My headunit is bluetooth so I play my tunes through the iphone and just turn it on and either put it in my PA doorbag or my pocket.Sometimes in the little pouch on my harnesses.

Yea I just have an ipod shuffle...damn those things are high lol. $100 just for a place to put my ipod! That would get me a speaker!

just started my console the other day, I will keep posted as I progress.I posted pics in members area. Keep in mind that some measurements my be different on your utv if you use my design.This is on a 2012 800 rzr with the sport roof. Hopefully I can start cutting out the wood tomorrow.Any question I'll be more than happy to answer.

After bondo and then primed

Ready to install

Finished
I welded tabs on the cage for it to bolt to
All of my electronics are mounted in the rood easily accessible by removing a few bolts to pull off the roof panel.

Took me awhile to do but turned out great.

That is the sweetest setup I think I've seen. Wish I could do that kind of work

Magic, how do you pull the t-shirt away from the wood after it is ready?

You can do it! Its not that hard to do and whats the worse than can happen? Ifyou like it you have a cool part that you made yourself. If it doesnt turn out to suit you just throw it away and start over. Always here to answer questions or help.

Magic, how do you pull the t-shirt away from the wood after it is ready?

You dont pull it away it becomes part of the structure. Think of it like this. Your skeleton is pine strips about 1/2x 1 1/2and that is covered with thin plywood in the large areas .then when you stretch the Tshirt material over everything your making a cloth skin .The cloth skin will bridge the gaps and smooth out the shape creating slopes and round off areas to make it all kind of flow together. BUT it needs to be a hard tough surface. The Resin will soak through the tshirt material bonding it to the wood where it touches and will make it solid where it is stretched between areas with no wood touching it. Areas with no wood will require more resin to make it strong enough. If you were going to use this like a free form you would need to use fiberglass matt for strength. Thats why I use light weight materials like pine and very thin plywood. It just needs to be strong enough to hold everything together until it gets resin coated . Once its coated and hardens it joins all the weak pieces together makin it very strong ...And it doesnt weigh a ton. Thats why I dont use MDF because its too heavy.

That looks awesome fourteen,did you do that in glass or is that bedliner spray (duraliner),really like all the speakers,that 4 by really lets your design run wild.

 

[rock31]

[Fourteen]

Thanks.....it is a bedliner spray. Looks likes you have a nice project going yourself. What are your plans on mounting the amp if you are doing one?
