Cool. So when tuning the port you calculate to the throat of the horn right?

Working on a top-secret build myself this spring.... Camry is dead and I picked up a Jeep Cherokee. I must say the accoustics in that body style are far suppieror to a sedan. Running Fi BTL 18" now off 2 channels from the Zed Leviathan and it is allready quite loud.

So is this gonna all be done before Dropfest?

I should have the horn finished up, new amp in, and a handful more batteries but I dont know if the subs will be here and installed by then...over 2 grand in subs wont be a small order to be making ontop of the amp and batts as it is...may be a little while for the subs so it'll be pretty far along by then but the amp will be turned down quite a bit so i dont shred the 18s apart, I still need to keep them together to sell lol

Alright,

Front piece in and got foam around the edges (not in pics)..

From the back...the pieces coming from the back will mate-up here and will be screwed into the 2nd bar that was welded into place...

The port opening...getting the foam a bit cleaned up

Cut out some ribs that I will fiberglass accross to make the bottom of the horn..

Getting ready to mount them...

Mounted...

And that instant bond holds them strong...I could rock my car back n forth holding onto one and it didnt budge.

I may not have a ton of progress for a while because I will be needing the rear window pulled so I can make a scaffolding of sorts over my trunk to be able to lay down and fiberglass from the port overtop these ribs and add plenty of layers for stength and sand it all smooth before I continue...I also have a few boxes to make.

Yea, these pics may start to explain where things are going...

^Ended up with the first 2 layers of cloth and 5 or so layers of mat in most areas...still needs to get smoothed out etc but its a start
