I wonder if you'll love it once you get the 521 running.

If you are talking about the Syclone hell yes. I am already looking at maybe a 73-75 Step side next. Twin Turbo.

I think Ray would look good in a GNX.

Kick panels are done. So all the leather work is done. Capet is going to be a velour style European carpet from Relicate.com. The design is sort of old school as that's what I was looking for, simple flowing lines. Don't want that everyone else got.

Mounted the Alpine amp on the back wall. There is a molded piece from he factory to mount to. I ran some river - Nuts and made a plate to match the amp perfectly and its ready to go. We are going to run Black Leather up the back wall because I can. lolShould blend nice and fits in the seat pockets in-between. Its like magic.

Will you hide the amp?

No sir, it will be exposed, however it will blend in with the the black leather on the back caab wall.

I'm stealing your speaker cover idea. My upholstery guy normally goes over speakers with the same material as the rest of the panel, but your covers look fantastic. I also love how they are an oblique shape, not just a plain shape.

Yeah but Datsun Mike like them though. I hope he does.

Very harmonious. Not much choice for placement in a Datsun truck. Speakers? They're Kickers, right?

[mainer311]

Alright, I need to know. What is this little thing right here:

Battery disconnect. Kept it close to the battery. And way out of sight once carpet and seats are installed.

Kickers are garbage. all the newest Alpine system. 

[datzenmike]

I was referring to kicking them getting in and out. Wear your driving slippers.

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

Oh, that's what kicker means...

 

I wonder Ray, would your 3D printer guy make me a couple pairs of those?

[iceman510]

Well if it means that, then the k should not be capitalized like a proper noun in the question (yes I understand the potential humorous reference).

[datzenmike]

Kicker was an obvious hint is all. Sony made them. Maybe too obvious.

[thisismatt]

Sony made what?

[datzenmike]

Could be wrong, thought it was Sony. Explode was Sony, my bad.

I  can ask him. You need the speakers size though. This is a 3 way set up.

Funny you say that looking for some leather or suede red driving loafers in a size 14. lol

[datzenmike]

I had 4" speakers mounted in the 'kick' panels of my 620. Just how much time did I spend putting the grills back on after getting out.
