Jason_D Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi there, im from the UK, and just thaught id show you my install. its in a MK6 ford escort, and theres 2 level 5 18's in the boot amps are 2 SPL Dynamics S2000-D's power from 4 Hawker genesis batteries under the bonnet, and at the moment just a stock alternator. its a bit of a different box, here r some pics. the start of the box: Baffle and port section made, with the amps test fitted pretty tight some batteries and cable Finished (nearly) i had it tested a while ago, it did a 148.1 @ 36hz pretty happy with it, but my target it 150+ looking to get the alt done asap, and hoping that will give me some gains. what do you all think?

Autruche Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I really like it, quite similar to how I will be doing my box in my Saab. Do you have wood behind the fiberglass or is it just fiberglass on top of the metal? Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

Ah, I was curious about it because I was wondering about the rigidity of your box. I'm doing mine in a very similar way except I am going to be doing 2 layers of mdf under the fiberglass to have it be stronger. What is it tuned to? Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

What is it tuned to? it was tuned to 31 when i built it, but since then i reduced the port by 1.5 inches, so now tuned a tad higher. its stiff as hell, there is soo much fiberglass in there, and its braced with the 2 lenghts of threaded bar too. i did have kickers in the box before, and when i put these in i had to remove the baffle and amp pannel, and it was really hard to get them out, and they were just glassed in, not glassed over. before the DC's went in, i added another 15 KG of resin, and i dont know how much CSM with it, but is bloody thick!

hdorre Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks sexy I have a quick question- how big (rather small) is the box?
