well as long as the weathermen didnt screw up the forecast, i'll be finishing up a few projects ive been wanting to get done for a while.

#1 - finish up deadening the hell outta my car. ive got ~20ft of edead v1, a gallon of v3, and half a gallon of xterminator(the other half is already applied)

#2 - re-route my power wires, rca's, speaker wire, and move my amps. the rca's and speaker wire for my comps are gonna be run right up the center of the car, rather than under the dash, down the door jamb, and back to the truck. this should get me a few extra feet of play in the wires. the power wire is just gonna get re-run in a more direct/safe way.

#3 - install my new antenna wiring harness. while ive got the interior out, im gonna replace the antenna wiring from the h/u to the antennas. the origional got pinched, and shorted out. i fixed it but ive never had great reception since. hopefully this will fix that.

#4 - amp rack - i'm gonna make a simple amp rack so the amps can breathe instead of being stuck under the false floor.

#5 - install the barbed inserts in my box and bolt the subs down.

lots of pics to follow guys. i should be able to knock alot of that stuff out while im waiting for the v3 to dry.

woops, im not sure if it's supposed to be there, but if someone wants to move this to the general construction/fabrication forum, go for it. i know theres a "project" thread in there.

well im just getting the pics up now bc everything took ALOT longer than i expected, and before i knew it, it was 7pm, then i had to eat, and spend some time with the g/f, so yea....heres the pics....oh yea, my amps still arent hooked back up, my rca's and speaker wire arent re-run yet, and my barbed inserts/bolts havent been put to use yet


heres the supplies: the black can has about a half gallon of Xterminator liquid deadening, the silver is a gallon of v3, next to them is a 10' roll of v1, and the remains(~6ft) of another roll of v1, and the wires are the new antenna harness. the rest of that gallon of Xterminator has already been used on the doors and hatch floor. note to self - dont leave v3 sit in the corner of your room for over 7 months, and dont let v1 sit in an ice cold attic for the winter


heres my hatch with the box removed


lift up the carpet and the false floor, and surprise!! my amps. yea they get a little stuffy under there


heres the little bit of v1 i got to put on over the summer


heres my speaker wires and rca's running up the side of the rear seat. theyre wrapped in "expano-tubing" that i got off ebay. $15 for 100'. its awesome


heres how my power wire is ran, it used to snake up through the 1/4 panel, but now i ran it similar to how the rca's and speaker wire are currently ran


heres my naked hatch, waiting for some deadening


heres the 10' roll of v1 applied. the remains of the first roll of v1 was shot bc i guess the extreme cold made the backing not sticky any more. as i unrolled it, the paper backing pretty much would just fall off, and no matter how much i warmed it up, or rolled it out, it wouldnt get sticky again. oh well, no biggie, the other roll i had was fine, and was more than enough.



now heres why you dont leave v3 sitting in the same spot for 7 months. it settles, and the bottom becomes GOOEY. at first i thought it was ruined, and had started to set up, but after about 20 min of stirring, it mixed back together nicely. thats a big lump of goo hanging from the stick that stuck to the stick while i was stirring. the top inch or so if the gallon was purely blue water


heres some pics of what i got done today. after about 2pm, it got cool and windy so the v3 took a while to dry, so i only got about a half gallon applied.

I just got two gallons of V3. What did you use to apply it? Stiff paint brush? I've heard to cut off some of the bristles and use the short stubby ends.

i used a cheap bristle brush to apply it
