Rattlebox317's new build

Recommended Posts

We are starting to get everything in for the new build to go into steve's 2001 Alero.

we are going to .....

*finish the big three upgrade.

*add a second battery in the rear.

*build a new enclosure for the trunk, port and sub firing to the rear.

*installing a 12" WMD2 subwoofer.

*installing a AP1800D

*removing rear fill, adding amp to front stage.

*perhaps clean the junk out of the car in general, perhaps.

this is what the old install looks like.

The sub came in today, just like it was suppose to. there was two pieces of plywood protecting it. one on the bottom with foam protecting it from the motor. the other bolted to the basket.

the top piece of plywood had sturdy high compressin styrofoam in all four corners, protecting the surround.

the shipping weight end up being 56lbs. even, quite hefty for a 12" subwoofer.
