The Saturn: Can't stop there. (Dual 18's upgrade)

Already posted in this thread but dam, looking at this makes me want to rip everything out of my jeep and change it up a bit. Like the effort that u put into this as far as doing things as they should be done, such as deadener, electrical, and of course a nicely designed box. Looking foward to finished results and some TL #'s.

Thanks man, only the best for my baby //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Haha, maybe...but I just did my mpg math last fill-up and I got 28.4 mpg //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif...but that's with nothing drawing on the alt's though...that may change mpg a pretty fair amount, we'll see after everythings in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

A little done today..

Toar out the excess foam-monster that was pouring out..



45 degree insert for the corner..



Sealed up..



I decided the rear batteries didnt look mean enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif..so I added some ground runs on the busbar to make future battery/amp upgrades a breeze (so that I dont have to try and get runs on the negative busbar which will have the port hovering over it...it'd be kinda cramped)

Some port pieces cut and layed out..



No pics after that because I basically sat down and started seeing what kind of port length I'll be getting with this and I may have to shorten the port a bit because im pretty sure it'll be tuned even lower than I wanted *gasp* with it like this...tomorrow I should be able to get the port dimensions settled and underway on construction..

More as it happens

nice nice, yah lets see how much it drops after puttin a heavy load on them dualies ;d or you got one isolated for only the audio load?

Click to expand...

Nope, nothing is isolated...both alt's are hooked upto the front battery then connected to the back with the 4 runs of power and 4 runs of ground //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yep 13-ply baltic birch. And the smaller sheets (2' x 4') are 15.50 give or take some change.

^Thanks for clearing that up..didnt pay too much attention to what exactly it was.

And Ive got the tuning taken care of...I calculate tuning/enclosure specs in my sleep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
