seats are back in , lithium is installed back in the trunk cleaned up the amp wiring , few minor odds and ends to take care of before this weeknd

it deff does bump , find out just how much in 10 days when i head down to vegas for bass wars , unfortunatly i have so much to do still i wiont have the time to actually seal the wall off to the b pillars/roof/floor

got all the bracing in and done and reinstaleld the front baffle its now permantly attached and sealed , while i was at it i decided to invert the top center sub just for looks , not sure if im going to leave it inverted hence why i just pulled the speaker wire out of the port to hook it up for now . the motor is dangerously close to drivers and passenger heads , im a lil owrried somone might smack there head on it in an accident or say in an panic/emergency braking situation so not sure if im going to leave it inverted, ill do some testing with it this way in 2 days when the glue and edhesives i used are fully cured

so quick stupid update on my part , when i wired up all 5 sub amps it was dark out and i somehow missed the ground wire for the 5th sub ( the one behind the driver seat ) found it today when i was dbl checking all my conections and wiring so now i have all 5 hooked up

the subs are audio legion maximus 12's in dual 2 , they are no longer available they were available for a steal at 124$ each until they sold out for amps im currentl;y running five recoil audio red1200.1's but am switching to five recoil red 2500.1's with two recoil rea 600.4 4 chan amps for mids n highs electrical is 148ah with lev60 prismatic cells ontop of a 96ah headway bank still on a stock alt as im waiting for somone to get back to me on building a custom alt. nothing can really be done with the stock 100amp nissan alt on this engine so they are looking into finding front and back halves they can make work using the factory mounting for a custom alt , or i may just have to goto custom brackets to make another alt work but either way its getting atleast a 270amp alt

finilizing my swapable port for the wall build , the mdf section is the main port installed into the wall , the plywood insert can be put into the port and bolted into place to lower the tunning . mdf port is tuned to 44hz and then i have 2 plywood swappable inserts that are tuned at 32hz and another one at 28 hz

getting really close now

droppe dmy port tunning down to 26 hz should be heading out to do some testing later on today , i aprently also need some more bracing ont he front baffle what i have + a tripple 3/4 thick front baffle is aparently not enough im starting to see some baffle flex at near peak power levels

got all 5 hooked up and relized i was running into a power handling issue , ended up cutting some pieces to put int he port to shrink it and it helped so im going to cut a new port thats 112sq inch instead of 170sq inch ill get some vids up a lil later today im currently sitting at 130sqinch of port and it will taske full power but im only ruinning at 1200w per driver currently when the new amps go in it will be 2k per driver

4 of the 5 playing on low power , now that im out of work for the day ill get that last amp hooked up and get some full power send videos

getting close to having the wall done and wired up on 5 of the small amps( swaping to 5x 2500w rms amps in the near future , still need to seal it to the b pillars and other work but i got plenty of time before the next comp

just did all my volume calcs now that installed all my corner 45's and bracing with all my displacements this puts my wall at 13.1cft net which puts me right at 2.62cft per driver close enough for me i was aiming for 2.6 -2.7cft

progress is slow but i got the port cut and in today for testing and 3 out of the 5 sub amps installed its enough for some low power testing /checking making sure the enclosure doesnt have anything loose etc hopefully ill have enough time this weekend to get all 5 wired up and playing

hoping to get the port installed and all 7 amps wired up tommorow morning

closer , waiting ont he first 2 baffle layers to dry and then i can glue this one to those and install it for real

got the excess cut fromt he corners and had to call it a night ran out of daylight , i have 2 panels to install in the top of the box tommorow morning and then i can work on fiberglassing and sealing the inside before i put the outser layers on

getting the inner shell done tonight

finally got started on it heres some pics form today tipping out the trunk build and starting to mock panels up front baffle will be tripple thick with dbl layer everywere else inner panels are a lil bit cheaper ply with the outer layers being 13 ply layout is going to be 3 subs across the top , and 2 on the bottoms on left and right of the baffle with a 225sqin swapable slot port tuned for 28hz for daily use and more then likley 45hz for burping

welp its happening i went out on thursday and got all my wood , im hoping to remove my amp rack out of the back seat area and start building i bought enough wood for tripple front baffle,dbl rear wall and dbling the top bottom and sides

heading out to a db drag event this weekend , this will be the last even for the trunk build , be cool to see what all the deadener did for me and im also going to try running the box with subs back instead of into the cabin. when i get back the system comes out and i start building the b pillar wall
