Great peace of mind when taking walks in the forest or parked in unknown areas,

Keep it in glovebox,

Looks much like a 6000CD from the 90's

Quite an ambitious statement and belief that the entire nation watches Lenny's build thread and knows how i be rollin Victoria,

Not sure I'm quite that popular hunney,

However in the event that im completely wrong...

Marty & Moog top respect guy's

Update:

The 9mm MDF panel is finally completed with a 19mm internal cavity all ready for marking, drilling and carpet,

The even better news is:

There's two of them aswell :)

If anyone is interested let me know I'm open to offers,

Both are identical so here it is:

Just think yourself lucky you bought a premade sub box lenny.. Could have ended up with carpet as bad as this! http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/63471-fiesta-mk6-5-door-custom-sub/#entry425652

MDF panel looks good! Going to look like a Professional job!

Just saw your thread for the first time today mate looks sweet,

Ive post a few questions on your thread linked there after seeing it,

Thanks very much for comments mate, its pretty light 9mm mdf then double layer strips around the edge,

So overall its 28mm thick additional 1mm gorilla glue,

Internal cavity for cables and connectors is 19mm gap between the 9mm sheet and the back of the seat,

Next step is to purchase the amp,

Mark up the MDF,

Drill it,

Purchase carpet and glue,

Coat it,

Refit amp and cables,

Long way to go yet,

Making my final purchases of 2014 on 20th

Gotta do Santa for three then,

I'll continue progress mid January with view of completion in April/May

Ive replied to your questions :)

I've built my box out of 12mm MDF and some bits of ply to reinforce/screw into so I'm not !Removed! directly into MDF. I've also used No Nails everywhere to make it more sturdy & stop air escaping.

I've just started building a false floor out of 9mm MDF to hold the box in place & so i can hide more silentcoat inside it. Might use it to mount the amp cause im feeling lazy now ive finished the box & although i like your idea of mounting the amp It's too much effort for me! haha.

What amp are you looking at?

when it comes to christmas i use the "I'm still young, people should still be buying me presents" card!

Sounds good,

You gotta purchase A3 size 4mm sheet of perspex,

Get DMB to create an etched glass style decal of ford logo 4" oval

Fit your amp in false floor with blue led strips wired in to boot light,

The amp is visible through the perspex in the floor and etched ford logo catches the blue light prism from the leds

Going for JL Audio Amps:

JX360/4 purchasing as part of a kit

And

JX250/1

I'm 29 now and 320 miles from family, I've got my own family now though lol 7yr old, 5yr old and another due out anytime now lol

I don't get presents but i don't give them out neither so nothing lost and nothing gained.

This is more exciting than waiting for Lenny to take delivery of a new motor. Don't forget to post pictures of the new car oops I mean baby when you take delivery! Any plans for mods or are you leaving it standard Vicki?

[GingerFlame]

Got a feeling Lenny's secretly planning to turbo it (him/her)

[Stoney871]

I think Lenny is working out how much sound proofing material he can spare from his latest car project.

[VickiW]

Haha Phil ... Aye I'm getting decals for side of pram to match the focus and I think Clive should watch his mouth or he will be eating the sound proofing!

[Stoney871]

Touchy.
