Got my buddy up here to tune the system. I can kinda tune. What this guy can do is magic.
He does remote tunes as well. They are fantastic, but his 'in person' tunes are better as he can use his ears and specialty tracks to tweak.

Laid glass for the base/home for the dsp controller. Not many options in the car and controller is a pita to separate the screen from the dial and buttons

Let's see if this works....
I thought I had pics of how I built it, but cant find em 😕. Glass was laid to make the bottom, sides, and part closest to shifter. I basically used thin strips of baltic birch glued in for the basic shape and laid fantastic glass (tiger hair) over it. Installed back into console and pushed body filler into the edges to make the fit perfect. I didn't have enough texture coat left in the can to finish today.

Finished up the DSP controller housing. May add a USB port to the right for tuning the DSP. I used kitty hair to bond 16lb magnets under the tray and bonded 16lb magnets inside the housing to hold it all in place

Honestly in awe of your setup and knowledge/skills to build this out. Hoping to try my hand on a smaller scale sometime down the road.

Well, the changes and the tune from my buddy worked out fantastic at its debut.
Now tryin to get the headliner down to dampen it.
