just because it didnt win doesnt mean it wont hold just fine, along with the screws

either way, i'll keep that in mind on my next project.

what Greg @ US Amps told me was basically the same size box that Toby's running. you should be fine with it.

Sunday is going to be a goood day, Term labs, beers, boxes, beers, subs, beers, installs, beers uninstalls, beers. Need I say more?

ok so I'm done with the box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I kind of hurried to get my 2nd amp in after a long hard decision... so I hooked it up and proceeded on my 45 min drive to work... at this point I am quite unimpressed with the way things turned out, bass was pretty sloppy and it wasnt doing what I thought it would...

Want me to continue with the story and update with about 20 more pix??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just say the word!

... anyways, back to my story... I get to work with the only imaginable idea is that one of the amps has the polarity flipped to 180deg and its causing major cancellation. I drop the back seat and see that the polarity on both is at 0deg so that sucks, but I then noticed how stupid people can be when in a rush; I had forgotten to hook up my left set of subs to my second amp!!! So the speaker wires were just laying there! Haha, what a retard I was. So @ 6 or so I'll be taking my lunch and seeing just how loud these puppies are now that its configured right, I'll even be setting my gains and matching them with a DMM.

Picture time coming in about 2 minutes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'll have two posts with 10 pix per:

No narration, just pix this time...

This is bracing since I dont think I have the room between the sub and underside of my hatch to add another ~1" of wood or else I'll have the sub hitting it and thats bad...

I had a nice little template going here, definately worked out great knowing where stuff was going to go and how much room I had to work with.

Drilling some holes for the jigsaw

First hole was a little rough but I got it in just fine

Getting there

Done!

Cleaned it out and before I put the top back on lets put some glue and caulking on.

Here it is with everything screwed down, pardon the "45's" in the corners, it was my first time and I didnt do as well as I wanted!

Looking good so far

Everything test fitted and ready to go in the vehicle

.... more to come ...

... ok ...

Box is in the car!

Wiring stuff up (each sub is dual 2 so each one has a 1 ohm load coming off it, the two on the left are connected internally as well as the two on the right, so there is a .5 ohm load coming out of the box, and each pair of subs has a 2500d hooked up to them!)

Subs are in...

Ports are in...

Extra battery is in...

Second 2500d is in...

With the back seat up, cant see too much!

anyone want to see the end result???

 

[CRXBMPN 5,000+ posts]

Here we go!!

From inside the car, pardon the wiring, I was in a hurry to get it in (see my wiring mishap earlier haha)

And finally outside the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I cant wait to hear it in all its glory!!

Questions, comments, concerns, criticism?

The ports are about 1.5" too short, luckily they were pre done so I didnt have to cut any. I do however plan on cutting the ones I have to correct size tomorrow, once again time was not something I had alot of so I just went with what I had and its tuned a few hz high, oh well.
