C.Sanchez.A Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I got the dash installed and have been driving it for a few weeks now. Been busy with the holidays. Here are some update pictures! Unfortunately, my old gauge cluster is square and the new dash opening is round... nothing a dremel can't fix This is just set up temporally for winter. I don't have a garage or any shelter what so ever, and working in -30C sucks! In the new year, so in two weeks, I'm going to be getting a new exhaust.

C.Sanchez.A Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Alright so, I got the new exhaust. And I built a new box. 1:1 ratio 4th order. Here is the sketch-up for it. 2Cu.Ft. Sealed / 2Cu.Ft. Ported. Port is 5x7x12 giving a rough tuning of about 52Hz. On to the building. Port cut-out measurements I through a bit of resin on the inside of the box to prevent the paint from absorbing into the MDF. This was before I realized the primer I bought, already did that. Put some card board over the sub to protect it while I painted the inside of the box. On to the painting... of the inside! Now to the outside... Covering the screw holes and small imperfections Click Links To View Build Logs 1994 - Mazda B3000 (Daily/Toy/Show) 2002 - Mazda Protege (Daily) 1995 - Hyundai Accent (R.I.P.) 1984 - Bronco II (Restoration Project) Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to make a vent for the defroster. At the moment this is my daily driver, and I don't have the funds to do a blow through. Once I am done school, I will be buying myself a new daily and going all out with this truck. I even have a box design for 4 & 6 15s in a blow-through. But none of this will take place for at least another year. Unless I work on the truck as a school project.

727Designs Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 1:1 is an interesting choice on ratios. I'm tuned in due to the truck. I have a 93 Ranger ext cab I'm doing in a build in. I'll post a thread in a few days. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually sounds really good with the 1:1 ratio, although it doesn't play some of the lows, but I believe it's the port fault. I am going to experiment with extending the port externally to see if that helps. Can't wait to see your build!

Before you do that try stuffing some polyfill in the sealed chamber. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
