Looking good!!!

Glad you did all thread as that 7ply birch is very soft/flexible. Might want to add some 2x4 bracing on the outside if you have room.

Also you used literally 3x the screws you needed to use LOL Every 4-6" is all that is needed....

I wanted to use some good ***** but couldn't find any, anywhere but I **** sure wasn't gonna use MDF.. Too much weight. I figured 3 5/8 all thread should be sufficient.

Any you think I should still do 2x4s on the sides even though it's double layered everywhere?

And I know I know, I've always been like that on any box over 2k. I know the glue is what holds it together but it make me feel better about it with more screws. Especially since I'm running 8k+rms

If any of the panels have spans of 16" or longer with no bracing then yes I'd do 2x4's. Even doubled up the 7ply isn't that strong.

You must buy 10# buckets of screws lol

Awesome man. I saw the purple my friend had and just knew that's what I wanted, the techflex and other things I have match it perfectly.

Looks awesome. Youll be loud for sure. Buddy had same car with 2 lvl5 15's on a dc 7.5k. He hit a 156 with one bad sub (spider wasnt glued properly on one). Setup moved a ton of air.

next to a SA-12





beginning of notching the frame to clear the pulley on the alt, spent about 4 hours doing this, carefully measuring so that i cut as little as possible considering the car is a unibody and i was cutting the only structural support the car really has lol
