'98 Neon R/T kinda SQ build.

[JayinMI 10+ year member]

OK, I did my intro, so I figured I post some pics of the progress on the car.

Right now, I'm working on my sub box to fit one 10" Kicker S10d4.

The rest of the system is probably going to consist of Pioneer components...

either 720prs's or the TS-C720d's, but I don't have them yet. Right now I'm rollin stock 6x9's and Dynex 6.5's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I plan to get these wheels:

So, I am making my speaker grilles to match.

This is for the sub:

Here's the progression of the box:

Anyway, that's where I'm at now. I need more resin and some Rage Gold, so I'll be back on it later.

Kool,good luck with the build.Why is there a cut out on the back of the enclosure?......Did u CNC the grill?

Nice work on the grill and baffle.

Nope. I used my router to build the grille. Hell, I don't even have a tablesaw right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It's 2 pieces. I might redo them in Plexi or Aluminum, but for now, these will get poly primer and paint.

The hole in the back of the box is so I can get to the inside of the box to glass the backside of the front panel. I'll glas it back in after that.

Thanks for the compliments!

Nice job with that grill, the wood work must have taken some time.

yea

this looks nice

i lik fiberglass enclosures

 

[JayinMI 10+ year member]

Not me. I don't like the way they taste. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I like the look, but they usually don't sound as good as a simple MDF box. This one is getting Dynamat Extreme on the inside too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, the grille probably took me a day by itself (to design and build).

No I have to make a bunch of smaller ones (That one is 11" across, I need 4 at 7" across and 4 at 2" across, I think...those should be fun!)
