March 7, 201114 yr Author sweet build loving the box, tuned in for vids, any reason for mounting the sub without the trim ring? Check out the beginning of this build. I used closed cell foam as a gasket and the trim ring will not work with my mounting bolts. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking!My bad its hard to keep up with all the action going on around here, I was thinking of using the allen wrench style screws myself after using them with my old P3's when fosgate supplied them with their subs.

Should sound awesome when you get her all done.I bet rear mounted turbos are sweeeeeettt! A lot of guys do a 427 block swap and supercharger and run in the low 10's.The SRT8 is no joke. My buddies has 8k in bolts and puts out over 500whp and +500lbs. That with the all wheel drive system make it launch like no other. You should see the faces of vette, camaro, mustang, bmw, porsche owners that get spanked, priceless! Thanks for the build log comments!

March 10, 201114 yr Author PA roads are horrible. Three weeks ago I nailed a pothole and blew up my front right tire and bubbled my right rear tire. Then this week while driving to work in 6" of snow I ran over a fallen tree branch and blew up my front left tire. WTF.While my car was in the tire center getting new tires I noticed that all four tires were excessively wearing on the insides. This is a camber issue, no doubt. I rotate my tires every 3,000 miles and my tires have always worn evenly. The alignment indicated that my front and rear tires were out of spec. The camber was almost -2.0 on the rear and -1.3 in the front! This was probably due to the +300lbs that is now in the trunk. From the factory camber is not adjustable on the rear tires. They were able to get the camber in spec on the front. I had to purchase and install "pro-arms" in the rear to get the camber back in alignment. Here is a pic.
March 13, 201114 yr Author I started working on my RCA wires. I am posting up some pics but this is definitely not a full blown how-to. If you have any questions though please ask!Weller WES51 pen solder station. 10/10 I love it.Clamp stand, ehh ok, not as adjustable as I like.I am using :- Gepco 61801EZ wire. Plain and simple and easy to use.- P3 RCA connectors. Plain simple does the job well.- cable pants- Techflex NeonBlue- .032" 60/40 rosin core solder- heat shrinkGepco 61801EZ ia a 2 conductor with a drain wireDrain at the source for unbalanced connections.Wires tinnedP3 connectors do not have solder cups but I did presolder themWires soldered to the connectorHeat shrink to prevent grounding to the connector body.Connector fastened!Repeat for left channel.Cable pants and Techflex on and ready to solder the other end.Drain wire snipped offRepeat above soldering steps.Done! 4 or 5 more custom lengths to make. It is probably cheaper or the same cost to buy premade RCA wires but I just like to make chit! Edited March 13, 201114 yr by edouble101
March 13, 201114 yr Looks cool, plus you can make it the exact length from amp to amp if strapping and with no excess wire hanging around it looks super clean.

It is definitely one of those things that the more you make the better they get. I highly recommend the WES51. It is an excellent unit.
March 13, 201114 yr Good job man, sorry about your ride. Sucks to pay all that money for "road work" on your taxes and shit like this happens.Nice macro shots too!

Yeah PA sucks ass, dont get me started lol. My shots would be even better if I had a macro lens I am using a +4 filter on my standard 35-55mm until I get my macro lens.
March 14, 201114 yr Author I did not expect the XCON to be so violent I am really liking this subwoofer, too bad I cant listen to it more often. DC POWER get me my alt it has been over four months now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recent shot of the trunk.
March 15, 201114 yr Trunk looks really clean and shows off your great work on the rca's. More More More!!!
March 15, 201114 yr Author Trunk looks really clean and shows off your great work on the rca's. More More More!!! Thank you Next up is to seal off the trunk. Then I have to start the front stage. Not really looking forward to fiberglassing, I have never done it to this extent
March 15, 201114 yr Trunk looks really clean and shows off your great work on the rca's. More More More!!! Thank you Next up is to seal off the trunk. Then I have to start the front stage. Not really looking forward to fiberglassing, I have never done it to this extent Take your time and remember it will take several stages of sanding(wet sanding will help) to get a nice slick surface, depending on what you are going to use for a covering. If you do as well fiberglassing as you have with the wiring it will look great! Keep up the good work!
