my cheap barge

Bugger



Test measured with a Samsung 7inch tablet but forgot that the Hudl has a far bigger surround, plan was to pull the headunit out and replace it with a tablet built into the dash but thats a no-go

So my options are either a mount where the center vents are



Or get super sneaky and use the fact that the OEM unit has a tape deck to my advantage and fabricate some sort of bracket that holds the tablet inplace using the tape mech.

Why not just buy this.

Use your phone with Spotify/ Itunes etc etc. No wires.

So today i went to a car show held by a car audio distributor, they were clearing some stock out cheap so i did the only logical, sensible thing someone who is watching the pennies can do to keep his spending under control

I bought the Jag a prezzie











Just a little 10inch sub for the front footwell, this is the baby brother (one model range down) to the 15inch nutter specials that are going in my ford so it should do the job and only ned a tiny enclosure so passenger footwell space should not be too badly impacted

[samuelellis]

Hello Cheeky



Got more than enough space to fit the enclosure in the front foot well for this and the woofer can be easily hidden

[Dave200]

I'm all for a good audio install, but sticking a whopping great sub in the footwell is just going to look crap. Don't ruin an otherwise nice car with swathes of fibreglass and MDF.

[samuelellis]

When it is fitted you wont see the woofer at all, it will all look OEM

i would fit it in the boot but unfortunatly due to how sealed the boot is that is a no-go

[samuelellis]

Considering this is pretty much dead center on a rear wheel i suspect that someone planted this so it would get run over and puncture the tyre







Cant have owt nice anymore

[Barchettaman]

People are scum.

That´s all.

I´m fuming about that, and it´s not even my car.

What the heck!? That's bad...

Sam: will that software work in a slightly older Becker Traffic Pro (pre High Speed)?

If you have a shelf in your garage near your car take my advice and check it is secure, one of the shelves in my garage fell down at some point (not been in the garage for a few days), this was what greated me when i went to get my barge out





Its done around 400quids worth of damage but i am quite lucky as a bottle of paint stripper was on the shelf, thankfully that did not split open otherwise things could have been much worse

So take my bad luck as a note to check shelves in your garage

[MJK 24]

Some insurers are now charging higher premiums for garaged cars for this reason!

Bad luck OP

Great thread and car though!

[samuelellis]

So updates

Picked up a old-skool amp and a damn good set of speakers







Started the layout of the boot


Started the sub box for the front

Cardboard template



Start with the wood



Start fibreglassing



That is as far as i got as i ran out of materials


Now as i am good friends with the owners of a local car audio shop i went along with them to a car show, i think the lasses on the show stand liked it

It would seem that Sir has a large V8 shaped bulge in his trousers(page 1)and after filming those two, one is not surprised
