    Re: 2012 Charger - Veronica

    Back to the rear deck, here are the OEM speaker 'grills'.



    Not much room there for the subs to breath, and the deck cover would flutter, which some judges heard as the subs themselves.

    Turns out I made the grills a tad to big....


    The problem is on the sides. the cover has humps that clear some metal underneath them.


    well shit...
    I had three options:
    a) rebuild the grills
    b) rebuild/resurface the rear deck cover
    c) angle the grills.

    I chose the "fuck it" route:


    They are slightly misaligned, but that's because the grill mesh interferes with a couple bolts. A little nip here and there and they will line up.

    Anyway, LOTS of room for the sub to breath now

    I've been seeing people talking about FIR. I had no idea it stood for "fuck it route"

    Last weekend I got quick lesson on routing aluminum:


    Both baffles now made:


    All the pieces:


    Test fit of the driver on the baffle:


    At this point I need to wire them up and they'll be playing. Still have to cover them, but that'll happen a bit later.

    I finally got the kicks completed and installed.

    I added some finishing touches to them. I started by extending the area where they meet the factory sill piece.



    and added a lip (at the suggestion of James) where the carpet will tuck under.



    Priming, sanding, repeat and all that.

    Today it was time for carpet. The floor is built up using upholstery foam, luxury liner pro and then the carpet is glued to MLV.

    MLV:

    Passenger side:


    The lip I mentioned earlier:

    Forgot about the driver install. Nothing big here the aluminum baffle is painted flat black.




    I have a couple wrinkles to iron out but it's largely done this aspect of the car.
