    robert loll

    She was really happy with it, could use a bit more power but on that budget, you can only do so much. and i got a **** speedin ticket taking the car back to her haha

  3. Alrite so this was a build i did about a month ago for a girl friend of mine that was turnin 16 and wanted a system in her 2007 mustang, so i hooked her up.

    So her budget was $400. For now it was going to run of the stock deck with a PAC SNI45t. i had to take up as little space as possible becasue she is a cheerleader and has to lug around bags n shyt.

    Sub: DD 1012 (replaced with Treo TSX 12)

    Amp: Quantum 2150

    Wiring: DB Link.

    .....and i had to make it fit for a girl lol.

    So 9515rob got to work wiring and i went to buildin.

    102_3341.jpg

    102_3344.jpg

    LOL 9515Rob's pride and joy.....he came up with this idea in mid build lol.

    102_3353.jpg

    lol i covered the magnet boot in pink cheetah.

    the box..

    102_3343.jpg

    102_3347.jpg

    102_3345.jpg

    102_3354.jpg

    the box is layered with brushed aluminum ALU-PANEL that i have been using in my other builds, as well as the Pink cheetah. the front of the box will have a 1/2" plexi window and White LEDS

    102_3356.jpg

    With the window in, i made my logo out of the pink cheetah and put it on the bottom of the box.

    Now for the front cover bord....

    102_3361.jpg

    102_3363.jpg

    the outer main panel will be covered in trunk liner to match the car and the insert will be in the pink cheetah

  4. 102_3489.jpg

    The white diamonds on top are woodgraid abs rings with white plexi so that the blue leds with give off more of a glow. Under that is just white formica so that the light will relect better. the left one will have a rockford logo and right a FI. the middle one has my KG logo that is painted from the back. i had reverse decals made for that reason lol.

    Il post better pics up when i get my other camera and he comes back over int eh day time. it was a pretty damn clean install lol. the batterys wer hidden behind the seat, i forgot to mention that

  5. next is the front panel. becasue of the curves of the quarter panels i had to get complicated to get it perfect. i should have taken pics of how i did this but its pretty common. i rough cut the edges of the board and then taped off the side quarter panels. then i took Fiberglass reinforced filler and forced it into the gaps between the board and the panel. after it dried i took it out and sanded off the excess with abelt sander. it turned out pretty damn good.

    102_3466.jpg

    102_3465.jpg

    then i took it and did the same bondo technique with the port vents.

    102_3467.jpg

    102_3468.jpg

    102_3470.jpg

    here it is with some vinyl

    102_3473.jpg

    102_3476.jpg

    the front panel is raised off of the box 1/4" so that LEDS can show through the gap.

    The rest of the build i had to rush to get it out of the garage so i didnt take any pics. but hers some finished pics.

  6. So its been forever since i have posted up any of my builds. i havent had internet for awhile and havebeen workin all night. But hers the latest one."

    The vehicle is an 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

    Sub: 15" Fi BTL

    Amp: Rockford Fosgate t2500bd

    Batterys : CD tech 76ah

    Wire: Knu Kolossus Fleks 1/0

    So my first thoguht was that i had to make this build really classy and look integrated with the car. the customer is 16 years old and his dad was really worried about me destroying the car in the process lol. So i had to make the spare tire bolt accessable, and be able to take everything out and out it back stock. i couldnt take up the entire back either. I also had to use the stock nav head unit :(...so along with the LOC i had to add a line driver lol.

    So first step is makin the box as small as possible. i ended up around 4ft^3 @33hz.

    102_3443.jpg

    102_3444.jpg

    The port had to be raised up becasue of the false floor. i also covered the inside of the port in Brushed aluminum ALUPANEL, an 1/8" aluminum/abs composite panel.

    102_3446.jpg

    next comes the false floor which fit nicely in the area where the old floor was. the front of the box is also partly covered in Aluminum for the parts that will be exposed through the front plate.

    102_3447.jpg

    after a lonf night of thinkin how i was going to do the floor, 9515rob gace me the idea of curving it with the factory panel. so this is the template piece that will be used to create a raised edge with bondo that the wood grain inserts will sit flush in.

    102_3448.jpg

    with the floor cut out

    102_3451.jpg

    102_3455.jpg

    The body filler done. the template has to be sanded down on all edges so it will fit with the vinyl on there.

    102_3458.jpg

    102_3457.jpg

    A few pics of the wood grain insert and vinyl. its kinda hard to see the raised edge in these pictures.

  7. thats what everyone in the comment section has been saying. some of them are funny.... liek this one

    "That 3-5 seconds it takes for that car with loud music to go by your house really affects your quality of life? Good grief! I can think a lot more things that annoy me than that kid that goes by a couple of times a night with his loud music. You know, like chronic complainers who have nothing else to do but complain?"

  8. So here in wonderful old Springfield, IL. they are trying to change the noise ordinance law. 1st strike, you get impounded. lol wow isnt life fun.

    But it’s a bigger problem when the bass thumping from vehicles idling 150 feet away causes his home’s windows to rattle in the middle of the night.

    “It’s not just an inconvenience,” he said. “It’s actually affecting my quality of life.”
