dude what grit sandpaper are you sanding with. i tried sanding my center console once, it sucked.

NiteHawk · Post by **NiteHawk** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:42 pm

use a very heavy grit (40-60) to grind out very uneven surfaces(like for grinding down nubs and other kinds of small raised points)

use a heavy grit (80-120) to level a surface

use 200-400 to smooth and feather a surface (prep for primer/paint)

use 800-1000 to get a very smooth surface

i went over a few nights ago and helped him a lil big, i believe we were using 120 on a sander to get rid of the stock "grain" on the door panels...

not sure what he uses otherwise, lol

here are my 6.5 component

this is going to be were my 5.25 speaker is going to go

all fiberglassing is done with this now to just put some filler on it, and make is smooooth.

ok heres were the 5x7 is going dont worry if you have ever seen my work you'll know it will look good

heres the drivers side door all smooth, im still waiting on my 4, 6.5 i cant primar this untill i put in the other 6.5

here's the speakers execpt for the 6x9's and the 4, 6.5
my amp for these speakers should be here any day, but i cant hook that stuff up yet untill i buy my monoblock amp for the 2 12's

heres a drawing i did probably about 4 weeks ago of what its gonna kind of look like, and instead of a bottle in the middle its going to be the mono amp.
