May 20, 201411 yr Author nice job! QuestionI noticed you're laying the batts down in the second row footing area. If you were gonna do this, why didn't you just wall it at the b pilar? thank you. and as far as positioning of the wall. original plan was going to attempt to keep the back seats with no foot room which half way through this build didnt work out. i had already designed the box for the c pillar and just wanted to try it out. i have it set up to where i can move the entire box forward if i decide to seal it off at the b pillar. plus no i am planning on running an air suspension set up and want to try and mount the compressor and air tank next to the amp which will be on a false floor above the batteries. i might change this though eventually.
May 20, 201411 yr Author finally got the back bolted down. because of the weight of the subs i had to make to back of the box removable in case something goes wrong with the subs. u used half inch thick rubber to seal off the back and it is air tight.
May 20, 201411 yr Author cones got a little dusty but heres what its looking like as of right now. the vinyl got a little messed up but that will all be replaced with purple and blue shag fabric stuff to match the car. still need to seal the wires into the back of the box i know my wiring is a complete mess right now but i still have a lot of work to do. im going to build a false floor for the amp to sit on that will cover up the batteries and wiring. just have to find a way to get more wood to my house. im going to try and use something a little lighter than the mdf because of all the weight added to the car already. il be building the trim pannels at the same time. im not sure when il be able to get wood though as i have zero friends and do not poses a pick up truck. so it could be a couple days until one of my brothers friends can help me you can see in this picture how bad the car is sagging in the back. about 1 and a half inches and the car is already on lowering springs... i have decided to use the money for my other car projects to buy a full air suspension setup. might as well go all out. If anyone is running air suspension i am open to any suggestions on brands and anything else. i have never done air suspension
May 20, 201411 yr Author Just got the amp tuned off my dd1 and did some initial testing on about a quarter power until i get the speaker wires sealed in... and HOLY SHIT!! these are insane. barely moving and they were crazy loud. il post a video later when i get home and find somewhere to play it on half volume since the subs are not broken in at all yet

May 21, 201411 yr Author alright. i got the new covering material for the box. going to build some trim panels today and tomorrow with all the scarp mdf i have. still waiting on a sheet of half inch birch for the false floor covering the batteries and all the wiring. i will hopefully get that in the next couple days.
May 21, 201411 yr Author also probably getting new rims soon. not to big since the car is going to be bagged and slammed. im open to any suggestions for the wheeles on the car. sizes 16-18 inch probably
May 21, 201411 yr Author hears what they ended up looking like. have to go to work now. il try to get the back of the car sealed off tomorrow if possible. and hopefully get the wood for my false floor soon.
