Oh yeah!!! X2

ordered 3 6" flared port kits and 3 6" tubes to get the required port length from PSP through Argent Audio. Great guy and great prices, very helpful

I could be persuaded to take some of that RF goodness. I figure if ur asking value he wants to sell.

I had 2 of the crunch subs. They are pretty bad ass.

No, i don't think he was looking to sell, just wanted to know if they were worth anything now-a-days. He liked the idea that what he has could be wanted by others, while he had no idea about it haha

So day 2 of box assembly..

started cutting the top baffles of the box out. Flush mount for teh sexy look. The outer diameter of the subs is stated at 12.5" on Fi's website, but it was a little off, we had to sand down 1/16" or so on each flush mount hole, kinda' annoying but whatever needs to get done.

We glued 'n screwed the top pieces together and started fitting the dowel bracing. 1.5" dowels should do the trick

First blood!

[emh9009 199]

Here's Auggie supervising

Test fitting the sub

Little out of order, but you get the idea

That's as far as we got. Now i'm waiting for the ports while he is on his way to see his parents for Christmas. When he gets back we can start putting it all together. I need to order speaker wires and some parts for terminals. Should all come together at the end of the month. Hope i have enough material left over from the pods to cover this thing..

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Looking good, whats the Schnauzer's name?

[emh9009 199]

Auggie, and they have another named Wilson. Wilson is a lot smaller, older and mellow. Wilson is the newer addition to the family, so Auggie gets pretty jealous whenever you call wilson to your lap haha. They're great dogs.

Umm i still haven't decided what. But no, i don't want to keep it bare wook or paint it. I have some cloth laying around, but I'm not sure if it will wrap around the whole box with one piece, i dont want it to look choppy. And the stuff is thin... AND i don't know if it will match the car. I'll probably end up buying some normal dark black carpet.

Thanks, he's always lookin' out for us

Keep the comments coming, guys. Good or bad, let me know! Feedback is goooood!

Nice setup!

I'm curious of what he'll sound in a tiny CRX

Thanks, i'm hopeful for lots of loud!

How much space did u leave on the outer ring? If u use carpet it looks like u may have a real tight fit.

[emh9009 199]

Very little, it doesn't matter much to me if there is carpet all the way down "inside" the ring, we cant make it look good either way. Snug is good anyways, looks much better than having too much room, IMO

[emh9009 199]

all built, wired, and put in the car!

Tidy wiring. Used 10 gauge all around the inside of the box, and 8 gauge from the box to the amp.

I really like this pic. for some reason

[emh9009 199]

The 10 gauge had 924 strands, while the 8 had 825. KnuKonceptz Klarity OFC wires.

put in the 3 6" flared aeros. at first i was bummed i couldn't find some black screws to make it look better, but once i put these in, i really like them (not that it matters at all). Makes it look industrial, i think.

[emh9009 199]

And now to show off some bracing with the ports.

And puttin' the subs in!

Outside of the box terminals. 8 gauge ring terminals

[emh9009 199]

False floor time

And finally, putting in the box. this is getting exciting!

And it's in!

[emh9009 199]

If you noticed, i put the subs in upside down. i wanted the logos (looking at it from the rear of the hatch) to be like / \ <- that, if that gets the point across correctly. but they are backwards, oh well, not they're "IF"s

Didn't have as much room as i thought, so i've got the amp on the box for now.

[emh9009 199]

Notice there is about 4" of snow on the ground. It's cold out, but well worth it! i put some L brackets and such around the box to keep it stable today.

That's it for now. I think i'm going to get bedliner to cover the box now, carpeting seems much too difficult right now.

I can get a video ready tomorrow. I haven't tuned the amp at all. Right now the gain is all the way down, but on the remote knob i have it turned 3-5 clicks, depending on the song. I'm running .5 ohm right now, so all i do is watch my voltage. that's why some songs have to be only 3 clicks. I think the next purchase is the DC power 180 amp alt.... Unless Fcons come out. i want to be first in line for those
