Re: 2007 Ford Escape Rebuild...
So its been a while since i updated this. So i have started on the sub box. After i get that in i should be able to get going on the rest of the stuff. I am looking at some material to wrap my doors, trying to get as close to matching as possible. Once i get that i should be good on the rest of the build. So here we go with the box progress.
The wood is all cut.

Re: 2007 Ford Escape Rebuild...
In between coats i got the wood filler sanded down on the screw holes on the box, (well my daughter did most the sanding). 3yrs old today and still able to put in work. I still had to touch it up but we got it done.

Re: 2007 Ford Escape Rebuild...
So just a small update of the work i got done....
Started with an amp rack and it is going attach to the box...
Here you see that there is a little air space on the bottom to help let them breath a little...
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3dbb72cd.jpg
This is a shot of it from the top...
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps10e6d39e.jpg
A shot of it put into the truck...
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps388c07c2.jpg
Here you see around the box it is going to be attached to the box surrounding the amps. I am going to have it covered and cut out a portion of it so you could see the AQ of all the amps.

Re: 2007 Ford Escape Rebuild...
Alright so i decided it was time for me to get these to start playing... So i did just that got this thing playing, i know i still have a lot of work to get done. So on to the pics.
Since i was going to start getting the subs playing i went ahead and opened the other box today and that contained the DC XL. To my surprise i seen a lanyard in there with a sticker. Was pretty excited about that as i was going to be buying a lanyard.

Well i started to get all the wiring done for the subs.

Using these to wire the subs to the correct ohm i need. I had them just laying around so i decided to use them.
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...psaa0f2dc8.jpg
Got everything wired up, yes i know they need to get cleaned up. Also the subs in

Just a little disappointment. I had the holes cut out good but i still seemed to have some of the material lift up and peel away.

Got my second battery installed and my be getting another one
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5d388746.jpg

Re: 2007 Ford Escape Rebuild...
So i will try to get vids up tomorrow. But first i must say this seems a lot louder than my previous setup. They are more vicious and do really get down. Although my overall satisfaction was down a little as i thought i would achieve a hair trick... No big deal there by any means as i do get some movement of hair and a good shirt trick. I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with the box and may play around with different tracks. Aside from hair tricks i am very happen with the setup.
