[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8731514, member: 681035"] Big update today. Started by making the wood braces that go under the steel to support it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26081"]26081[/ATTACH] I then glued them in and sealed the box with caulk, and waited for it to dry. While waiting I figured I'd tackle swapping out the sub amp. Pulled everything out, and as the kicker is much much smaller than the Pioneer, I decided to cut my amo rack down. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26082"]26082[/ATTACH] I also decided to cut the bottom of the rack out below the amp to allow heat to dissipate more easily. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26083"]26083[/ATTACH] I also felt the legs were a bit weak, so I installed a couple of braces for it and then painted it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26084"]26084[/ATTACH] I then mounted the amp and LOC, and wired in my quick disconnect with the new 4 gauge. I had to drill the plug out to accept the 4 gauge, but after it went in fine. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26085"]26085[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="26086"]26086[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="26087"]26087[/ATTACH] I then water sealed and painted the inside of the sub box. [ATTACH type="full" alt="26088"]26088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="26089"]26089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="26090"]26090[/ATTACH] Second sub installed. Unfortunately, I did not grab enough 4 gauge wire, so the install is crazy ugly right now. Tomorrow I'll try to grab some more 4 and run it properly, and grab some installed pics. Even without the facia, it looks awesome. And these little subs hit way harder than I need on this new amp. Build isn't complete yet though, more details yet to add. [/QUOTE]
