And now the newest build is underway!

6 - 12" Digital Design 1500

1 - Lightning Audio LA-3000MD 3000watt Mono block Amp

2 - Optima red top batteries.

Just started it all today, put about 6 hours into it. Due to some serious space restrictions and trying to keep the vehicle in as original condition as possible, i am forced to do some drastic measures. I am building the box into the rear compartment, to get as much air space as i can get. The DD1500 web specs says 2.5qbft per sub, but talking to reps, and high end DD comp cars builders, they say the sweet spot is more like 2.2qbft per. so by my calculations keeping the vehicle in a stock class and keeping everything under the rear window, and such i am right around 12- 12.5 and i need 13.2 so im pretty damn close. BUT it looks like shit in the build phase, i have to line all everythign in plastic so that any liquid nails, resin, or spray foam gets on any panels or carpet it dosent ruin it. so thats the plastic you see on everytihing. I am by NO means a pro or even an amature at this, I am a straight up NOOB at this, only been int he scene for about 2 years, and this is the first one i am building on my own. I have guidance from a few of my friends, a 25 year vet and the 10 year vet installer at the local shop. but i am cutting and pasting it all togeather myself. like a kid with a box of legos it slowly coming togeather. heres a few pics of what it is starting to look like. but it still has a long way to go.IMAG0131.jpg

Bracing over the wheel wells, it will be later screwed to the wells, then fiberglassed into place. same for the hole on the driver side where the gas filler is that will just be solid fiberglass as im not about to screw into the fuel filler line.

Everything is a 150 on th earometer

Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw.

Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around. Show her who's boss.

35 hertz, but the port is removable and were making a 55 hertz port for SPL. This is just for banging around.
