First I got to say thanks to Kent(TeamH&K) for the 1/0 he brought through.Told me I could have it if I came and got it and he brought it to me anywat!!!Thanks

Ok here is why you never have Lowes cut your shit!

I asked the guy to cut me 2 pieces at 29".I egt home and look what I ended up with!Good thing I anticipated them being off.I really needed it at 28".I only had them cut the wood was to make it more managible for me.Since I am doing this on my own pretty much.

Anyway more pics

Here is the star of the show

This is what it should look like!

I let my girl get ahold of the camera and this is what she takes

I guess it was of me using the router to clean and strighten all the edges.

This one is of me spreading glue to secure the 2 pieces of wood together(1.5")

These are a couple pics of the sides and back together for a dry fit.

Me working on the sides to make sure there flush.

This is a test fit of the box in the vehicle.

Well I ran into a little problem with the sizing.I thought I could fit 34" in so thats what I went with.

But theres a problem when i tried to fit the top in it wouldn't fit!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

So I had to cut 1" off it to make it work.....

Got the back on as well

And thanks for all the great comments....I should have the front baffel done today and the sub cutouts done.I may resin the corners of the box just in case.

I drilled a whole in the firewall on the passenger side.That is how I ran most of my power wires for the last 12 years.Just easier then trying to find a spot that is useable.However if there is one(rubber graumet) and will work with the wire I am running then I'll use that.As for the ground I use one of the rear seat bolts that I cleaned up as the ground.I am still debateing on using this for this application or if I should run a full ground wire.

If you look at one of the pics you can see where I am talking about.It is the piece of black wire wire I attached the strapping to.

Definately do it, with the power your running I think it would be safer to run a full length ground.

Oh and I have the same table saw //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I wasn't getting much voltage drop at the amp using the frame ground.However things may change.With the old setup I was getting some killer impeadance rise(probably from the box) so the current draw wasn't tremendous.But I think with the bigger box that might change a little.

Has anyone noted any differance when switching from a frame ground to a full length?

Keep in mind I will also be running a battery bank in the rear of the vehicle as well as the sock battery location.
