I found out the kicker 1200.1 was too small for both subs. Here is a link to the new amp details ($625-sweet deal) . Got the sub in yesterday and the amp earlier this week. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, Ill be stuffing and tuning by noon

Well, I got the box and the amp rack carpeted. It turned out much better than I had hoped.

While I had the box apart, I measure the volume. The local shipping store sold me some packing peanuts and a 12"x12"x12" box for $5 . It took 3 full boxes of peanuts to partially fill the volume. On the 4th box I only had 2"-3" of peanuts. (someone do the math). I am guess it is close enough to the recommended enclosure size for a sealed box. I believe the sub displacement is .17^3. Also the capasitor storage is 325"^3

I also pulled off all my seat brackets and welded the bolts from the bottom upwards. After I weld the bolts I painted them black. They'll be covered with a wooden cover (I haven't made yet). The bracket for the center seatbelt is the last bracket I have to make, before any thing goes back into the truck. But it has to be done before I can install any thing cause it goes behind every thing. Yeah, bass ackwards, oh well.

Ill try and post some pics later tonight. I need to get this crap done. My next lil project is a BBQ pit (8') on a trailer. I have almost every thing I need for that already

You have about 2.7 cubes net, if you didnt do the math //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looks AWSOME! You obviously know what youre doing, and take your time on it. Nice work man, A+ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Actually, I did the math on the box portion and guessed on the fiberglass "bowls". That was back when I started the project. But then I added, or subtracted, the area where the capacitors go (the blue mirror area).

I installed everything about 2 weeks ago. Just to listen to it. It sounded really nice, but I hadn't yet sealed the top of the box. So it should be even better now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I had the amp wired down to .5 ohms. The set up was really more than I wanted. But I can crank it to the max and Pink Floyd sounds crystal clear with some hard bass.

wrong. hes got 3.75 before any of his displacement.

3 "cubic foot" boxes, and all but 3 inches of one.
