Thanks guys, more pics to come tonight, the sheer size of this beast is hilarious. Measurements to actually fit through the door opening have to be perfect. This will be interesting. Figuring how to secure it is also challenging. With 34cu ft of outside dimensions to go through the side door is crazy

Build a platform that will fit fully and snuggly between the rear wall and the box.

Remove the four or six bolts that hold the bed and slide it back.

Predrill the truck rear wall for 8 or 10 3/8" bolts. Use lag bolts and flat washers to secure the platform to the truck.

Pre drill 8 or 10 holes in the back of the box. Slide the box in and use lag bolts and flat washers to secure the box to the panel.

This way you don't have to worry about getting behind the box to tighten a nut.

Craftsmanship is awesome. I'd almost rather leave the enclosure bare when it's done. :P

Thanks, all screw holes will be filled, I wanted the smooth side in. The birch is so smooth I may not resin the inside. I think it would be hard to get back to the smoothness it is now.

Started working on the port but my wife shut me down, I guess a saw at 11:00 at night is frowned upon in this neighborhood. Haha

I wouldn't bother with the resin. Oh I cut stuff in the middle of the day, and my neighbors will open their garage to sit in the front, see me, and go back inside. -_-

Got alot done over the last two days. Been working on the port over the last couple days. here is my progress.

Got the 45's in the box to flow into the port.

Shows how the 45's flow into the port

Since there are a few small things I am not 100% satisfied with I will be glassing the 45's, port wall and sand and paint the whole inside. Considering how much labor I have in this thing I might as well do it all.

How about some bracing.

photo25_zps1bbcebac.jpg

photo18_zps25b47693.jpg

Painted and sanded the port with 180 grit, smooooooth

photo19_zpsa14558ef.jpg

Glassing the 45's and port junction

photo20_zpscdace38f.jpg

Mofo is huge

photo22_zps7355302b.jpg

photo21_zps94e0c43e.jpg

All I have to do now is one more coat of resin inside and some sanding, put the brass terminals in, roundover the port entry and she can go in the truck. I have a feeling this is gonna get loud. Then I have the task of making it all look good in the truck. I have alot of money wrapped up in this enclosure, and I still have a ways to go.... I started looking at receipts, bad idea.....

Final specs are 20cuft net, with 277.5in of port, tuned at 31hz

Yeah, good idea. That way I can look back at it when I'm old and def and say WTF were we doing back then, haha.

I think I might build a stand the exact height I need it so we can just push and slide it in, or use a forklift very carefull till its half way in and just slide the rest of the way. I will video it either way.

      2 Fi SP4 18s with Carbon Fiber Dust Caps
      By Burke
      1. Product: 2 Fi SP4 18s with Carbon Fiber Dust Caps
      2. Specs: Both are dual 1 ohm (0.7 ohm)
      3. Description/Condition: Ran them for a little under a year on low power (Audioque 2200). Magnets have some scratches but the surrounds, baskets, spiders, and coils are in excellent condition. Does not include the original gaskets. A couple of the pictures are next to a 10" Kicker "Competition" (lol) for size comparison.
      I threw out the original boxes some time ago, but Fi was nice enough to send me two brand new boxes to ship them in. So these will ship in original Fi packaging.
      7/10 Cosmetically
      10/10 Mechanically
      4. Price: Asking $900 SHIPPED OBO for the pair. Because they are dual 1 ohm, I would like to keep them as a pair. NO TRADES, just trying to get rid of all my stuff.
      I'm located in Huntsville, AL 35810. Would be willing to drive to meet someone within reason.
      5. Pictures:

      12" Fi BTL UFO Dual 2 ohm
      Item(s) Description/Condition:
      -pie slug style Fi UFO motor
      -12" 12 spoke aluminum frame painted hammered gray
      -PSI recone rated for 3k RMS

      This sub has been nothing but great to me. Can't say enough about it. Sadly I have just sold my amp and made a bunch of space in my trunk for a lot more business. ( (2) 12"s )
      This 12" can do it all..handled my MMATS m3000.1 with ease, hit the lows, and was great for a daily woofer.
      Has always been on a good supporting electrical cast. I am pulling the sub tomorrow because I'll be pulling my amp as well. Can take more pictures for people with more interest then.
      Recone has a date of 9/xx/14 and actually didn't use it for about 4 weeks it was installed because I had to wait on a warranty claim on a battery.
      There is a bit of a glue splotch on the top plate, but no biggie, just CA. bottom of motor looks mint.
      Minimal chips in ferrite. Included is the motor boot and 12" gasket.
      Price:
      275$ plus shipping
      Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:

      Will be using UPS.
      US 48 only.
