It looks nicer now.Positive wire from the alternator going to battery positive (blue wire)The substage will be 2 custom Nightshade 15's. These are the copper coil Nightshades Jacob was testing with. Subs will be firing foward through the rear seat, ports will be up through the deck and I will seal off the trunk.The old torsion bars must go as they will be in the way.

February 19, 200916 yr Author This is gonna be a good build Keep us updated with picsHey, thanks for the vote of confidence. I gotta say i had butterflies when I started cutting since I have not done it in so long, but after I got started, I got that "now this is fun" feeling back.

February 19, 200916 yr You know the W505 will control the H701 just fine right? You don't need the C701.
February 19, 200916 yr Author You know the W505 will control the H701 just fine right? You don't need the C701.Yea, only 2 reasons I wanted it was 1: Time delay is supposed to be easier to setup with the C701, and 2: Bling Bling, love the display !!
February 19, 200916 yr I hope to someday have the balls to take a saw to my car.Looks like a nice list of equipment, can wait to see the finnished install.
February 19, 200916 yr Author I started on the sub enclosure today. I only had a couple of hours to work on it so I got the bottom and back done.My other new saw.My work area with my dirty ass car in the background. Man I need to wash and wax that thing.The sun was really beating down today, freaking 85 degrees today. It was hard to get a good picture since the birch was really reflecting the light.Thats probably going to be it until Monday. My daughters 4th birthday is tomorrow and I have stuff to do all weekend, so I'll get back on it after the weekend.
February 20, 200916 yr Author Thanks for all the compliments !! Its very reassuring to say the least.
February 21, 200916 yr Author looks familiar eh(and a quick note stock speakers are gone)i have a 98'Are those the 7" seas that are in your sig? How do they sound IB like that? I'm thinking about doing that with my rear Tang Bands and Sundown E8s. My front set will be E8's in the doors and tang bands and tweets in kickpods, sealed.

Thats where I got the idea for the support lifts for the trunk. I'll have to check out your build there.
February 22, 200916 yr Author have you played with the tang bands yet.. i look at those for a little while wondering about getting someNo I haven't and it bugs the crap out of me. I really want to hear how these sound, but I have nothing to test them with. According to reviews I've read, they have very low harmonic distortion and that due to the underhung motor it should remain clean at high output levels as well. I've also read complaints that the midbass is lacking, but I cannot say from firsthand experience as they are still in their boxes. I'm not too worried about that though, thats what the Sundown E8's are for
February 24, 200916 yr here is may build log on the org so u dont have to searchhttp://forums.maxima.org/audio-electronics...way-active.html
February 24, 200916 yr Author Small Update:Cut the top panel and glued it in place. Cut the bevels for the front of the enclosure. I'll do the baffle tomorrow.Thats it for today, gotta look for a job.
