Lookin' Good!!! Enclosure turned out great! Waitin' to see some more!

Congrats on the release of your first sub!! Very Nice! Any enclosure recomendations?

WOW! Wish you weren't so far away I would get you involved in my next project. Excellent Work! Thanks for sharing.

Ha Ha!! I wonder if on my next project(items being purchased/collected now) SSA would feel that way?

Thanks for such kind words! I am enjoying very much this experience with my son. We are learning a lot together and sharing some time. The painting was the major hump in this project very time comsuming. Things are starting to come together and we can see what we were pictuing starting to come to life. Still more to do, but as each component is installed we are getting closer to a completed project. Thanks for your comment!

Was planning on a 220amp about a month ago and read to many reveiws about crappy output at idle, Mechman or DC for me!

Mind sharing some measurments on that box? Looks like a BEAST! Always love the look of a kerf port. If that goes in the ext. cab portion that is goin' to hurt that poor truck.

Welcome!!

I think it looks great, made room for the baby gear and gave the sub a little more room as well!

I agree that it is possibly the amp. If you were considering Sundown would 2-SAZ1000 strapped be a possibilty that would give you 1800@2ohm. Good Luck on your decision.

Build is lookin' good! Paint turned out well! Your helper there said he'll be ready for something like that in a few years.

Glad you came back to check out the build progress, I have realized that the comments people make are very inspiring. As for the painting I'm glad we only have to clear the hood and give a little attention to the spoiler along with the assembly of the frontend. Don't really feel the car is of the caliber to present it to Soundstream, but I guess it would be worth a shot. All they can say is NO! $ would be cool but a pic in a magazine would be mindblowing. Thanks again and we always enjoy the comments!

I like the trim around the subs gives attention were it's needed on that back deck.

Welcome to SSA Forum!

Let me start by stating that I am not a painter, but we have just completed painting some MDF and the vehicle that we are working on. With the limited experience we have, which is little to none, the MDF (a bottom support plate and amp rack) we painted was sprayed with 4 coats of automotive primer (1:1 epoxy primer by Eastwood) with a standard spay gun #7 tip and about 65psi. Then we wet sanded (light water) with some 600-then sprayed 3 coats of single stage urethane by Eastwood with an HVLP gun # 4 tip and 30psi. After we sprayed the primer and it was wet sanded it sprayed just like a car panel with no signs of the MDF absorbing the paint. Here are a few pics of the panels and install. Components painted Components installed I can say from my limited experience that you would probly come out of your delema quicker by preping the surface with primer or in your case maybe a sealer so you have a good base then when applying paint it will take a lot less of the actual paint to give the results your looking for. If I can help somehow hit me up.

Looks Good! I would prefer that the Alt.-Bat. wire be farther away from the exhaust manifold, other than that

Thanks! Always thinking about other ways it could be done, but this will work especially for the space we have to work with.

Thanks for the Now that your caught up on the progress come back and check on us, there won't be as much reading.

Thanks!! No reason to be jealous, Your shit is way out the box, well door.

Those poor doors, they have been through so much and are tremblin' waiting to see what's goin' to happen to them next. Looks friggin' great!!! That is some serious surgury on that door panel. Can't wait to see how good they look after you do a little massaging on those panels.

Thanks!! We tried to angle them to stay with the spider theme.
