Crown Vic 2-SA LCS Budget Build

[Ripkon]

Well i was able to get my system in today. I still have to carpet the box and make a amp rack. Also have a new Amp kit coming. Unfortanlty someone called the Cops 5 minutes into tunning . This thing h its for 2 subs 90$ shipped. Thanks to @shredder2  . Still have a lot of work to do.

Getting closer to finishing up this build.  Recieved my carpet, plexi glass (for amp rack/battery storage), connectors, wire + more.  I'm going to try and build the amp rack this weekend and run the 1/0 gauge wire. I'm also doing the big 3 upgrade.  Purchased 35ft 1/0 red, 10ft 1/0 black and a knukonceptz 4ga ofc kit. Wonder how well these 1/0 screw in compression fittings work - has anyone used them? If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Finished up the box tonight and rewired the subs with better wire. Tomorrow or Sunday I will be doing the big 3 and installing a 2nd battery. I will also be making a nice amp rack with plexi glass and LED's. Stay tuned. car audio on a budget?

Btw this is my first time building a box and carpeting

Got the box back in the car and made my wires for the Big 3 upgrade.

Haha. It is playing. I figured i would do a full build log to help anyone out just starting or looking for info

Almost finished up the amp rack. Really thinking about cutting some of the rear deck out to let more bass into the cabin

Had the windows tinted finally.  Added a Deka Intimidator AGM under the hood. Also set of component speakers up front with a 4 channel amp. Thinking about getting the Morel Maximo 6 and replacing the Rockfords I have.

The box turned out great and good job with the wiring and keeping it clean.

Thank you. Still need to manage the wire in the trunk where it connects the battery. I may build another amp rack. The box did turn out really good just using a skill saw and router

Finished deadening the doors today and sealing the huge whole in the door with sheet metal. Turned out good. Also purchased a better 4 channel amp. Think I may build a new amp rack/battery holder.

Looks like you are doing it up man... the budget build might end up being preparation for going bigger.

Budget build?.. sure 

They always seem to get bigger

Yea most definitely. I have more Money in the Deka Intimidator AGM Battery and Power Sonic 55ah AGM than i do the actual system lol, so yea im definitely thinking bigger. Making sure everything is done to accommodate it. Think im going to go with 2 SA-12's we talked about in a couple months. Will have to build a new box and get another amp.

This the battery under the hood and battery i put in the trunk

I really wish my rear seat would fold down. I did end up cutting some of the rear deck out around the speaker holes and factory sub hole. It helped some

Do some Sa's... I would. That enclosure ought to do fine. Feed them 2-3k (maybe more?), raise your Ssf a little but otherwise let those puppies eat.

I'd add at least another big battery back there... but...

I'd take the hit ($)... buy a decent alt if you're going to go bigger
