[QUOTE="x2o, post: 5454542, member: 582175"] I know it's an old build log, but figured I'd give a status update. I ended up mounting the Crunch GP3k on the box, and the amp died on my around September-October, can't remember exactly. Crappy solder joints popped from vibrations and some FET's shorted. Seems to be a common problem with certain people with GP3k's. I've since painted the box, mounted it firing forwards, and got a Sundown 3000D to power the beast. Sub runs much cooler with the Sundown 3000D as opposed to the Crunch. I think the Crunch was sending a bit of a clipped signla. My voltage dropped a lot lower with the GP3k as well. (12.7). Now I'm dropping to 13.5. Also got rid of the RSD's and dropped in some RE XXX Components. Still running off the Kicker ZX350.4 until I get a more powerful amp. No pics of the comps installed yet cause I need to glass the door panels, as right now they look like hell and I'd rather not show that [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]. (Jigsaw + My tired as hell + door panels not fitting over the 3/4 MDF baffles + 2a.m. with work the next day... you can guess what went down [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]). Here's some pics, my trunk is broken (not sure how, but it won't open), so I can't open the trunk or fold down my seats until I can get it fixed...
