ok we are back on this one this week.

We installed the 390, and will be knocking this one out over the next few days as we need it playing by Saturday

I think we are going to try to knock out the enclosure tomorrow, then its just simple wiring from there, only a 3k setup

Wow, does that say almost 15 volts? (14.91) Kinda hard to see blurry a bit. What was the voltage before?

Yes, this one has a regulator that permanently sets the voltage at 14.9v (that's why we had to wire it to the stock plug location) simple though.

before on the stock it was lilke 14.2 ish area

14.2? Or 14.4x? Meh, either way, that's a dam good increase. I should have measured mine when I changed the big 3 but I think I got a lil' more...hopefully, I should, if not there's a problem lol.

Oh waiting for the 4 6.5" enclosure. Love me some multi-sub set ups.

A lot of the older fords seem to run between 13.8 and 14.2, fluctuated depending on outside and engine temps

On this one we just bypassed that issue

I think we are going to knock out this enclosure today. we will time lapse video it

OK, so the original plan of 4 of these in the space we are going would not work, we either had to tune way to high (50hz) to recoup airspace or lose a driver, so we decided to go with 3 B2 HNX 6.5" Subs instead of 4, it was the only choice and got us down to a 36hz tune.

Also want to note,

This build is just for listening enjoyment so musical range of sound is what is desired on this one, numbers on the dash are not a concern, as its not an ideal placement for numbers, but the end result will be nice and clean. This car is used everyday so room in the trunk has to remain for misc daily duty's.

So today we threw this box together in a couple hours. For 3 b2 audio HNX6.5. The enclosure will be carpeted tomorrow and likely hooked up and playing.

Enclosure is 42x16x10 and fits nicely under the rear deck area.

Cutting the pieces and getting visual

still a mock up, thing is attached, 45s done

Glued and screwed

Mike kept on going after I headed out and started prepping the trunk with the 250mil GP STFU deadener

Lookin good. How's the bass gonna get into the vehicle? Usually people cut a hole or 2 on the back deck.

Theres open area above the enclosure not visible in the photo's and we will be modifying the rear deck to be sure sound gets through.

This is more or less just a for fun build playing with those 6.5"s we just want to hear them.

We will be starting the fusion build full swing shortly wit the 2 18" neos on a raven

Hell yeah. Now put a beauty panel or something right in front of it...make people wonder where the bass is coming from and sorta a stealthy look to it. Just an idea for ya GP //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
