[Nobody's Louder 10+ year member]

Well I guess its time I start one, I pick up my equipment on the 17th from RD's new shop, I just live a couple hours a way so I figured I'd save myself the shipping, and well Id rather meet them in person then just always communicating over the phone.

A list of everything I bought as of now $1000 on the spot

- 2 15" Sonance D2 Upgraded coils

- 50ft Blue Competition Series Power Wire (0G) http://www.tsunamionline.com/product.php?id=747

- 50ft Speaker Wire woven (12G) http://www.tsunamionline.com/product.php?id=580

- 2 set of 17' 2 Channel RCA's ( not sure which kind they are yet but steve said that they are the best RCA's from Tsunami of 2008)

- 4 Fuse holders http://www.tsunamionline.com/product.php?id=545

- 2 sets of these (0G) http://www.tsunamionline.com/product.php?id=122

Everything is competition series from Tsunami except Battery Terminals which are from Knu.

Box will be about 6-6.5 cubes after displacement, tuned to 34hz. Box will be 17Hx34Wx?D Steve told me Mike would let me know the exact dimensions when I get up there.

Well time for pics of whats gone on so far with the build. Just so you guys know I am walling it off from the trunk. My only question is how do I seal off the rear deck where there use to be 6x9's, recommendations are appreciated thanks.

I am still trying to figure out how to secure it to the floor of my trunk. Suggestions anybody?

 

[Nobody's Louder 10+ year member]

And how would you guys go about sealing off these holes, Suggestions much appreciated.











More to come soon I plan on doing some stuff towards the rear of the trunk with some hidden doors and stuff and utilizing the wheel well for some extra batteries when I get them. I dont know how to draw up pics and post them up so you guys could get a better visual.

Any help is appreciated and Im sure some dont understand what i am doing yet but it will soon all be understandable.

you're f*cked when you get a flat.

Nice job on the floor. I would take a roundover bit all around it. scuff it resin it then paint it.

As far as the holes, great stuff foam works great. Let it expand out of the holes and shave it off then dynamatt it.

In for more pics!

I know well i would be screwed either way cuz my box will be covering at least half of the wheel well anyways.

Thank You, yea I wasnt sure what i was gonna do with the edges of the floor being that when its all done you wont be able to see any of it. But I will be doing Black and Blue Suede for everything after its all installed.

Yea I was planning on using great stuff but wasnt sure, and what about the 6x9 hole they are so big how would i great stuff that area? I was thinking just put a piece of cardboard underneath temporarily to great stuff it then remove it at the end.

I used a couple layers of dynamatt on the rear deck. It sounds like a huge thud when you hit it!

So I should just dynamat the entire rear deck instead of great stuffing the holes then dynamatting then? How much Dynamat did you use on your car seeing as our cars are similiar?

I just got done adding my 3rd Trunk kit. All of which is on the rear deck and the trunk.

are you going IB? why seal everything? I left my 6x9 holes open in the deck but put tons of deadener everywhere. I did great stuff the trunk lid and the area going up into the c pillars. getting the trunk solid helped a bit but I always wanted a way to keep the the gas tank door from flappin.

IB? one of the few terms I dont remeber lol. But one i know it will help on the mic even though I dont do major comps (yet) just more local. And also I just dont like how bad my rear quarter panels flex. and I cant exactly get to my quarter panels to dynamat them, at least i dont think I can.
