March 30, 201015 yr Author Box design was pretty easy since I am going sealed. My old box was at max width and height, so it worked perfect for using a test a box with the trim piece.My best friend when it comes to box building. Folds up and hides away when I don't need it.Unfortunately some of the pieces of wood were too big to fit into my car and I had home depot make the long cuts. Now I understand if they are off by a 1/8th inch but is it too much to ask for just a straight cut? It won't be seen anyways so no big deal.
March 30, 201015 yr Author Recessed finished into the trim piece (working also as a double baffle). I actually broke the first trim piece, the bottom and top are extremely thin.More to come soon..
March 30, 201015 yr Bad-Ass car and a good list of equipment, should be a great install. You just gave me a couple ideas, good luck with your build.
March 31, 201015 yr Looking good man.Should be a nice set up when finished.Keep those pics coming!First time using horns?
April 1, 201015 yr First time using horns?x2, why do you feel you will need the JL Audio speakers in the rear (just curious as I will be running horns and image dynamic speakers upfront)?
April 1, 201015 yr Author Because I will have them... I do at times have people in the back seat. I may just sell them and put some co-axials back there. That is a bit down the road though.
April 6, 201015 yr Author Got a lil more done... still have to pick up the plexi and begin fiberglassing. And a few pics of the car
April 6, 201015 yr looks good. thats gonna bump. U should black out ur wheels. Murder that bitch out!! like this --->
April 7, 201015 yr Author Thanks guys =)The sundown is for sale if anyone wants it!WRX: I considered, but it was the first time I had rims so I wanted to have chrome. Once I get all the other stuff taken car of I may black them out with a stripe around the lip, seen a few done like it.
April 7, 201015 yr Yea a red lip would look sick with other red accents. Enough about that. Back to the build.
April 7, 201015 yr Loving the build Brother. You are really going to enjoy that sub set-up!!!! Keep up the good work.
April 22, 201015 yr Author Haven't had an update in a while, money is a horrible constraint lol. Picked these up at a hell of a price so this is my next update. Not really audio, but part of the car =). BTW this is my first time ever doing upholstery work, I am pretty damn proud of my self how they came out. A few loose spots/wrinkles but they will come out quick in the Florida heat. Hopefully will be able to pick up my INAW900 this weekend.
April 26, 201015 yr Author takeoffautoparts.com He is running a special this month on it... if he has any left
April 26, 201015 yr Author Me too lol... The INA-W900 I guess is on backorder so I think I am going to have to save a little more and go with the z110bt. I need to pick up RCAs, techflex, heatshrink and some sound deadner as well. That will prob be the next update.
