Wonder when Ben will put those pics up as i'd love to see the design properly.

Ben!??

Sorry for not sorting them yet - I will get round to it at some point, but I've just bought a house and every spare second of my time is being spent repairing/demolishing/rebuilding at the moment. Currently my 480 is filthy both inside and out, as I simply haven't had a chance to wash her, let alone take any pictures of her!

Good luck sorting all of that out, whew- births, marriages, deaths, and moving houses- mega stress!

Sorry, hadn't realised.

Nice installs guys. I've got the same infinity 6x9's, good quality indeed. Chris and i went for the parcel shelf option with bass ice underneath. We made an MDF shelf profiled to fit the edge and carpeted it. Done a similar thing for the front door builds. I'll try and sort some pictures out.

Â£25

You can get decent black carpet (same stuff as on sub boxes) from any Wilco motorist store, or any other decent automative spares shop. Could also try looking on eBay. But do not pay Â£25 for it!

I bought mine from Maplin (the mottled type)- I think I bought Â£4.00 worth - enough to cover those speakers, and I had some left over afterwards, too.

I've finally got round to removing the speakers and taking some photo's of them. Hopefully you'll be able to see how they were put together, and how I managed to fix them into the car. The bit of bent metal you can see in the first photo is threaded all the way along. Where it attaches to the rear of the car was the only place where there was some suitable metal to attach to. It's basically got two locking nuts on it, on either side of the metal fixing it to the car. We bent it by heating it up with a blowtorch, and then using a couple of pairs of BIG pliers!

Sorry it took so long!

Nice bit of handiwork there Ben, quite discreet and you get to keep your boot!!
