January 30, 201114 yr Wow. Box turned out super nice. Props on the first box, for sure! Get a nice carpet and try to wrap it. seems like it's made for carpet.
January 30, 201114 yr Author So u think I should do carpet.? I was thinkin about doing it like Khaotic. But idk. I've never done carpet.
January 30, 201114 yr Your build is coming along, nice job!The box is turning out awesome!I tried kerfing wood, didn't turn out so well.couldnt get "thru" the grommet. so i went around. Not to rain on your parade, but this is a very bad idea. If nothing else put a slit in the grommet or a hole and use a strain relief.Some of these are water proof and they're only a couple of bucks at menards.>strain reliefYou'll eventually wear through the casing and blow fuses or worse start a fire if you don't have it fused.Keep going, you'll have bass before you know it!
January 30, 201114 yr Author Thanks man. The grommet iis really hard to get to from the inside. I had to pull all of the wire thru the engine bay. Big PITA. Lol. If I were to just put sme electrical tape around it would t sufice? I still gotta run my 1/0ga thru. I have NO idea how im gonna do that...Edit: 1/0 not 1/9. Lol Edited January 30, 201114 yr by swagger_wagon468
January 30, 201114 yr Author Also... if someone is in the atlanta area and is willing to give me out a little... that would be AWESOME. Just an idea.
January 31, 201114 yr Also... if someone is in the atlanta area and is willing to eat me out a little... that would be AWESOME. Just an idea. Umm... I'm in Jersey and it would never happen if I was... lol... Anyway... Don't be cutting no corners Jon... You'll regret it later on... Make a new hole and put a grommet/strain relief like cobra stated...

LolIt would last a little while.. but a plastic grommet is ideal, if you could find a peice of PVC that would fit snug around the 1/0 that would also work.

January 31, 201114 yr Do it up bro... and make sure when you cut out the holes needed to sand them down so you can "round out" the edges... even if you're using a grommet or whatever...
January 31, 201114 yr Author Will do. Thanks. Now I just gotta get a bit. What size spade bits for 1/0ga and 8ga?
February 4, 201114 yr I'm ignoring your last post and asking for pics of the build of I demand you be banned!!!
February 4, 201114 yr Author Jeeez man. Chill a lil bit . Im in school and its been raining. Not can't do much considering...So... I got all the screw holes filled with some putty and sanded it all smooth. Uploading pics now. And I am suspended from skool for tomorrow...so I expect that I will have most of, if not all of, the box done. I gotsome herculiner for the outside. And gloss white paint for the port and mounting area. Pics in a min.
February 4, 201114 yr Author Lol. Yea... and for fuckin skippin to go to lunch. Wtf man... Anyways... pics.Fitment in the Swag Wag. Filled the holes.Supplies.
February 4, 201114 yr Author Why thank you!! I will for sure get the paint done tomorrow. I didn't want to go with some funky color that wouldn't match anything in my car. So I figured I would paint it to match the XCON. And I don't like red. Soo... white It is! Haha.
February 4, 201114 yr Author Progress... im doing it in my garage. And it is raining now so its very humid. = slow dry time. I had to get a can of paint because the spray sucked. I think 2-3 coats should suffice.
February 4, 201114 yr Author Port done!!later tonight when its dry, ill start on the mounting circle. Came out nice I think. Opinions?!
