Introduction
The kick panels and fenders were removed. All computers were relocated, some to the trunk.
Holes were cut through the body. Sealed enclosures made of MDF, fiberglass, Bondo, and
Dynamat were constructed. These enclosures were bonded to the body and the drivers were
installed. Grills were made to match.
Before
Installation
This picture shows the stock kickpanel without any speakers.
Notice the parking brake.
After
Installation
The parking brake was removed due to clearance problems. An
electric parking brake with a switch was added to maintain this function. Grills were
contructed to protect the speakers.
Construction
The fenders were removed. The area to be cut was marked. The
body was cut to make an opening for the enclosure.
Enclosures
A sealed enclosure was constructed to house the drivers. The
enclosure was shaped to fit within the wheel well. It was then coated with fiberglass to
form an air-tight enclosure. The enclosure was then covered with Dynamat for sound
damping.
Baffles and
Crossovers
These pictures show the front side of the kickpanel baffle, back
side, and installation. Passive crossovers that come with the Dynaudio
System 240 were mounted under the rear seat.
