Box is done. Got all holes drilled and everything sanded down. Doesn't look the cleanest but oh well. Stain will go on tomorrow, to be followed by poly.

Subs also shipped, will be here Friday.

Well, stain is on. Doesn't look spectacular, and you can tell where the glue is, but it's progress. Poly should bring the color out a little too.

It's about 5 cubes. It's large enough to port with some stuffing if I want to.

Two coats of poly:



Done with that. Now I need to work on wiring, which is going to be harder than I thought. Not sure how I'm going to distribute power. I think I have enough stuff, just need to sit down and figure out how with the stuff I have. Have to remove one each power and ground run from the truck, I have two from front to back now. Need to extend my speaker wires. Need to go and buy an RCA extension for the SS amp which I totally forgot about. Subs should be here tomorrow. Might not be able to get it done this weekend, and I'll be in San Diego next week. Hopefully next weekend if not this.

Thanks man. Yeah I'll probably get a video. Not going to be flex or anything, and I believe you can't really tell SQ at all either, but I'll get something.

Well, woke up and removed two of the front-to-back runs in the truck and brought the two G31's back in this morning while it was still somewhat cool. I'm going to roll with only the underhood battery. If I need more I'll be getting a bank of caps.

Figured out what I'm doing for wiring too. Got done what I could while it's still inside:





That buss bar was one of two across the batteries before, just cut it and reused it. Those fuse holders I just cut the end off of and screwed 'em down in place. Terminal strips are awesome, as always. The wiring looks all neat right now, but once I get the other stuff in there that's still in the truck it won't be so pretty lol.

Waiting on delivery of the subs literally any minute now. Have to buy RCA extensions. Anyone think I'll lose a lot of fidelity with barrel connectors?

It will be in this weekend.
