That's going to be one loud ****ing setup.

Looking forward to the rest of the build!

He already has nice amps that have enough power for those subs. And do you really think the build quality on a hifonics amp can compare to a JL audio amp?

If you are questioning the build quality on the GP3000D then you are an idiot. It has been proven time and time again it is an excellent amp, and dollar for watt the best on the market for the price. I think it is funny that just because it is a Crunch amp that it gets lumped together with all their other junk shit. But then again people talk shit about products they have never heard or tested The JL's are more than adequate for this build.

You seem to know me so well, have you tested a 1000/1 before? I don't see why you take my opinion of this amp so seriously. Of course the crunch would be better in certain applications, but since this guy has 4 1000/1s already, I don't really see the need for him to change amps.

Maybe he bought it used from a benz dealership?

Ya, it was a euro car dealer that just had a lot of Benz's.

It's my step moms car and my dad hates it haha.

I didn't get too much done today, too many distractions. Here's what I got done.

I may do a little fiberglassing later when I get back home.

More to come later tonight.

Havent seen many people glass the edges of boxes before, nice work.

maybe sell the JL stuff and run a IA40.1? keeping with the IA setup.

That was one of my thoughts. Once my w7's sell I'm going to grab some new amps.

Got the baffle done today, going to attach it to the rest of the box tomorrow along with a little fiberglassing.

Box should be done tomorrow. On to the deadener on the roof.

I just used a circular saw. It's not hard, just set it to 45 degrees and keep a steady hand.

I can take a pic or two tomorrow if you want.

Very nice build but are you saving your screws for another project?

Not particulary, though I did use every last one haha. Just going to let the glue do its job.

The reson I preach about screws is because I ran 2 18s in my Explorer powered off of 1 JBL Crown. One day I was fooling around on the meter and my score had gone down alittle over a DB.

To make a long story short, I found that my baffle had pulled apart from the box at the bottom (approx. 1/2 inch) and it was screwed and glued.

I guess if you have enough power, these things can happen.
