i honestly couldnt tell you - every weekend i was buying more material when i should have bought in bulk

when through loads of FG resin, about 4/5 sheets of matting, couple of tubs of p38 and p40, about 4 t-shirts ( free from work ;) ), wood etc...

i went in with a plan which got changed and kept getting changed lol but next time ill compensate!

thanks

latest progress:

since its a pissy day and i cant do to much with the car outside i decided to try make a mount for my ipod!

i have the white dock for it which i dont use so I have chopped up the centre console infront of the gear stick for the "cup holders" (crap anyway)

perfect fit so far so filling the sides with foam and cutting the shape out - dont know what to do tho about covering it tho :confounded:

top job on the boot install mate

u done a proper tidy job on that centre sub-mount lad, but have u checked to make sure its a decent size (volume) to giv u optimum sound from the sub??

no point havin it ALL SHOW, NO GO... iv done a few custom sub installs, but the box that they r in usually sucks the life out of it, giving u a ****e sound...

and im liking the lil iPod mount too... thats gona be well trick... just dont get carried away and try to make ur own bucket seats ffs lol..

best of luck with it anyways

(y) (y) (y) (y) (y) (y) (y)

any probs with the wiring, or getting the whole system running right, contact me thru the site and il advise ya the best i can, as im sure all the other sound fellas on here will do too...

i had the exact same idea for the ipod boydie it is a waste of space 4 me also!!

dont do it yet!!!

i only found out, for some reason, the ipod will not work through the dock connected via the alpine adaptor! :mad:

dont know why this is - maybe a different pin configuration but i dont see why :confounded:

still a work in progress!!

thanks lads :laughing:

I dont have a adaptor, my head unit has an aux input in the front so mines is just connected using a cable. I'll also hafta buy a car charger and adapt it to fit. It saves money aslong as it works lol
