THREADMINE!......but its my own thread so thats okay isnt it?
anyway - just though i'd update this thread to what it was supposed to represent - a gradual build up of a few mods here and there....
well, stage 1 was exterior
then now the outside is mostly done i have moved on to the inside

i was hoping to see a supercharger or something like that.
good choice in audio
What mods are you planning on doing? It's been 7 months since you began. Got a wishlist?
As for superchargers, I just noticed in the archive section that AussieMagna no longer endorse Sprintex due to the large number of faults and quality (or lack thereof) of customer service. Does TMR's endorsement affect this in any way?

Few progress pics......taking a long time this install due to work, family, and just plain fussiness - most of he work is completed now, the back end is essentially finished - forgot to take pic after all speaker and rca leads were laid and dynamat was also laid on the wheel arches under the back seat
All work is very tidy and clean, it may be just a plain ordinary install - but very neat and tidy in the end...
onto a few pics....

a few more pics for all those who are not interested in this thread:D
as mentioned in another thread - i picked myself up a factory bluetooth kit......then had to backtrack as i had installed th RF360 in the spot where the bluetooth lives......RF360 is now under dash on drivers side - just above where the temp sensor for the climate control is located......
Subbox is now finished and installed......al that is required now is to dynamat the bootlid, and front doors - you can see from the pic of the door it is pretty user friendly...they even decided to steer away from lock rods, and instead use cables......shoulda been done years ago to the magna's.......I have made MDF panels for the service hole - where the wiring comes through the door with the big rubber boot - im just going to fir 2 bits of 6mm MDF glued together to sit inside the boot and dynamat over the top.....
Where the speakers are mounted to the door is already angled, so just a 18mm MDF panel to go in there, to hold the speaker in place - also made up 2 really small 6mm MDF panels for the tweets - they will be mounted in the same location as the factory tweet....the factory tweet is actually a 2 way speaker.......
gettin close ladies and gentlemen!
anyone else here gone this far yet with an audio install in a 380?

Not here on AMC, that's for sure - and probably nowhere this side of a sound auto salon type show thingie.
Very good installation work there, especially the sub in the boot and the amps mounted on the sides. Nice.

unfortunatly no further updates at this time - cash is a little short at present, and also the minister for war and finance is not on my side, I still wish to lower her and change rims - at least to series 3 vrx if i cant talk her into lettin me get something good aftermarket that really suits the car
i dont have any pics of the factory speakers, but can take some....
now bass in a wagon.......you just cant beat it i think......my sub used to hit so hard in my old verada wagon that it would literally move the hair on my head - 'tis a shame i lose alot of that with it in a boot!....but still awesome though!
