  1. Also could I run the RCA's though the "output" RCA to my subwoofer? Or would I need to run 2 pairs of RCA back from the HU. (I have 3 sets of RCA hookups on HU)

    Technivally you could but you will lose the ability to fade or balance your music. It's better for you mids to have thee own signal. Cuz if you have an issue later with your sub amp you don't want to have to be rewiring RCA's.
  2. I know that most head units put out about 18-23 watts rms to door speakers. Currently my speakers are just ran off the head unit. Would I notice a huge difference with a 40 watt 2 channel amplifier? (40w on each channel not 20w) Or should I just save up and get something like a 80.2 amplifier. I have not really dealt with watts driving speakers before, just subwoofer.

    You would see a big difference. Although the hu says 18-23 it's more like probably 10-15. Most hu and amPs do not put out what they say. Unless they are 100% efficient. Its more like 75-80% of stated power. So for what you are looking for getting a 100x2 gives you more useable power and room for upgrading later.
  3. One more...When attaching the back to the front of the amp rack, how do you attach it to the side of the trunk? Or if the back is attached already to the side of the trunk, how do you attach the front? I relize you can attach the front unupolstered, but I would like to upolster it before it is attached and what would you do in the xase of having a fiberglass front sence it would be one peice?

    Thanks

    You can use Velcro, or make it pressure fit around the equipment for a snug fit.
  4. some teaser pics

    if anyone has any advise on how i can get a better cut on the inner port area would be greatly appreciated

    take it real slow with the jig saw. I you still have issues, cut a bit smaller on purpose then sand the rest to get it straight. Or just get some clamps and clamp some scrap wood to make a straight line jig for your saw.
  5. Does anybody have any experience with the american bass sq8b? I plan on putting four of them in each front door with four of the sq6.5-cb and running the sq3000 amp, one amp to each front door. I also have two of the sq5-cb in each of my a-pillars and going to use the sq-05t tweeter in the door's. The tweeter's and the 5's will be on the sq900 amp.

    I did 4 8" vfl's in the rear deck of my boys accord. They got super loud and clear. You could hear it two blocks away. It was on a AB sq945 4ch.
  6. internal bracing with a 1 1/2" dowel rod. Cuts werent perfect either, but i went heavy on the glue and used #12 2" screws to secure them

    So its been roughly 4 months since then. ripped the box out the other day to give the baffle a face lift

    popped out the level 4 12's

    after applying some wood filler

    IMAG0298.jpg

    some good sanding, more wood filler along with more sanding. touched up the port and gave the baffle 4 coats of a nice gloss black

    IMAG0301.jpg

    added a decal i had laying around

    IMAG0303.jpg

    flash really shows the gloss

    Box looks great. Did you use primer? I noticed that with wood if you don't use a good primer you still see the texture of the wood. Tuned in.
  7. I'm doing a build for my neighbor so for now my build is on hold. He recently bought a 67 bug in pretty good condition. After he got all the rust taken care of and had new floor boards put in I went to work. I lost the pics of the rear down but it is covered from roof to floor with FatMat deadener doubled up on the rear fire wall.

    Equipment:

    Sony deck (soon to be replaced)

    Massive Audio VX 6.5 components (up front)

    Massive Audio VX 6x9 in the rear (soon to be replaced by another VX 6.5 comp set.

    MB Quart 125.4 (mids)

    MB Quart 1500.1 (subs) ordered

    2- 10" RE Audio SE dual 2 subs in a 1.75 sealed box.
