-Hobby- Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Figured I would share this with everyone here. This is the first install I did that had any serious power. Built it for my Son as a HS graduation present. Its pretty much a beater. He picked it up for $300.00 and put $500.00 into it to pass inspection. The paint is all fckued up but it runs good. 1994 Mazda 626 Alpine 9886 head unit Alpine MRV-F345 Polk DB components. One set of 6.75's and a set of 5.25's Memphis Mojo 16-MC2000D Memphis 15" MOJO quad 1ohm coils Big 3 done Positive and negative run of 1/0 to the trunk Front doors and trunk deadened 3 BatCap 800's What I started with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Started the box next. Spent all our money on the components so I built with what I had available. Advantech 3/4" OSB flooring and some particle board. Doubled the sides, back and face. The box is glued, stapled and screwed, built like a tank. It wound up 4 cubes tuned to 38hz. On with the build Cut the face piece and test fit Put the rest together and prepped it for paint. Glassed all the outside edges and smoothed everything out with some Rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNKYOU007 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 that looks really well done. Advantech is some really strong material, its used as the subfloor in alot of homes and has a 50 year warranty, i think it will do Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hobby- Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Some of the electrical I ran. A run of 1/0 gauge positive and negative to the trunk. Was putting a battery back there but finished it up without it. I think were putting it in next weekend for the Pulse Audio show in Salisbury, MD on the 24th. Big 3 done. Made a custom bracket for the fuse holder. No room under the hood to mount it. Shorebilly wire cutter Cuttin holes for the wire run. Used a few watertight grommets to run the wire the the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 i like that, clean. dont see alot of boxes painted. the Memphis colors make that box so nice. I got lucky with the paint. We took a good guess at the color while in the hardware store. So far every box Ive built wound up painted. Want to do one in vinyl sometime.
