| These are photos and comments from other builders about there installation methods. |
|
This interior firewall was made of 1/4" MDF board. |

| Luis A. Yanez - (Hector's Project) The finished panels in the rear area are made out of 1/4 inch masonite, the side panels and roof trim area are made of 1/16"ABS plastic. We chose this so that we could heat the plastic and bend it to give some areas the correct shape.

| Above the subs, on one side will be mounted the amp and control box of the CVA-1005 (alpine) and above the other sub will be mounted the x-overs for the MB squart seperates along with an alpine 6 disc cd/dvd changer. All will be mounted in with leather trim panels on top, with only the components visible. The speaker boxes are made of 3/4" Medium Density Fiberboard. I am using the rear firewall as part of the enclosure so we will have to Dynamat that area. We will probably use dynamat on some of the 1/16" abs just for sound deadening. |

I cut this out of 1/4" hardboard. It works really well and endded up fitting pretty well. I will probably make the window opening just a bit bigger. More like a peep hole than a window. |

| The seatbelts I chose are perfect. I need to move them up a bit on the firewall (they are not bolted on yet that is why they look a bit off. I built a substantial structure behind the firewall to support the belts. It is never going to move. The thread on the seatbelt bolts is M12X1.25 - a unique and hard to locate tap!! |

| This is another shot. The firewall - (ha) is from .25 hardboard. Not much resistance from fire I'm afraid. I will be adding another layer
to more closely simulate the original around the window opening. |
