I am redoing my current set up. I pulled everything out. I have a XR600-6DSP and 2 Rf 1200.1d amps with dual RF p3 wired to 2 ohms and kenwood 4 channel to power the front dash speakers. Everything performed well but i wanted a ported box.
So i had a box designed and i modified it a bit to meet my needs. I ditched the RF amps for a wolfram 4500 watt amp and a DC elite XL 12". Right now i completely gutted the trunk and i am working a close to a 100 percent dynamat xtreme coverage. I am having my headliner removed so i can apply soundskins pro on the roof as well. I am also adding two XS Power XP750SE in the trunk and I recently replaced the front battery with an XS Power D3400. The amp wont be in for a few weeks but its motorcycle riding season so it doesn’t matter to me, i have all summer to get this done.
Previous build, this is really my first attempt at a build. I was happy with but there was some things i wanted to change.
Here i am building the new box, i chose to use biscuit, probably overkill but i wanted to make a strong box.
I made a little jig to help hold the wall of the port while the glue dries.
I stained the port and put a bull nose on the end of it.
Here is my test fit. The sub is going to be aiming at the hole where the stock sub was that i removed.
The port will be to the left of the window and the inside of the box will be white with a 3/4 acrylic window. this is how it will sit. Right now i dont want to build vertical supports for inside the box but I might have to. I am considering some options to make the top stronger. One of my thoughts is to make it out of 3/4 birch or (2) 1/2 layers of mdf. I dont want to go much thicker due to
fitting it in the trunk. Its pretty tight.
Here is my battery set up for the spare tire spot. I have fans under the kenwood amp and I am planning on adding more fans to keep air moving not sure yet how I want to do it yet. One fuse holder is going to be my remote signal distribution and the other is going to be for my fan distribution controlled by an smd fan controller.
