FrostedFlakeJake's Build Log

[Frostedflakejake 148]

So after ordering parts and doing some small work here and there since August 09, i finally decided to start this build log. It's my first real build. Everything else prefab boxes and no electrical upgrades needed. (two set-ups off of a Crunch p1100.2. my favorite set-up was 2 12" mtx tr55 in mtx ported box). So this current build is a big, giant step for me. All the equipment is in my signature. It's my first box build and i went off of some dimensions that i received here on the forum. Should be around 32 hz (home depot doesn't do exact cuts!!). I wasn't entirely sure what to do for bracing... If i'm not pleased with the sound of this box, i'm more than open to making another one. Just wanted to try it first on my own. Right now i'm being held up by, of all things, ring terminals. I posted a thread listing the horrors that has been this project. Here's the link if anyone is interested Is This Normal? - SSA Car Audio Forum

I have all the products i need, i'm just waiting to install. Box is carpeted so i have to get new pics of that. Installing the components is the next hurdle for me, another first for me.

So on to pics!! Tried to capture everything.

theres how the sub came

it's STILL sitting like this in my room, after 6 months.

Beefy woofer! I like the tires too

At a quick glance I thought the truck was LOWERED with beefy tires, I was like Haha but then I gained more braincells and looked again

[Duran 387]

Actually brain cells never undergo mitosis unless you injected stem cells in your brain

Ha yeah the tires are for a 1953 Dodge M37 military truck. 39's. I would need about... 8 inches of lift to fit those puppies on.

Onto the audio world!! I don't have much time today due to finals coming up, so my hope is to get the BTL into the box! Simple really... but it sucks because it can't stay in the box cause i'm not leaving it out in the garage... thats just asking for a screwdriver through the cone. So hopefully that will get done today and i can upload some pics!

No lift needed to fit them, you just need to cut some metal out of those wheel wells
