May 10, 201213 yr Author Changed my front stage amps to following-Lanzar Opti500x2 and Lanzar MXA234.The opti will power 4 8s (1500w amp) and the MXA will power 1 set of tweeters.I got both of my processors in, just haven't taken pics of them yet.Here is more progress-This piece may make no sense right now.. but it's precisely drilled n tapped in certain places all over that aluminum to anchor the rear of the wall.. EVERYWHERE...It will be quite a while before you see that pic as that will be the end of the wall but here is the pic-
May 10, 201213 yr Author I have multiple jobs and i already only get 3-4hrs sleep per night, only get full sleep during weekend so i'm doing the best i can.Besides that.. like i tell other people.. this isn't a NORMAL build...It's imperative that everything is precisely cut, tested, tweaked, etc before installing...Must use the least weight but the most bracing to counter flex issues...Many things i take pics of takes lots of planning just to get there..When the entire build is done, i will have only 0.25" of room from floor to top of hatch door before the frame of the car grounds out all my fuse blocks..That's not safe so i gotta build or do something to prevent that.The baffle has only 3/16" of vertical play and the baffle has multiple variable heights in it when it's time to put it in so everything has to be cut perfect.If the baffle fails, so does the mounting of all planned subs.. and the roof is a key piece to getting the baffle to fit properly.. the roof is coming next to build and work on..I have already went through 1 gal of resinhardener just for bonding.. there is a lot that you do not see.. in person.. the panels are ROCK solid... Even those that are not fully attached on all 4 sides There is lots of bracing that was done long ago when this build started several months ago.

Wall is coming together nicely, like puzzle work. Should all pay off in the end.
May 10, 201213 yr Author For those that have no idea.. I'm LITERALLY trying to get this done by slamology which is mid june...I forsee at least the bass portion of it working by then... hopefully more than that..I am being held up by somethings out of my control that i need to finish this build but i am still 5.5 weeks out before the show so i'm not desperate yet.
May 10, 201213 yr This better do 170s on music Yeah at least! HahahaGreat work so far man! You can really see how much time and work is going into this build. (and I'm sure there is even more that isn't apparent in the pictures) I'm looking forward to the end result for sure. Good luck on finishing it all!
May 10, 201213 yr idk if you alread have them but 5500's are sold out...not sure for how long Edited May 10, 201213 yr by Tim Harmening

Perhaps too many negative comments on the wall, or simply couldn't keep up with the daily "where's my order?"

May 13, 201213 yr Author Popular Post My Front stage amps came in Friday.Here is my tweeter amp-The tweeter amp does not do 2000w, lol. After careful reading, this amp is rated at 100w x 2 @4ohm. So, still a little beefy for it's potential but doable in my application.My other amp that is going to power my 4 8s-This amp will power my 8s with 750w x 2 of power.
May 13, 201213 yr That Lanzar Optidrive is a beast, ive seen a good amount of people using the 500x2 and 700x2 for their mids lately.
