T6.1 4Motion Camper-Conversion to carry dogs

Starting with speakers replacement.
I bought ETON UG VW T6 F2.1 speakers upgrade, but as you can see from picture, Eton speakers diameter are way to big for T6.1.
Anyway... I will install Eton on the back side, once the furniture is finished... I decided to mount Hertz MPK 130.3 PRO System with woofers, tweeters and crossover.
Eton is too big..

Welcome to the club! I was looking at your photos and noticed a side table with a plant pot in the background? Either you've got a posh garage, or the Mrs is going to be really p*ssed off when she comes home to find you've parked your 'project' in the lounge!!!
...and "work in progress" of extruded alu frame in 3D viewer

You're bringing this to another level. Very impressed! How does the weight compare to conventional timber cabinets?
Estimated weight of extruded alu frame is ~36kg (~45m).
Nice work, looks good. Just a thought on the extruded aluminium frame. Maybe you should introduce a break in the solid line between the rear door and the drivers seat?
If you had a rear end crash that long frame member 'might' get pushed straight forward into the space occupied by the drivers seat.
Just a thought.
Great suggestion!
Bugger.. I've just sat through a 20 min video in German on how to fit these speakers... I presumed the t6.1 door was the same as the t6... thank god I found your post!Starting with speakers replacement.

Hi there,
I've recently finished a kitchen pod using 30 x 30 aluminum profiles, I used a company called KJN they cut them all to size so it saved me alot of time.
Then I used 5mm ply for the panels which I covered with DC Fix film from B&Q.
I'm pleased with how it turned out. I'm currently building a rear low level unit to match.

Hey, did you produce these 3D models? If so what program did you use? I want to draw up some racking for my van to make it before the van comes but can’t find any good dimensions.
I "found" a 3Dmodel of VW T6 somewhere on the internet. It was LWB version so I simply cut a mesh in 3D software and therefore the model is not 100% accurate. While working with ALU profiles this is not so important anyway.. I mostly work with Rhino3D because I can export files for CNC router easily.
When I start cutting the furniture I will scan the interior with a 3D scanner.
Cool. I will keep searching. I use SketchUp pro For my furniture designs and can export components as svg files to cut on shaper origin. Hopefully I can find something that works with it or just wait til the van comes and get some proper measurements then.
Good luck with the project
Finished the aluminum construction on which I will mount ply panels.
There are two dog cages at the back of the van, one on top of the other. I just mount sandwich panels (3mm alu composite) to the lower cage and insulated it with 20mm foam on the other side to reduce vibration.
