busy weekend....

check it out! Rather then worry about resizing them check out my cardomain page.

It starts on page 2 with the DD5 but quickly moves on to page 3.
I got busy with second skin damplifier pro this weekend and put a layer all over the place, doors, floorboards or anywhere I could reach, clean and stick it. I still have some left over and a couple of places left to put it but I will get there. After all of this if you knock on my doors they sound like wood and it sounds like a vault when it closes. It did add some weight to the door that I can fell when I shut it, but they sound fuckin awsome! I needed to move the tweeter attenuation up to +2 on the x-over and do some small adjustments on the 5 band eq in the deck but now I am happy. I threw in a live sting cd of a concert series that I had seen and when he was wailing on roxanne on full volume it still sounded clean and gave me goose bumps like it did in concert. I went for a long drive just as the sun set and was happy as hell!

Now on to the amp rack, hopefully that will not be too bad.......

Whatcha guys think?

Nice work on the upholstery.

I hadn't seen that sub console yet on page 1. Very cool idea!

if I had an airbag then that is where it would go. It was an option in 97 that I didn't order. The cover at the moment is held in place with some dowels that I will replaces with magnets. I am going to make a cover to go over the side and front that will probably be painted, and I am going to put a strip of lights hidden above it. I am also going to paint the DD5 with a carbon fiber paint scheme to match the octane, and I am considering replacing the plexi with perferated metal to also match. Would that be too much?

I will be pulling out the router and starting the carpentry portion of the project to cover the amp and try to make it look stock.
