k, guys... not much to show for all the work I did today. the only thing I got out of this was a sore ass back
This weekend's work came with a hard stop. I needed to be able to drive the car tomorrow, so I was really feeling the pressure with the deadening that I was doing. The goal for the weekend was to get the roof and pillars done, as well as run the DRC wire, and USB cable for the Bitone, reroute some wiring to make way for the horns on both kickpanels, and lastly, to deaden the floor... all needing to be buttoned up and capable of driving by tomorrow.
I started early this morning, and didn't finish until 9 tonight.
After freaking out about the carpet, I finally had everything squared away to get started with the deadening.
I first rerouted the wires on both sides of the kickpanels... this is how they come:
moving them up and out of the way enables me to get the horns really wide, and pushed back pretty far as well...
I was thinking about trimming this piece as well, to get the horns wider, but the recess, and the small diameter of the neo compression drivers allows me to get the horn mouth (vertical portion) almost flat with the body of the car, just aft of the kick panel recess. I'm looking forward to getting these hung.
Now, because of the time crunch I didn't really take any shots except for two progress shots... It ain't pretty as it is mid progress, but when each side was finally completed, I do believe I'll hear some noticeable results.
Carpet, front seats and center console are now back in the car, and I took the car for a spin tonight. It feels good to drive it again.
Last shot is where I put the usb for the bitone. It replaces a factory 12v outlet, so that made this pretty darn easy.
