The Saturn: Death-Horn Build/Addition (10kw+)

[Pioneer~Saturn 5,000+ posts]

I think its about that time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Im going to be building a horn ontop of my current enclosure upto the b-pillar, continuing the top of the horn upto the windshield as the ceiling to make one, smooth surface from the port to the windshield. I also eventually plan on tearing out the front of my box to remake it to fit (8) 10" Fi Q's...I'll need more coil for a beast that may be heading my way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

All of this should bring my new enclosure specs to approx. 10.2 cubes net, 200 sq inches of port area, and should bring the tuning to ~27-28hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I also plan on adding batteries in the trunk and the sides of the horn aswell...lets just say the satty will be rolling on over 10kw... I will be ordering beefed-up springs for the rear suspension aswell.

A good handful of you have seen the design but for those who havent, here it is:

I got a few things cut and mocked-up last night but only had my phone camera...better pics tonight/this week though.

Thanks guys...and as you wish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Got the front, top piece made for the ceiling...predrilled the holes and got to foaming and realized im dumb and didnt want the normal-expanding foam under my sunroof so I pulled it and got the window stuff to just seal around it...

Im so glad I got these bars welded in, theyre very handy for mounting the horn/ceiling to...

Got some final touches with some caulk to seal up the sunroof well...dont want leaks once I have the inside covered and sealed...

And im going out for some drinks tonight so no real progress...meh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif more as it happens

Question, it appears the way you have done it, that the sunroof is no longer functional so why not just pull the sunroof and well up new sheet metal up there and do body work and make it appear as it never was there?

Yea, thatd be way more work imo...and repainting n stuff...way more money too.

this.. for the cost of the car its not worth it as it won't be flexing much at all..
