You should check out soundman car audio, they have a YouTube channel and they explain the way they put iPads into dashes without a headunit. Those videos might be theirs but I can't watch them in my class.

I got the center console done and put back in the car.

Thanks everybody, I just got the rest of the center console out and will start plasti-dipping it now.

I've been busy lately with work and school, but I am trying to work on my car when I can. Right now I'm plasti-dipping my center console and trying to get something to cover my box with. This is the original color of the console. This is the new color, I think it will match the car better. I showed it to a friend and they asked me if I bought a new center console so I think the plasti-dip will look good.

Thanks man, I'm glad to get some good feedback. Most people I know don't know anything about car audio.

The build is back on, after I plasti-dip my center console.

Forgot to update the build, but the build is now on hold. I think I might be getting a new car. I am looking at a 2003 Honda Accord and a 2006 Chrysler 300. This box might be completed and put in my Endeaver, if I keep my car, or modified and put in a 2006 Ford Explorer. Only time will tell.

The port and front of the box have been painted (averagely), but it I think it looks ok. I got tired of sanding and I ran out of filler, so I went ahead and painted it. Here is the paint and primer I used.

All the cuts on the box are free hand, except for the kurf cuts. For those I took an extra piece of wood and clamped down and used that as a straight edge.

Thanks.

Nope I only have a circular saw. I wish I had the money/space for a table saw.

Thanks, it's coming along slowly but atleast I'm getting it done.

Yeah, I've notice there is only a few people from Alabama on this forum.

That cut in the box is to store extra fabric when I wrap the box.

Box wood. Kurf Cuts, I really wish I would have seen the Kurfing 101 video before I did this, but I didn't After a little construction and paint The original design had the woofers catty cornered but I made the holes a little off (seriously barely a cm off) and the woofers fit weird so I said fuck it and cut off the front of the box, made a new front and woodglued and fiberglassed the new front on and then put filler in the cut to make it smooth. And here is what it looks like now.

This is the first time I have actually built anything but test boxes for my subs. I have had 9 other cars and I never have them long enough to put a real system in them. This current build will be for my 2006 Mitsubishi Endeaver. So far I have a Stinger SPP2150 up front with my stock alternator, I have already done the Big 3. I am using the stock headunit, Epiccenter Plus, Kenwood Excelon amp (at most it puts out 100x4 into 4 ohms), Hertz Hi Energy components in the front doors (soon to be relocated to kick panels), Alpine Type R 6.5's in the rear doors, a Hifonics Brutus 1700.1d, and 2 12 inch IA Lethal Injections. I am selling an old pair of Alpine Type R 12s and the Brutus to a guy I know, and I am hoping to get a Cresendo BC2000d, and in the future I may upgrade to a pair of Icons. Now the build will be a little slow because of the weather. In Alabama it has been unusually cold and I'm not shit in the cold. Also I have work and school, which for some dumb reason comes first. Now onto the build. The box will be 4 cubes after displacement tuned to about 34 hz, depending on the kurf. The box will be double baffled and flush mounted. Here is the dirty ass car all of this will be in.

Is there work to be done? Me and my coworkers sleep on the job (one or two at a time). If there is work to be done then whoever is awake will wake everyone up and we do the work. But if there is work to be done, wake her ass up.

I didn't know that. Someone told me they went up in price. I think I will buy a new one in a couple weeks then.

Don't worry about it, if I was in your situation I would rather trade it for what I need rather than sell it. Offers always there though.

What is your best offer? I could give you $300 for it, if you wouldn't mind paying the shipping fee. I live in Bimingham, Alabama (35216). Also, do you have the gain knob for it/box, paper, etc?

If you end up wanting to sell, I would be willing to buy it from you.

Not sure if it helps, but I got mine for $150 after shiping. At wccaraudio.com, use the promotional code SMDDD1 for $10 dollars off.
