You made those panels?

Blue4x4 · 04-13-2007, 12:14 AM

Yes I did. A board member gave me a template on the sides and I traced it on to some 1/4 moisture board and cut it out. Then had it covered with the same pattern as the seats. I also have speakers in the front section on the panel.

Bet it sounds nice with the top on and no wind blowin in your ears, looks good.

did you do any brown bread or dynamat behind them on the sheet metal? How do they sound overall? I am thinking of fabbing in a particle board sub enclosure on either side where you are showing your rear 6x9's and putting in a pair of 6x9's in the front of the side panels and dial them in as fill sound. Up front I plan on making a custom fiberglass set of kicks with separates for front imaging. I will be making my own side panels as well (I had one complete stock panel when I got the Blazer). The side panel will cover the sub enclosure except the grill on the subs. Amps will be camoflauged under the rear seat. However I'm a long way from worrying about that! I am the done frame, shell of a body stage right now. Good job!!

I had some extra dynamat and put it in there. Otherwise just those 4 cheap speakers. I did run the wireing for a sub but that will be for the next owner to install. I am building this one to sell.

Blue, did you put the carpet kit in there, or was it already installed. The reason I ask is that I like the fact that the wheel wells are covered and I would like to find out who makes the carpet kit that has them.

ABLZN - I am currently working on my interior and I bought a carpet kit from Tim Christian and the wheel well carpet was included.

Blue4x4 · 04-15-2007, 10:58 AM

The carpet was purchaced from summit racing. And the wheel well carpet from LMC. I used 3m spray glue to hold it in as it wasn't a perfit fit. Also wouldn't recomend the summit carpet either, It doesn't cover all the way to the sides. But after install the side panels, you can't tell.
