alrighty i will post them up...see this is our first time glassing...so we do not know we need to use...just cloth and resin or cloth resin and fiberglass mat... and what kinda cloth? can it be any kinda cloth or it has to be fiberglass cloth...because like i said we tryed to use a sheet and that do not come out good at all...

whattttttt i just seen your sig ...you got 2 18's ported in your trunk??????????????

Yeah I wanna see 2 18s in the trunk too.

 

[stilltippin863 10+ year member]

if i can fit 2 18's in a proper ported box without building box inside trunk ...i will go with the 18's instead of 15's

You got a nice build going on stilltippin...motivation for me to go clean up my install some and glass my doors.

Its possible to fit two 18s back there...just did 2 fi bl's in around 9.5 cu ft tund to 32hz. Subs up port front tight squeeze but hits low.also I cut the armrest out to get a little more are and ported about 14x4 on rear deck. ill put some pics up in next couple days. The box is still raw. Though

I would love to hear this but I glanced at your cardomain page and see you are on the other side of NC. Wanna see some videos though.

That should be interesting, cant imagine how much hell it was to fit that box in there....and 9.5ft3 sounds very small for a pair of 18s, but if it works and sounds good, then cool beans //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Looking foward to the pics...

Ya like i said when i get back ill get some pics of it in the trunk and some out of it...Im gonna be wrappin it in the next week or so...and the box wasnt built in the trunk it was just like the worlds hardest game of tetris ...but in a trunk...i had a video of the 18s on my old bb storm but i dropped it in water so i gotta take a new one. It was a nice vid...the doors wave like the trunk in my old youtube vid. But now my 2500.1 took a sh*t on me so im postponin the video until i get rebuilt/new amp and 250A alt.

old video of RE SX only on 1200rms/pr...



Stilltippin you havnt had any electrical problems due to stock alt? i think thats why my 2500.1 took a sh*t on me...

I'm just teasing you, I've only done a few fiberglass projects and give props to those who try it. It is a difficult process to get it right if you don't have a lot of experience with it.

Are you going to carpet or paint?

 

[ABMughma 10+ year member]

nice

Did you just use the back panel for the base? I was going to do this same thing with 3 12s, but I'm too lazy.

Also, does anyone know whats the deepest mids we can fit in our doors? ORRRR, what do you guys have in your doors right now, and what thickness of baffle. Like 1/2", or 3/4" mdf baffles... ? Thanks.
