    Greetings from Venezuela. This is my first topic in the forum and it's my first serious work on my car. so I would love for their opinions and to clarify my doubts. I have a pair of DD subwoofer amplified ap1500.1 1512th and the great problem I have with the box because I get 4 cubic feet net excluding subwoofer or the port, including low I get 3 cubic feet net internal excluding Port and I believe that less than 1.75 feet low with 1500 rms not going to pay anything.

  6. this is an extreme build, no fucks are given about competing unless they make a class that measures how windy your shit is, goals are 15-40hz with as much output as possible, car is a daily driver, lets get it goin. relocated the head unit to the old cassette player location so I can do a modified dash bezel to hold an ipad and other shit doors were up first, single Crossfire XS 10", sealed up, midbass for days glassing bolts in so i can secure the pods to the door easily and securely teaching my boy how to glass

    Well, since Fraze(CNC) disappeared with my door panels, 6.5, tweeter, and crossover. Decided to get started myself. Started off slacking on the pics (was anxious and in a hurry lol) I was outta town with work, and showed my dad what I wanted done before I left. He started with this Good thing I made it home before he did any fiberglassing. Now looks like this. Not much had to be cut Rings to space it up, to give it a curvy look Rings to make it flush mounted Bam, waiting for all the glue and what not to setup

    Cut the hole for the speaker. i wanted it as small as possible so it barely cleared the magnet.... i ended up having to make a slot for the wires thou I didn't get any pictures of the speaker ring but it had a roundover instead of being flat and had a kurff cut so it would bend with the dash. Nothing major just a slight bend BUT it made a huge difference in the end result. These pics are in mid sanding thou, the ring was fiberglassed to the dash popped off and i snapped some pics after the first stage of sanding After looking at it on the dash half way ready i realized the orange wasn't going to work... So i painted the speaker while the final sanding and stuff was bei…
