Pontiac Grand AM Sundown Audio Build


Recommended Posts

90 degree clamps are ftw, but glad your build is coming along man, you do some good work, super clean and that barrier strip thing for your mids/highs is genius

lol thanks, this is actually my first time working with wood of any sorts, first box as well i built myself

and i took the barrier strip idea from getlikeme's build on here

yea i gotcha man, clamps are your best friend when building boxes, idk what i would have done without them when i built my box for my type-x

yeah except i got 36" clamps thinking i would need em that big, except i never used them when it came to the width of the box so now that i realize it i woulda been better off with like an 18 or 21" clamp or so

yea i hear yea, and good clamps arent exactly cheap, i got a couple 2 foot clamps, those should usually suit most box builds

i paid 6 bucks for each of the 36" clamps and 3 bucks for each corner clamp, harbor freight ftw, even thought they arent the highest of quality lol, still got the job done so im pleased

ok well the box is complete as of now, and i test fit it in the trunk

however, where i had planned to have my battery rack it is a little too long by like 2" so i had to angle it to get the box in all the way, which having to angle the batt made me lose amp room

i lost just enough amp room to where i cant mount both amps flat, one has to go on the back of the box, now im going to chose to mount my 4 channel on the back of the box (for obvious reasons) and have my 3500 mounted on the floor

anyone have any ideas on how i can help prevent the least possible vibrations to the amp on the back of the box? without looking like complete crap at the same time?

pics later tonight, im gonna be going out for my birthday all day :santa: but it isnt the best either, its 55º here (feels like 90 compared to the 20s) and sunny, PERFECT day to be able to actually finish but i ran out of time today so i did not get it playing, the grand am shall, and will play tomorrow :)

Alright i had to change a few things around, but first i threw the box in to test fit, it fits but the 17" depth i went with was a little too much but i expected that so i cant do my amp rack plan so i have to go with something different

but heres pics

first i ran my power and ground wires to the batt:

Box is in:

now as you can see i had to angle the battery:

which doesnt interfere too much, i actually like the look of it TBH but i just have to change a few things around
