Title: Getting started on my stereo. (dial-up users beware!)

I thought I would start a thread about my stereo install, as you guys already know I take quite a while to get things done.

So as you probably already guessed this may take some time to complete. I will do my best to take pictures along the way of the install.

Here are some pictures.

Some things I have acquired over the last year. (by acquired I don't mean they were a five finger discount......lol) I did pay for them.

I can see that my kids attempted to clean the windows!

A lame rendering I done of the enclosure I am thinking of building.

Specs for the enclosure

If any one is thinking of building their own enclosure, you should check out bassbox 6 pro it's a nifty little program. thats what I used to design the enclosure. I just had to ad the specs for the sub and a few other things.

If you need the program PM me, I can hook you up. It will be free!

Title: 15" Sub enclosure for std cab B2200

OK here are some pictures of the enclosure construction and a problem or two I have run into.

Here is my fat butt working on it, (I just hate getting my picture taken)

Construction grade carpenters glue to make sure it doesn't rattle apart.

Oh and by the way if you do this I suggest taking sand paper or a grinder and remove the shiny coating on areas that will be glued together.

This will let the wood glue penetrate into the wood and bond the pieces together far better than it would if you didn't remove the shiny (actually semi-shiny coating)

Sides ground down smooth so the boards meet together nicely.

Just when I was thinking, I am almost done; but there is one small problem.

My 1989 Mazda B2200 Stereo -- posted image.

When I built the enclosure with Bassbox 6 pro I thought my Sub had a mounting dept of 7". Well it turned out that it was 8 1/4" mounting depth.

So I had to make some spacers to get the sub woofer mounted to the box.

Below is the semi finished project.

Next I will remove the subwoofer and cut holes for my wiring hardware and the handle to carry this beast.

After that I am going to stretch some fleece over the front of the enclosure nice and tight and staple it down. I am going to mix up some fiberglass resin and brush it over the fleece.

When it sets up I will take a grinder to that and rough it up so that I can fill the imperfections with body filler.

I haven't yet decided if I am going to paint it or put a thin padding over it and cover it with leather.

More pictures to come as project continues.

Thanks munkekiller, as for the ride in the corner believe it or not I have had that thing for 10 years now.

I bought it in 1998, to make a long story short the wife wanted to go to Disney land in may of 99, then the next year we went to destin Florida. Then I wanted to go to Colorado. Well when I was in Colorado I picked up a big *** rock and blew a disc out in my back. I toughed it out for almost a year. I kept on working and it **** near severed a nerve in my spine.

So I had a surgery (never been the same since then) I lost my job that I made $17 and hour at back in 2000. I have been on disability since 2003 and don't make near the money I did, plus I don't work near as fast and cant work that long. So that project is a long term one.

here are a few more pictures of the body filler sanded. I still need to put some on the top and then it will be ready for painting. I really want to cover it in leather but it will be cheaper to paint it.

This is all I got done, I have to wait till my 4" JL audio get here so I can make sure the rest of what I build for it fits right.

Also I am not sure I like the way one side is bigger than the other.

I did the big side first and screwed it to the kick panel. Then when I did the other side I noticed they were different, and the MDF part has to be smaller for it to fit flush on the kick panel.

I will most likely have to get a new drivers side kick panel and start over because of the screw holes that will show if I put a smaller piece of MDF like the passenger side has.

If any one has a drivers side kick panel let me know how much you want for it. I will pay with paypal.
