However, I did some shopping and bought some wood for the brackets to the trunk, so I can start installing the woofer and amps there. I've also been building a rig for the screen, despite my previous plan I decided to go 1 DIN size rig so I can use the other DIN space for something nifty like a cup+drawer tray combo.
This is how it turned out;
Pretty nice, eh? Well it's garbage, the rails get stuck from time to time, there's not enough space in any direction so it's really tight to put the screen in. I wasted about 10 hours on designing and assembling this, as there were a lot of un foreseen problems along the way. Now I just decided to give up on it, I already wasted 30 euros on the block and if I really wanted it to work I'd have to find a bigger DIN size box and start over, as the box I have is a little too small at the bottom. In the end I would probably end up with a rig that gets stuck at some point in use causing a serious headache, which seems to be the trademark of Made in Mike's Garage.
So, fuck innovation, I've now switched to well known to work- style;
It simply looks good there don't it? :) Now I will have to rig up a cover plate to fool the thieves, as in Finland, it's essentially a guarantee to get your car robbed if you place a screen in plain sight. The screen is only hold by the piece of cardboard as of now, will attach it the next time I'm at the garage. I might engineer a pivot mechanism in the bottom as I remember that the screen didn't look that good when viewing from an angle.
After that's done, I will renew the LEDs in the steering column switches as the ones I installed before burnt up in a flash. Then I will start rigging up the stuff to the boot, can't wait to fuck it up! ;)
