Well, as you can guess I missed my deadline. While it made the 3 hour drive much more boring, it doesn't mean I stopped working on it. Have the trunk just about finished I will be running the subwoofers infinite baffle. Which of course, just like everything else on this car, turned out to be a giant pain in the ass. Last fall I replaced the torsion bars for gas struts to hold the trunk lid open. The real problem is that the trunk floor is not flat, there is a big hump in the floor behind the rear seats for the rear axle. And there was not enough height above the rear axle hump or enough length at the rear deck to run just a simple flat baffle for the subs. Here was my solution to running dual 15's IB in this vehicle. I built what is essentially half of an enclosure to fit behind the rear seats and above the axle hump. The rear and top are open for venting into the cabin through the rear deck 6x9 openings and partially through the rear seat (I may remove the material behind the armrest in the rear seat for a partial ski pass type opening as well). There is not a single flat panel on this unit. Every piece had some kind of angle that I needed to deal with. It looks simple, but there was a lot of work and planning that went into making this thing both fit in the truck properly and fit together properly. I kind of hate this pic. The shadow makes the mismatch of the panels at the baffle look WAY worse than it really is. To the casual observer that rounded baffle that the subwoofers will mount to looks like it's there just to be pretty and add a bit of character to the sub baffle. But in reality it's there because I'm a giant dumbass !! Because of the sharp angle behind the baffle I neglected to account for the width of the motor when I was figuring the mounting depth. Originally I was just going to make a couple rings to go behind the subs, but I decided to dress it up a bit and make it more of a beauty panel behind the subs. I did it in a hurry because I was kinda pissed at myself, so glad it turned out fairly decent (though not perfect). Even after adding the 3/4" panel to the baffle I was still a hair shy of the subwoofer fitting, so I said fuck it and notched out the bottom of the enclosure to provide enough clearance for the motor. All carpeted and ready to go. With the carpet on I will say I do like the added touch of that extra panel on the baffle. Gives it a bit of depth and something more going on than just a flat panel. Almost would have thunk that I planned it that way In the car and ready for subs. Got too late so I didn't drop the subs in today. Should be able to knock that out tomorrow, then back to glassing the doors

Maybe you should just sell me that amp. lmao

That is french to me. What a window sill should look like. There is one single (aka monolithic) piece of concrete: These are multiple piece window sills. Notice the joints. If you don't install them properly (most installers do not), there will be water intrusion in the structure. Mold, rot, etc. follow.

I'm regretting every second of my decision to glass enclosures for the midbass. Many hours into it and all I have to show for it is the first layer of glass laid down. However, to make up for it these beauties were waiting for me when I got home. Decided to go a different route for the subs I had a single Shiva-X infinite baffle in my old setup and loved it. So I can't wait to get these fired up.
