Looking good. How are you finishing the box?
0 -
I cut the sub holes in the boxes.
Installed the passenger side tweeter and crossover.
Installed the package tray, c pillar trim, and rear seat belts.
I'll post pics later. I don't have my phone with me.

Nice. Did you get me one?

I got the wheel wells covered in ccf and MLV.
I'm trying to decide what to do about the gap above.
Factory tweeter and mount next to Focal tweet and bucket.
Put end on the tweeter wires, marked all the positive wires (I always run stripe as negative, these are opposite).
Focal bucket sitting on factory mount. I just need to get some nylock nuts to mount it.

I couldn't sleep, the boxes are glued.

I got both of my boxes assembled. Tomorrow I'll cut the speaker holes, tear them down and glue them.
Here are some pics.

Massive audio N2 ordered, and I routed the back panels of my sub boxes. So much MDF dust.

I checked with a sub in the box. .25" should be good to clear the magnet. I'll get to use my router tomorrow! Too bad I don't have a Jasper jig to cut the sub hole. Not that you'll see it anyway.
I also cut a piece of cardboard 5.5"x7.5" to simulate the massive audio n2. It fits, but I'll probably have to use 90° adapters on the RCA's. That's assuming the feet are included in their measurements.

So, I forgot that I was thinking about using 1/2" plywood for back of the box when I decided on the depth. The box is 5.5" total with .75" walls. That gives me a mounting depth of 4.75". The SD-2 10" is listed as 4.94" mounting depth. I haven't measured yet to make sure. But right now I need to come up with .2". Do I use my router on the inside of the box to clear the magnet? Make a spacer ring to go between the sub and top plate? Remake all the sides at 4.25" instead of 4" like they're now. I'll measure the actual sub depth when I get home from work. I'm leaving toward using the router, that'll keep the sub from getting any closer to the interior trim panel.

I'd like to not cut the fuel tank brace. I think the Massive Audio N2 will fit. It's 800 RMS at 1 ohm. I'm not going to be able to hear the difference between 800 and 1200 watts anyway. I'm going to make a cardboard template to double check.
I got the peices of my box cut and ready to assemble. Here are a couple crummy pics.
It should net .5 cu ft.

I found some cheap ones. But I'm wondering about quality.
Mb quartz RM1000.1 10.24" x 1.97" x 6.5" $220 on amazon
Audiopipe APSM-1300 6-1/8" W x 2" H x 10-1/2" L $120 on amazon

I'm looking for a sub amp under $400 that's less than 6.75" wide and less than 12" long around 1000 watts at 1 ohm. If you have any ideas let me know.

I thought I was going to have to put her down a year and a half ago. But her tumors stopped growing, until last week. She's still happy for now. At least I had lots of warning. Here she is at 4.I didn't even know she was still alive. I found a picture of her when she was mine, about 9 years ago.

Nice work. Stock Pontiac batting makes me laugh, what you are doing is going to be huge
I'm tempted to do more of the car. But I think I'll just finish the wheel wells and do the doors.
I'm wondering if just doing the well inside the quarter panel will be enough. Or if I should try to do more.

Looking good. I'm going to do similar bracing in a future LLT HT sub box.

This made a big difference. I will do the other half of the wheel wells tomorrow, start the sub boxes and mount my amp in the trunk.
On a less positive note. It looks like my 10 year old pit bull Lexus only has a month or two before I'll have to put her down. She has mast cell tumors.

I got the rear deck and back seat covered in ccf and mlv. Here are a few pics.
Here are the RCA's wrapped in ccf and electrical tape. So they don't rattle on the fuel tank. Damn blurry picture.
Ccf and mlv in the window.
RCA's wrapped and run over the tank.
Driver side going in.
Gluing the two halves together and to the top.
Wheel wells wrapped and glued.

Exactly... My bad if my terminology was wrong.Probably just trying to do what most people try to do. Get as loud as they can while still sounding decent playing music
I had a similar conversation with m5 when I first joined this forum. He comes across harsh, but he knows what he's talking about. And is great at helping put together components for an active stage. If you decide to go that route in the future.

Looking good. I bet you're excited to hear it.

This is looking sweet. Maybe my next build will aspire to sound this good.

Looking good man. Sorry I couldn't hook up with you. Was a crazy weekend.
No worries. You had family to deal with.

Still have the sa8's?
Yes

Here's the grommet and 1/0 gauge wire with some electrical tape to fit the grommet. I put a zip tie on either side to keep it from moving.
Ran around the strut tower and zip tied. The two white zip ties are where the fuse will go. New die hard AGM courtesy of the previous owner. Unfortunately the old battery must have exploded. Because all the paint under the tray is a mess.
Power wire running down the passenger side and into the trunk. Still needs zip tired to the factory loom. The RCA's run down the middle next to the console. They'll get wrapped in ccf and run over the gas tank.
Here's a shot after I got the previous deck out.
It's all back together, but it's coming apart again. My center vents won't stay open. So I get to take the day apart again.
Here's it installed

I got my power wire ran today. There was a hole behind the glove box, right behind the passenger strut tower. It was to small, so I drilled it out. Here's my hole saw with a bunch of tape and some heat shrink, to make it the size of the original hole.
Here's the hole after I took out the plug and taped a garbage bag to catch all the metal shavings.
After cutting it.

Package tray, third brake light, and c pillar trim back in.
Sub holes cut, they still need mounted and wired.
Crossovers mounted with Velcro. And a piece of ccf covering it so I don't get any rattles.
Tweeter in the factory mount.
I got the driver side wired up this morning. I need to mount the subs, and amp. Prep the doors and install the mids. And put the interior back together. Hopefully my amp will show up today and I can get started mounting it.
