Altima Coupe SQ build
- Thread starter lowcel

Thanks. I used fiberglass as a first layer to fill in all the holes. After that was bondo since it really didn’t have to be that thick.

Same plastic end, but different barrel... I looked too, but couldn’t find any with the grooves cut around the base, very similar style end though, if not the same with a different barrel
look a very compact plug compared to the reans I used for my home brew RCA’s... the only downside I see to those is the lack of shielding present on the run between plugs... however I can honestly say I’ve never picked up noise in an install bar once or twice when I had... ironically... a damaged rca lead or a blown pico fuse on a pioneer
I will however be knocking some up exactly like those with silver plated copper to see if I can hear any difference to my van Damme/rean combo I currently have kicking about I only had a few hours to work on the car yesterday but I made a little progress.
Ever covered panels when it was so cold that the glue froze?
Amps mounted using security screws.
JL twk 88 and Mosconi DSP AMAS 96K. Twk mounted with security screws. Mosconi will be “mounted” with Velcro.
Fuse and distribution blocks.
Hopefully I’ll be starting cover panels next weekend weather permitting.

It seemed to work okay. There weren't any really complicated pieces. These panels aren't as critical as others will be.
I've heard the amps in Jeremy W's old Audi and they sounded pretty good. That's the only time I've heard them but I have confidence in them. They really have taken good care of me on the speakers so I have to give them a shot. Plus, Casey is a pretty dang good guy.
Loving the build, especially the RCA's and the use of the security screws! Although, for me, I'd have to stock up on security bits for fear of losing them LOL.
On a personal level, I'm terrible with names, but I believe we met at bertholomeys May GTG... I think you were driving a 4 Runner and brought your wife, do I have that correct?

Thank you. Yep, we met at the the GTG. I have the 4Runner, my name is Bruce.
Glad you cleared things up and mentioned the cane. There were so many ugly guys there that really wouldn't have narrowed it down.

Ahh, so thats how it's going to be, huh?
I made some more progress on the car this weekend. I still have a lot to do but it’s getting closer. Everything in the trunk is at the level of the factory floor with the exception of the subwoofer. It sticks up approximately 3/4” above the factory floor. Everything except the sub is protected by plexiglass.
I started doing the wiring. All wires will be protected with techflex and secured with zip ties every six inches or less and attached to the floor to make sure nothing moves. Any splices are made via solder and heat shrink.
The cover panels are press fit and I can get to any fuse by removing one or two screws. I used Phillips head screws on the plexiglass to make it easier to remove in case of an emergency. All components are secured using tamper resistant torx head screws. Screws used to mount the subwoofer are temporary until I find some #8 x 2” security screws.
