Hi all, I've been a member of TalkAudio (now TalkStuff) for a fair while and done a fair bit of competing in both dB Drag and EMMA events and my builds have always been accompanied by a build log. I thought I'd share it with you guys over here, so here it is... After 7 months of ownership and a few performance/visual changes to the car I've decided now is a good time to put some time into the sound side of things. None audio wise it's had suspension, wheels, manifold, EcuTek tune and a raft of other 'goodies'. 001 by Jon Clements, on Flickr As with my previous SQ oriented cars I'll be looking to be sympathetic to the stock look of the car which means nothing more than a tweeter build to imply anything has been changed and being a #racecar means I'm not looking to add a huge amount of weight (minimal deadening!) The plan is to use existing kit where possible, adding to it where needed. Current kit list is: DLS R5a tweeters DLS Scandinavia 3 mid-range (new addition) Match Audio 6.5" midbass Match Audio PP 82DSP Match Audio MA 10FX (sub amp) Subs - Kicker S10d (The proper ones. Old round solobaric) I've made a start on stripping the car down so it currently looks like this: 002 by Jon Clements, on Flickr 003 by Jon Clements, on Flickr 004 by Jon Clements, on Flickr Once I've finished gutting the car the first thing to do is sort those doors out. I won't be adding a ton of deadening but there are some pretty big holes that need covering up so I'll make fibreglass panels to cover them. Once that's done I'll look at amp placement and get the cabling runs done.
