Been working up some ideas and have decided to persue the latest idea. Attempting to be LOUD and PIMP looking but is quite the challenge to both. This one is more focused towards looking nice but should through up some descent numbers too. It isn't an SPL focused setup but surely at some point in time this year I will have something more towards SPL... just depends on how this one sounds. I am anxious to build something so here it begins.

Here is my dirty VUE

Under the hood

Cargo Area

The Amps!

Slot cutting with guide board held down by Josh... so much faster than clamping/moving lol. Thanks Josh!

Testing flexibility

More flexibility testing

Gravity at work

Closer look

Centering the center board and side boards

It fits!

A little closer

Inside look

Another inside look

This part of the enclosure is nearly finished... well not really

Stage II

Attached dowel rods tonight and added some 45º boards.

Closer Look

Inside Angle view

Stage III

Made the sides and put them on so you can *kinda* see what's coming.

Another angle weee! Well below the window line although it is going to get a little higher but will still clear by plenty.

And another angle

Corner Shot... I like this view!

Managed to get a little more done.

More resin to sand down yay!

weee

Stage IV

3/24/2009

Little more... still undecided on part of it but progressing.

Another view

Stage V

Doesn't fit like you want it and spending more time trying to get it to work right.... have to karate chop it to move on lol

Cut some flush mount rings for test fit

It's gonna fit nicely!

Mounting rings attached to the flush rings and set in the enclosure.

Fits like a glove... a tight glove.

Angle shot

Plopped Al's Powerbass 15's in it to see how it looks with the subs. Haven't decided what subs I am going to use yet.

Stage VI

3/31/2009

This next part is where I fill the gaps between the subwoofer rings and the front radius (done just a few hours ago)

Made this from a ½" thick hard cardboard ring.

Here they are setting in place.

another view

again....

Now I have attached them to the subwoofer rings

another shot

And now some resin so they can harden in this position

Another shot

again

and the last one for the night!

Manged to get some filler added... lots of sanding/filling left to do.

Stage whatever...

This is in place temporarily for resining/stiffening in its' form then it will be put back in later after I finish this section.

Update 4/28/2009

Added a layer of glass to the inner radius pieces. Will be adding a couple more layers to it tomorrow and doing some sanding in prep for the next stage.

5/4/2009

Got a little more done... weather has treated me a little better but not a whole lot.. hoping for a good weekend. Here is some pictures of the underside getting some attention. None of these pieces are permanently in place but they will be soon.

More!

Some stages I skipped

Stage 234,098,432

May 22nd Competition

Out with the old

In with the new KDR900 JVC

New Toyz!!!

Been waiting for these BadBoys!! Love em! Thanks Jacob!

(2) 15" 2ohm DVC Sundown Nightshades!

Time to Break them in!

Rubber gaskets are just sitting on top of the edge, just laid them there for the hell of it. Didn't want to put them on since they will be coming back out soon and they fit really tight in the recessed area.. not an easy task but love the fit.

Pic from Finals! Been slacking on the build pics but here ya go! Still not finished

Lights Vid

Excursion Vid (not maxed)

Burp Vid!

Vid "footlongsam" took from MidwestSPL finals.

i just found my most favorite builder / fabricator ever.......dude I have seen alot of builds, this one gots me all fuzzy feeling..... i swear my first reaction was if i had the cash, i would hire you for a full vehicle build! i need twice the pics, where did your inspiration come from? I have not seen these type enclosures before, (well maybe a couple of pictures from a vegas show), is that where you are from?

too cool , i am really impressed, I can't get a rectangular box to look this good.

thanks for shareing,

chop

OMFG, this is a nice build, nice box and everything.

very nice... and perfect choice of sub IMO!!

what is that box tuned to?

Man you did it that thing it bad!!!!! beer on me.

A very nice build indeed! Good job at finals!
