2x Level 5 18" boot install


Recommended Posts

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 :D

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

P1200018.jpg

pretty tight :o

P1200019.jpg

some batteries and cable

P2210009.jpg

P2210012.jpg

Finished (nearly)

P3130061.jpg

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?

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?

i just fiberglassed strait into the boot, i wasnt worried about it being removable. altho i do kinda wish it was because now its permanent its very hard to change/alter/tweak the box.

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?

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!

Looks sexy ;) I have a quick question- how big (rather small) is the box?
