[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16503603, member: 168598"] I installed the front stage components years ago and unfortunately don't have pictures. They are JL Audio C3-570 component set with 5x7" mids and 1" tweeters, both mounted in the stock locations in the front doors. I also installed sound deadener in the doors at the same time. [ATTACH=full]1666403[/ATTACH] The beginning! This is pretty much how the trunk looked when I bought the car with missing carpet and panels. [ATTACH=full]1666404[/ATTACH] The first step is to determine the volume of the spare tire well. The easiest/least messy way to do that with reasonable accuracy is to fill it with packing peanuts and then measure the volume. [ATTACH=full]1666406[/ATTACH] I measured the volume of the cardboard box and then used it to measure how many box-fulls it took to empty the spare tire well. It came out the 2.1 cubic feet which is perfect for the U-12! [ATTACH=full]1666405[/ATTACH] Time to re-enforce and deaden the sheet metal. I made some braces out of MDF that would re-enforce the spare tire well and and connect it to the baffle to reduce vibrations and flex. [ATTACH=full]1666408[/ATTACH] Here they are installed along with a layer of sound deadener. The braces are held in place with construction adhesive (no screws). THe holes in the braces are to allow air to circulate so the entire spare tire well acts as 1 chamber. [ATTACH=full]1666409[/ATTACH] Next I began fabricating the wood baffle that would attach to the trunk floor and seal the chamber. I chose 10 layer birch plywood for it's light weight and excellent sound qualities. First step was to make a cardboard template of the shape needed: [ATTACH=full]1666410[/ATTACH] Then transfer the template to the birch plywood. [ATTACH=full]1666412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1666411[/ATTACH] I cut the edges at a 45 degree angle and later rounded them off some more by sanding so there wouldn't be sharp lines under the trunk carpeting once installed.
