage and ran the BIG THREE. Those fuses are freakin HUGE

Then I started on the rear trunk. I made a cabinet to fit all three amplifiers and coverd it with a combination of carpet and vynal. Came out O.K.

I also drilled 2 holes for the cables to pass through from the engine bay

The top of the cabinet is carpeted. With the Porsche logo

Then the vinal, and the rats nest of wires needs sorting

A lot of Zipties

The end result. I just need the plexi.

Looks great, almost like it came from the factory that way.

Wow, this thread is great. I never even knew this was here until reading about the naked girls photos in a 914 build thread and digging around a bit. Great job so far, and please keep the photos coming. Few people ever document all the steps in an install and the photos are very valuable guidance to anyone else doing an install.

Post by **stipud** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:11 pm

Agreed! Watching the step by step evolution of an install is way more rewarding than just looking at the finished product!

Awesome car and nice work so far.

Figured I would post the front trunk pics. I put the 2 rsdc122 in a box that fit every angle of the front trunk. If you notice i even had to notch the corners in the front to fit between the headlamp buckets. This box is designed in 4D lol

I think it came out great, and it fits like a glove. With each 12 running on its own XS2500 and the whole soundstage in the front, It sounds freakin awesome.

I dont yet have the tweets mounted. Here are the pods i bought for the 6.5's they really look sharp.

You would not believe the big sound out of such a little car

Post by **ttocs** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:31 pm

looks good man but I can't help but think that the hood could probably benifit from some sound damping with the subs firing into it like that. Does it rattle much?

dwnrodeo · Post by **dwnrodeo** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 3:38 am

I love the subwoofer box! Not many people can have two 12" subs in the front of the vehicle, I'm jealous!

Post by **stipud** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:04 am

That's insane. How does the bass get into the cab?

jsayre914 · Post by **jsayre914** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:10 am

The Hood does not rattle at all. There is a nice thick rubber seal all the way around, and it holds to it tight. The air can travel freely into the cabin through two 4 inch round holes located just above the drivers and passengers feet. It is a nice breeze
