Purplehaze Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 more pics! i just read through all of your builds and great job on very one Thank you sir! Did someone say moar pics Okay, so yesterday I started out setting up plastic and cardboard so I could resin up the box inside the building, where it's warm! Then I filled in the holes where I had placed the terminals temporarily Then I laid down the first coat Then, after it dried real good, I laid down a second coat Then, while it was drying, I took the router w 3/4" round-over bit to the base. Should look good when finished And made it look like this. After this pic, I coated it w resin, then the whole board got another coat. Then, after she dried, I sanded all the flat parts w 120 and smoothed it pretty good, to prep it for the final coat of resin. Then I added the third coat. Here I am actually in the process And there she sets, 3 full coats of resin! And here is a little video update Next is sanding, filler, sanding, more filler, more sanding, primer, more sanding, and then hopefully, she will be ready for some color! Stay tuned for more!

Purplehaze Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 What's up guys and girls? I got more done, here are some pics! First, on Saturday I got my son to help me sand Then as you can see here, I sanded too much, and had to go back for a lil more resin And here is a little progress update video And check out these curves... SEXY! So then, after more sanding, I finally got them both in primer And here is an important part. I changed my mind on the paint and color choice. There was just no way I was gonna get the finish I wanted with the other paint, so I followed some good advice, and went with fleckstone Base done Me in action! And here is how she looks at this moment. Here is another video update, but for some reason, the sound quits??? So tomorrow I should get it all back in and playing. Stay tuned for more coming soon!

Should be crazy loud with the 5k! Thanks man, glad someone noticed that I worked my ass off on this box! Yeah I'm really glad I changed my mind on the paint, it looks so much better than it would have. And yeah, day after tomorrow I should be hooking up my new 5K and see how these babies like some REAL power! Oh and just in case your wondering, I'm not gonna throw all the power to them, they can't take it. I'll be wired up to 3ohm, so they should see about rated. Which is almost twice what they been getting, should get loud, especially for some entry level Kickers! More pics and videos coming soon!!!

Purplehaze Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 thats a really cool box. what TL number do you expect? Thanks man! I expect to be in the mid 40's in the 30hz range I'll find out soon and post it up! So, anyway I got some more done today. Got the box in the car, subs in, and playing. Now I just gotta wait till this weekend to get the 5K in, and make these babies happy! So first, I had to get my base mounted. A lil rain aint gonna slow me down Next I installed a few little pieces I painted to match Base is in and mounted to the car. Pay no attn to the area not painted, you will see why in a min Here is a close-up showing the color Check out the curves, and the way the flat ends meet up with them. SEXY! Next step was to put on the gaskets, or "weather strips", for mounting inverted No wood screws to mount the subs here. Try 1/4" bolts and t-nuts First one in Then first one out so I could put the other two in Money shot Oh, and this is my ohm reading. I'm wired @1.34ohm. When I mounted them regular, it w/ rise to 2.8ohm. I love inverted mounting! I made a little video, but it was too dark and the sound cuts out about half way through, so I PROMISE I'll get some good videos tomorrow. All in all, I am VERY happy with the way this has turned out. Now for some powar!
