Thought I would share with all a little project with you all.
Background of the system.
1 Alpine 9827
2 jl-500's
2 jl-300's 1-x2 1-x4
1 pair jl 6.5 seperates
2 pair jl 6.5 components
4 8" jl subs
2 12" mtx subs possibly going to replace in the future for jl's
3 Optima Blue tops for the system
1 Optima Red for the motor and accessories.
With that said here is how we progressed.
Started with the layout. We sat down and planned out pretty much everthing from location to equipment. Ordered up the parts and started in on our project.
First photo shows the begin stage of our custom sub enclosures.

Next we used high build primer to get a good working surface.

We also used the seat base of the rear seat as the enclosure for the 4 8's

Your speaker pod's turned out really good. I know those are a ton of work.

With all the work you put into the 12" enclosures, how come you didn't completely enclose the seat base for the 8s?
Looks great with proper spacing on the zip ties :D

Actually the seat base did get sealed. I didnt get any pictures of it, but I reresined the inside of the base and then sealed the top. Then the bottom of the seat fits over it.

Only the wire run you helped with does... :eek: :p :D
The effort you all put in really paid off. You should be proud. It looks great.
Incase you guys didn't notice, JetDriver isn't a rookie... :D

Hey, nice job.
BTW, I make a billet radio bezel that is not just a cover but has ss brackets that bolt into the side of the radio (existing holes), has 1/4-20 studs that attach it AND the unit securely to the dash/panel and holds the unit SOLID. It has a snap in (o-ringed) smoked lexan cover that makes it watertight for trans/storage. The little handle on the cover matches the grab handles in the boat.
No cover to hange down and catch on stuff and no hinges to break. End of the day, snap the cover in. Comes polished, anodized or powdercoated most colors. CP Performance sells them in their catalog (also on-line) or you can PM me for info.
I went through three of the plastic pieces of crap in my own boat before I made a billet mount for myself. After refining them for my friends, went into production. Could never understand why with all the other trick billet stuff out, you still see boats with the cheasy plastic radio covers.
