Purplehaze Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 What's up peeps? Got some more done the past few days, but none of it was actually done to the box... I had to get the car ready, move a bunch of stuff. Mostly boring pics, but part of the build, so here they are. First I started pulling all the panels. So I could remove the breaker box, all the cables, and the crossovers Spare wires anyone? Then I started running the new wire Sexy! Then I pulled the front seats to mount the 4ch in it's new home And how bout a new nifty spot for the crossovers, right close to the amp, out of the way And after sever hours of re-routing wires, I was getting close All done! Neat and out of the way! From the back, seat slid all the way forward And the new crossover rack (still needs covered) And last for today, I got the base cut. Tomorrow I'll get some carpet and try to get more done. I'm thinking about just covering the box in carpet, to save time, since it's getting cold. Plus I'd like to save the glassing idea for my upcoming DC build!

SHEL Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I know I have said this many times, but EXCELLENT work my friend. Very thorough and meticulous. I love the crossover location and set up, almost seems like you should throw some plexi across it to show it off a little. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Okay, well after much thought, and some help from some of you, I decided to go ahead and paint the box. So today, the first thing I did was to get the base attached to the car Then I started filling holes and sanding and routing Stay tuned, more to come!

Thank you, it really does mean a lot for someone to notice the amount of time and effort I put into my work! And the plexi idea is a DAMN good one! I even have a nice piece that will work out perfect for that! Thanks again!!!

Purplehaze Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Okay, so I was at it bright and early this morning ready to get my box and base all coated with resin. First was to line them up and drill out the holes for joining them together. Then I got a good first coat on the base and the bottom of the box Then the clouds started to roll in, and fast! FML!!! So I said effit and put it all away, and made another trip to Lows and Wal-Mart And here I am, waiting out the rain. I have talked my Dad into letting me clean out his building and use it this winter to do my door panels, but I think he may let me clean it tomorrow instead so I can get this box finished! Oh and btw, the materials I bought tonight to finish were 1 - gallon 3M fiberglass resin (already used the first gal) 7 - cans of paint (Black Night Metallic) 6 - cans of flat black cheap paint 2 - cans of primer 2 - cans of gloss clear paint rollers sandpaper gloves extra hardener for resin (I like to use a lot) Acetone (for clean-up) I spent $100 tonight, and when it's all said and done, I will have around $200 in my box, not including labor. Which IMO is WELL worth it! Anyway, stay tuned for some finished pics in the next few days. And thanks for checking this out!
