Well it’s about time to upload the regular monthly work images so without further ado, let us begin. As per usual we’ll start with the source units. All neatly tied, soldered and heat shrunk for safety:

And while we’re at the front of the car, let’s not forget the under bonnet cable and fusing. Connections are crimped and then soldered so they cannot vibrate loose over time. Cable ends are soldered to avoid stray strands and all fuse holders sit on custom made brackets and / or Perspex plates to avoid cutting metal:

Earths also need to be upgraded of course:

And once the cables are running, they need to be neat and tidy too of course:

We seemed to do a lot of underfloor hiding of amplifiers this month:

Not to mention hiding subwoofer enclosures underneath things too:

While we’re on the subject of enclosures; here are a couple of shots of enclosures coated in deadening paint to combat internal resonance:

And speaking of combating noise, resonance, vibrations and what have you, here is the usual pile of sound deadening and diffusion shots for the month:

When installing doors you should always make baffles that screw through the factory holes to avoid damaging the door. You must also seal the baffle to the door. Once this is done, the speakers are then soldered, heat shrunk and themselves are fitted with a gasket before being mounted:
