  1. Any tool will command respect the instant you don't give it.

    1/4" spiral up or down bit you will use a whole lot. a 1/2 round over bit you can use often. A flush trim bit will come in handy quite often. and a step bit for flush mount rings are real handy once you get the hang of the router.

    You don't need to own a jasper jig. A simple wood block set and you can make your own for speaker cutouts. Once you get going on circles, then a jasper allows you to get creative.

    Invest in some bench cookies to help you keep your work off the table as you cut.

  2. Yes, putting the sides on top of the bottom plate and then the top over the sides ( stacking) will make a difference in strength. Glue and or screws have a stronger sheer strength force then pullout force strength. Same will go for your front and back. Stack everything between the top and bottom plates. whenever possible, use wood glue. It is far stronger then screws alone

  3. So VIPmeetSPL came over yesterday to have me teach him some tips and tricks of doing a simple install. It was a long full day to cover all the basics. I also want to thank Blackedout for coming over and giving a hand getting everything done in one day.

    We did a full power run, big 3,2nd battery, mids and highs amp, DAT 2500, and box ported through the rear deck

    So of course we can thank car designers for putting the gas tank between the backseat and trunk. Thanks guys.

    Did a false floor to secure the battery and add a place for the mids and highs amps.

    Nothing like watching someone solder up his connections.

    Making templates for the 2nd false floor.

    Second false floor is down and box is in.

    Subs and amp in and ready to be scoped

    Who needs a square wave when you can produce this.

    We went ahead and deleted the inline EQ and cleared up the signal. Little more work in the dash, but was well worth hunting it down.

    All that is left is to build a flush mount floor for the amp, add a little carpet and she will be done.

    Overall the car has a great sound. the subs get down right low. Of course with the trunk open it can get down right nasty but when the trunk is closed, it chokes the output. Might get in there and do some porting from the trunk to the rear deck and see if we can relieve some trunk pressure

  4. Yup. Got a whole stack of passes. Where's everyone staying?

    I can haz pass?

    x's 2. If I can get a pass or 2 I can make reservations somewhere. Christmas gift :santa:
