For those of you asked to see how i's doin it....

post-1524-1182946882_thumb.jpg post-1524-1182946920_thumb.jpg post-1524-1182946968_thumb.jpg post-1524-1182947046_thumb.jpg post-1524-1182947106_thumb.jpg post-1524-1182946837_thumb.jpg

what ive done:

fit 6 1/4" speaker to kick panel (infinity 6015 reference componets)

removed bonnet release and spaced it out to fit over speaker

peeled vynil off area of glovebox that needs cutting

cut out a rebate in glovebox to allow to open and close properly!!

what needs doing:

make better spacer for easier use of bonnet release (plastic tube was just handy guna make a carbon 1)

plastic weld/glue in sidewalls for the rebate in the glovebox

refit vynil to gloebox (getting done by upholsterer sez like 30 buks)

what ive learnt

hard plastic of glovebox + pneumatic hacksaw = CRACK!! hence bracket above rebate :angry:

impatience + heatgun = bubbled vynil, told will come out bu still :angry:

all and all prety happy,looking forward to it being done

maybe if doing it again, retrofitting a rip cord style bonnet release would be alot less time consuming, but then the OG bonnet release is kinda kool

or searching for shallower speaker covers - but im a sucker for infinity components!!

will update with pics when finished :D

I think these installs look nicer with full black grilles so not such a 'look at me' setup.

Subtle is the key.

Good work on the glove-box, seems tidy. Are you going to box out the gap as you don't want your parking tickets falling through the gap eh'?
