petekadish Posted January 4, 2009 #1 Posted January 4, 2009 A little while ago, just after completing the install of a power-amp in the trunk, I got to wondering what it would look like to line the inside of the trunk and make it look like the inside of the trunk of a car. So, I asked a friend of mine who used to build custom speakers boxes if he had any old speaker-cloth sitting around. He did and he provided me with a few yards for this project. The attached pictures are the result. What do you think? Pete.
hayes Posted January 4, 2009 #2 Posted January 4, 2009 Very nice. I wouldn't mind mine looking like that. I wonder if I could make it look that good. Excellent work. Dennis '06 Venture
99silver Posted January 4, 2009 #3 Posted January 4, 2009 Will you do mine, you can come over next Monday. LOL Looks great, maybe Yamaha would hire you !! Gary
petekadish Posted January 4, 2009 Author #5 Posted January 4, 2009 Just so I'm not overcome with undeserved praise, I didn't do the actual work myself. I had a guy who I have had do previous work on my accent lighting do it for me. But thanks, he did do an awesome job. It took him a few hours, a razor knife, a lot of patience and a big ol' can of spray adhesive. I just supplied the idea. I have lots of those, just not too many skills. Pete.
99silver Posted January 4, 2009 #6 Posted January 4, 2009 You can do mine next Dave, You have Eck in Huntsville, He's a darn good fabricator.
ibents Posted January 4, 2009 #7 Posted January 4, 2009 Looks great Pete, maybe if you brought a few yards of that to Don's M D you would have guy's lined up for it, sure would look good in mine. Ian
Mariner Fan Posted January 4, 2009 #8 Posted January 4, 2009 Pete, That looks real nice. I'm sure everyone would like to line their trunks like that. Well done!

Might I suggest the top also. That would prevent helmet scratechs from the mounting bolts that are there.
gibvel Posted January 4, 2009 #11 Posted January 4, 2009 Question. Is it stuck down permanently so there's no access to the bolts in case they loosen and need to be tightened or you need to take the trunk off to get to the CB? You know, that kind of thing. I assume you stuck the covering to the foam pad for the bottom so there's acces to the bolts.
bongobobny Posted January 4, 2009 #13 Posted January 4, 2009 Needs a little fake wingnut for access to the spare tire... Very good job, looks excellent!
DragonRider Posted January 4, 2009 #14 Posted January 4, 2009 Well sure looks good inside that trunk of that 2nd gen, But does it make it go any faster, can you catch a 1st gen with it now...........:stirthepot::rotf::rotfl:
N3FOL Posted January 4, 2009 #15 Posted January 4, 2009 The install looks very nice and neat and does not take away a lot of space in the truck. I wish I can hear how the final product sounds. With the extra load on the electrical system, do you notice any dimming of lights at night? Just curious.
SilvrT Posted January 4, 2009 #16 Posted January 4, 2009 Looks great. I was planning to do that with mine too. I did that on my '87 and I made a "false bottom" that was easy to lift out. I also made a small divider that goes from the front to the back, held in place with velcro, leaving about a 4 or 5 inch wide "pocket" for those smaller things, keeping them separated from anything else. Sorry, no pics.
BEER30 Posted January 4, 2009 #17 Posted January 4, 2009 Now ya need to place one of them WOOFER speakers in the trunk . So you can give them ear shattering BOOM-BOOM-BOOM annoying base sound beats ! BEER30
