[46panel 10+ year member]

Well I was finally able to come home and look at my stuff. So I decided to take some pictures. Sorry wont actually have any installation pictures till around Christmas when I got a long vacation because I dont got the time to start on the build since I have to go back to school in a few days. Box will be 15 cubes after everything tuned to around 32ish with 160 sq inches of port.

Looks good. I Have those same components coming. How much did you pay for your RF amp?

I got it from my local dealer...he was having a big sale when they held their competition, so I picked it up from him.

I got that amp I believe from cartronix...it was the cheapest i could find, it was right around 160. I was going to get the last year model for a little cheaper but I am really crammed on space and this one is super small so choose that one. Rated at 75x2 but the birthsheet says 122x2 so very underrated. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Why a wall for 2 18's, especially in an explorer? i bet it will be louder with a no wall style box in the cargo area! Unless of course you are going to wall it at the b pillar and lose the back seats...

Two 18's and only one set of 6.5" components to keep up with them?

Looks like a nice setup though.

Yea I'm worried about that as well...I guess I will try it out first and go from there. Hopefully I can still hear words with just the one set for now. If not going to have to figure something out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

The reason I'm doing the wall is because 1) the first FI 18" I ever heard was 1 BTL in a wall in a blazer behind the rear seats with only 800 watts and it was LOUD (subject to what I think is loud). 2) The box that is designed is 30" tall which is only like 4 inches from the ceiling, which I've heard if its so close to the ceiling will cause problems. 3) I'm used to not having a rear view mirror due to my summer vehicle, so the lack of vision doesnt bother me. 4) Because I want to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I know it is a very good possibility that it could be louder subs up port back, and if I hate the way the wall sounds, then I'll just replace the box and try something else //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Thanks for the replies/concerns tho.
