Posted April 24, 201015 yr I just started on the new design for my build.There's a few new details like new stainless accents, completely new enclosure design, and a new Mechman H/O alternator.Here's a few pix of what I've done so far:New bracket to hold the inline fuse under the hood. (10ga. 304 stainless steel)New front battery top strap. (10ga. 304 stainless steel)This could only mean one thing............. Common chamber for 2~15" Icon D1 - 8cf. @ 27hzI'll keep chugging away (weather permitting) and snappin' pix as I go.It's supposed to rain all weekend here so very little will happen in the next few days.The alternator should be here next week sometime.
April 24, 201015 yr Author Well I got about an hour and a half to work on this until Here's a few pix I snapped before the rain came.
April 25, 201015 yr Very interesting looking enclosure.Right? I have been trying to guess what it will look like done. Bring that thing inside to the kitchen table and get it done already.
April 26, 201015 yr Author Very interesting looking enclosure.Right? I have been trying to guess what it will look like done. Bring that thing inside to the kitchen table and get it done already. LMAO!I tried! the ole' lady put the nix on that as soon as it came out of my mouth! LOLI watched the radar all day....(the race too) and I couldn't catch a break long enough to setting up the horses...I'm itching to get this done. I haven't even had the H/U on since my old H/o alt. crapped out 2 months after my last install.Plus I just picked up some Lexan for a detail to be shown later! It's already taken up 3 sheets and I need to get a fourth for the top, plus another gallon of F/G resin to coat the inside of the flares.NTM my dang windshield has a split across the bottom AGAIN!!!! This was off a salt truck this past winter.....
April 26, 201015 yr Author I just got home from work, Checked the weather radar, it's nasty looking outside but radar is clear!!! Let's go cut some MDF!!!! It better not sprinkle when I'm out there, I'm flying solo on this install and this box is starting to get a lil' heavy! LOLPix later!
April 27, 201015 yr Author Well, I decided to finish the most time consuming panel, the last flared port wall.I only got to cut everything and shape it for tonight.Hopefully I'll get some more time in the next few days, the weather is supposed to start to clear!I almost have a gallon bucket of some good dust so far.That's just what I've bothered to save for filling screw holes!
April 27, 201015 yr Nice grass.lol you've got this sick ass box build in front of you, and you're admiring their grass? Check those flares out, not what makes a weekly chore what is this going into? tuning, volume, wrapping/paint/texture? oops, didnt read
April 28, 201015 yr Author Hello Mr. Komant ! Check out my port cleavage.... Here's a part that will never be seen again once the bottom's on. LOL Check out what showed up today !!!! MechMan 270amp H/O Alternator (large case)
April 28, 201015 yr Come on man, go to Home Depot tomorrow and get you a helper.I want to see this one finished.
April 28, 201015 yr looks good bro. the flared port walls came out great. def. gonna look forward to seeing more progess. keep up the good work.
April 28, 201015 yr Author I think you have good lookin' grass too It's fertilized with mdf dust, that's why it's so green.Just wait till you see it when it's mowed!
April 29, 201015 yr Author I got a little bit of time to do a few things on the enclosure today.Notice the dead pine tree is now gone, and yes........the grass got cut too! (for those who were concerned...LOL)Time to play with the screamin' router!!! I'll do the other one tomorrow, and try to get all the internal bracing done.
