Here's the old setup that I might be selling:

Here's kind of a mock up of how it'll look:

I laid down a layer of deadener and then a layer of dynaliner on top hopefully it'll get rid of some road noise:

Cleaning up the wires and putting them in wire loom, making them look a little better and getting a little more length out of them:

Everything put back and the wires just sitting there ready to be plugged in as soon as I build the box:

I made the wood cuts this morning and I have my buddies surprise b-day tonight (he's sitting right next to me as we speak and doesn't know it lol) I'll post up some more pics later tonight or early tomorrow.

Finished the box and finished carpeting it and started putting it in:

Put the XTR 250 in and it sounds incredible, you actually can't even really describe the clarity that these old school Orions put out, you'd just have to hear it:

Put the false floor on and attached the battery tray:

Put the box in and started hooking up the battery and attaching the amplifier:

Just re-used the wiring from the Sundown and cleaned it up a little to make it fit the 4 gauge terminal:

That's as far as I am right now, gonna keep working on it and finish it up as soon as my drill is re-charged //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nice lookin box, cant wait for a performance report, always wanted to do a buncha 8s..and since u had 2 great 15s u can give a good non biased opinion based on something like that

looks good.. think it would look a little better if you stretched it out a little more and took it down to window level though.. just IMO

You know I'll be honest I measured wrong because my original intention was to have it below the line and I must have messed up somewhere because it's clearly above. There's a comp. next weekend and I wanted to enter stock class but now I can't and I don't have time to rebuild it. Thanks for the compliment too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

hmm.. its hard to tell from the angle how much its over exactly.. but is there any room to take some inches off the base board?
