Pictures of speaker conection,sound proofing and speaker pod

Post by donkey »

Hi all,
As promised last week pictures of where to feed the cable to connect door speakers.

Image

Image
Used the hole that was all ready there so no drilling required. The hole is behind the glove box. (There are two to choose from next to each other).

Image
You need to drill a hole in the air duct then use a rubber grommet to cover the sharp edges before feeding the cable into the door. I used a 3/8" drill a grommet to suit. You can drill the holes without removing the doors (If you do not use a grommet the sharp edge will cut through the cable in time).

Image
Drilled hole in such a possition that when the steering cover is on you cannot see the cable.

Steve,
thanks for the wiring pictures - definitely useful.

What is the soundproofing material you have used? Can you say how much and where from? Does it make a noticeably difference?

thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,
I bought the sound proofing off ebay, it was £65 including postage for 50Sq Ft. That is enough to do both front doors, the cab floor and the sliding door with some left over. The doors have two layers of sound proofing.
It is made from a tar like material on one side which is sticky and the other is foil backed. In hot weather you can just stick it onto the surface once it is clean, in colder weather you can use a heat gun. The good thing about this proofing is that it moulds into every crease of the body work and stays like it and is the best sound proofing material I have used. I used a small roller to make sure it was down firmly.
It does make a big differance, when you are on the outside of the van and you tap the pannels they are very tinny but the sound proofed doors have a solid sound and the road noise is reduced.
This is the sellers name on ebay I bought the sound proofing off. You can buy it in any size from him.
