Trying to get as much box volume as possible while still keeping everything in the trunk!Pocket holes ftw!More test fittingPorts, front and back sides flared.Messy!Not so messy!Base of the boxStart of more glass work. Glassed the entire inside of the box after strengthening the corners a lot!Starting to look good!Back side of box, ready for amp racks and wiring!Amp and battery wiresMaking the wires fit! Amp rack coming alongAll amps and batteries mounted! Everything, including a 5 ft^3 box in the trunk of a Cavy!Front side paintedWill hopefully get some testing done this week. This is a build for MWSPL Xtreme Trunk Class. For this class, must be a stock trunk, nothing cut, no bonding to body, carpet in, and everything inside the trunk area. Box is 5 ft^3 tuned to 35hz.I am still needing to clean up the wiring in the trunk a little bit more. Will be changing Batteries in the next week or so to the XS Power D3100s. Will be looking to do the alternators in the next few weeks as well.

March 5, 201114 yr Author 152.3db at 36hz. Not sure what kind of power this burp was at, didn't clamp the amps. Will do that soon. Meter in the legal MWSPL location on the dash.
April 28, 201213 yr Author Update:Decided to do a wall.2 - 18" Re SX woofers w/Fi softparts2 - Audioque AQ2200d sub amps12.75 ft^3 tuned to 26hz1 - Audioque 4X90 mid/high ampSony DSX-310BTX head unitAudiobahn mids/highs (not my choice...but they keep up very well!)2 - 155 amp alternators1 - Optima Yellow Top under the hoodUsing the old box to get the volume I am after. Had to connect them so I decided to cut some pieces to put together.Using glass on the interior for strength and to connect the old trunk box to the front of the wall.

April 28, 201213 yr Author Recones done. :-) Fi softparts on Re SX motors/basketsJust need to finish up the amp rack and face of the wall.And... Burping a 152.8 at 30hz at the moment. Hoping to get it above a 153 at 30hz. Not too bad for a couple of AQ2200s Edited April 28, 201213 yr by cunokyle
April 28, 201213 yr crazy rebuild... I need someone to do all this work for me cuz I just can't seem to start it... lol
April 28, 201213 yr Author good stuff manhow come u didnt go with a typical slot portCause this looks waaay cooler! lolPlus, I am a huge fan of aero ports. They take up less area than a slot port and it would seem they are a bit more efficient. Edited April 28, 201213 yr by cunokyle
April 28, 201213 yr woof woof crazy build and hair trick!! nice work man! do you plan on more power down the road?
April 28, 201213 yr Author I actually plan on swapping out subs and amps sometime this summer. Haven't decided if I want to go with Fi SP4 subs or maybe...maybe even some Sundown Zv3 subs...and a lot more power! :-)

April 28, 201213 yr I actually plan on swapping out subs and amps sometime this summer.
