Time to get the cabin area in some sort of order
The under lay being installed
Carpet in and locating the seat and belt holes.
Dont know if anyone else has tried this but cutting the bolt holes was no fun, hacking through the carpet and underlay and making square holes even with sharp knives is tuff. I made it 1/2 way throught the first hole and thought there must be a better way.
So I grabbed a screw driver and a gas bottle, I heated the screw driver until it glowed red and pushed it through the carpet and underlay marked out with the other screw drivers.
It melted the carpet and underlay in a perfect circle big enough to get the bolt in....... quickly
Best thing it melted the carpet so there was no fraying like a cut edge, just a nice round edged hole.
Anytime you can use fire to rebuild your project its all good.
I hate seeing speakers in doors , kick panels etc and this was not the sort of build to have them showing so I fabricated up some panels to install the 6x9 behind the seats in that unused cavityc area.
I never wanted it to have HUGE sounds so these will work perfect.
The dark black that can be seen below the shifter is heavy duty velcro. I didnt like the way the carpet fitted around the tunnel so i chopped it to form and used the hook part of the velcro to hold it together
Kicker 6x9
Still managed to keep the jack, brace and handle behind the seat along with the speakers
