Great idea on the fans, too many installs dont use that easy and cheap idea.

I have an idea for you, you have 2 fans that are bigger than the other 2. Use one big and 1 small on each side so the output will match and wire them in opposite so that you one side will pull air in and the other side and push it out. Ive done it for years :popcorn:

Is the box for the 18 going to cover the fans?

Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister :roflmao:

it will be like this:

i will switch fans 1good 1 bad to each side like you said. i was thinking of doing it at first place, but i tend to forgot things while i do stuff :D

also for now there is enough holes under to get the air needed, but when i dynamat this b*tch there won't be any air to replace, so fans won't work that well. then i will change the fans to the right ones to suck in and left ones to blow out. left ones are the nearest to both amps so the heat will be there.

box is going to be roughly in centimeters: 50x47x100 on the outside, inside 45x42x95, so it is 179litres big, and with driver displacement and port displacement we are talking about something like 150 to 165litres internal volume. i haven't calculated it yet. i will measure it precicely.

the box (shown in red) can be opened when the box is in, there will be 5 to 7 cm space between the enclosure and the box's edge. (can be seen in picture)

i remade the bassknob to fit in original VOLVO's panel

140620113080%20%28Custom%29.jpg

break it open

140620113081%20%28Custom%29.jpg

not that big

140620113082%20%28Custom%29.jpg

gief some knife into the panel

140620113083%20%28Custom%29.jpg

easy!

150620113088%20%28Custom%29.jpg

some glue and let it stay overnight.

if you glue and pop it in the glue will fume itself and make a CSI -trick where your fingerprint's grease will go white.

i let it dry in peace, don't want to have white fingerprints all over my car

150620113090%20%28Custom%29.jpg

some clamps will help it to glue in

160620113093%20%28Custom%29.jpg

next day: still works!

160620113095%20%28Custom%29.jpg

cool. i might rip off that "MAX/MIN" sticker, but it will do for now

160620113096%20%28Custom%29.jpg

then i made RCA -reader cable.

so i can sit in front seat with DMM and turn up volume meanwhile the wire is hooked into SUB AMP's RCA.

160620113097%20%28Custom%29.jpg

also installed a relay at back so the fan's don't take their positive from radio's RMT

radio controlls the relay and +12V comes from the back battery.

then i did a datasheet from my headunit to find out where it disorts.

i played song: 50Hz -5DBFS so it is +2dB lowder than normal song.

alpine9880R_RCA.jpg

DATA!

there is Voltage from RCA, and dB / volume, so everytime i turn up volume i took the voltage from RCA, so when the raise of voltage is not 2dB or 1dB compared to the last one the signal starts to disort.

so i can play music with 30/35 whitout disortion.

i gotta find a -6DBFS 40Hz song. but can't find.

tuned ma front grill

190620113147%20%28Custom%29.jpg

190620113148%20%28Custom%29.jpg

front is now 33% done, i'm thinking about to change the yellow turnsignals to white and custom -build front bumper. not a "TUNING" -type of a predator -mask, but Bross -bodykit, so it looks original, but alittlebit diffirent.

:clapping: Damn that looks nice man, cant wait to see it installed. :popcorn:

Back to the fan post.... use the fans Closest to the amps to pull air in as the outside air will be cooler than the air already inside the amp rack. I've seen a few degrees difference in swaping the order of push pull :shrug:

Have fun

Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister :roflmao:
