September 12, 20178 yr Author If I can fit 3 I got to do it lol . I know I can fit them as in the cubic feet they need but just going to have to see if the 3 subs and port will fit on the face of the wall. Really going to try
September 13, 20178 yr Author Alright I think I settled on just the 2 18s . Did some measuring today and wont be able to get the port area I would need for 3
September 13, 20178 yr Author Anyone know how I can raise the rear of my car. It has rear struts . Going to have like 1000 lbs + in the sable
September 14, 20178 yr Looks like fun! Have you considered using birch ply and white pine framing to cut down on weight? Suspension wise, there are several types of ways that you can lift or stiffen the rear suspension. What you will really need to be careful of is justifying the mechanical limits of the chassis and/or axle & suspension parts like brackets or hardware when making the choice.
September 14, 20178 yr Author Was going to use birch but I have like 4 sheets of mdf sittin around . .Think ill use birch on the face of the wall since it will be 4 or so layers . Going to try to keep everything extra in the car no more than 1000lbs

Going to try to keep everything extra in the car no more than 1000lbs Lol. If my new enclosure was mdf it would weigh twice what it does now. But that's how we built my old box. Half mdf half birch. If ya got it use it!

Im running 2 4/0 positive runs from front to back and only have 1 run of 1/0 for my big 3 I would just to not create a choke point. I've got 2 runs of 2/0 and a double 2/0 big 3. And 1 2/0 ground front to back tho I may change that to another run of power.

A 4ga wire can hold 250 amps at 4 feet, just to give you some perspective. The build is loOking good btw!
