CHECK OUT THIS CADDY (known as Chickens "hoopty") TORE DOWN AND RE-BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. This is what it looks like today....but if you got a few hours to spend, there is a few THOUSAND pictures that follow this, showing almost ever single aspect of the project.

Its been a LONG TIME since i started this, but we did other stuff in between for months at a time.

OK EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE IS ALL PICS FROM DAY 1. ENJOY!

This is the beginning of a very large project.....scan thru the images and see ( Fi BTL 18's in a 2002 Caddy Escalade on two Rockford Fosgate T15K amps (mids and highs too of course)...lots of goodies! Please leave comments on this page (click link)

The first set of pics are the tear down of the old system.....then the MADNESS begins

.........project is started!! so far it will consist of 8 18" subs and the MIGHTY ROCKFORD T15K! This project might take a while since there is so much to do but here are some new progress pics.

THE TEAR DOWN OF THE OLD SYSTEM

[meade916]

yes, there is 8, 18" holes there and so far they may be facing eachother.

floor pieces in, back piece in......here is how it went down.

[meade916]

this is how i found the curve of the roof and side windows.......just remember, Cardboard is YOUR FRIEND when doing stuff like this

here is a handy tool, the "form finder".......helps with the crazy curves.

tape all the pieces together, add some too it where i any gaps occur........hey it happens!

once it was tight enough i pulled my template out of the caddy......

now i have a nice shape i can transfer that to the MDF
