tonedeaf Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Looks good, but FYI, a pro tip from a . A bead of wood glue on the face of those tee nuts and you normally wont have that issue with them popping out. I knew there would be a trick like this, thanks. Luckily I can still do this as I haven't installed the subs yet (in fact I haven't even cut the carpet above the sub screw holes, lol). I wonder if Gorilla glue would work even better seeing as the tee nuts are metal? Gorilla glue is the scariest stuff I own... (Actually the thought of doing this to all 32 (almost 32, in a couple places I have to screw due to clearance issues) tee nuts now is a bit tedious, I will definitely do it if I happen to accidentally push one out though.) I use either Titebond 3 or gorilla wood working glue. Isn't terrible but will probably take 10 minutes. Don't want to get glue in the screw hole and not be able to unscrew them.
FieroGrande Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Man those subs are going to love theIr new home lol. I thought u were going to make another top plate where the subs are to secure the two boxes together. Those boxes are sexy, you keep the great work rolling in.
jg23 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 The box(es) came out good. I actaully like how it looks with the strap going down the middle.

teamjeffrey Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 should be nice but why go with kicker when there are so many better amps out there. and gain matching and control of 4 amps is a pain imo. when you could do 1 big amp or 2 if needed. and my box is around 16 cubes and groundpounds daily with 4 18s. but its your build bro . maybe ill see u around at some shows even though you dont compete id like to hear it Two reasons: 1. I started with two dual-1 ohm Fi BTL 15s I had originally planned to install in another car. When I got this car I bought two more dual-1 ohm Fi BTL 15s, but that left me with a setup that couldn't be wired to 1 ohm. So I had to find an amp or set of amps I could wire to 2 ohms. The Kicker ZX2500.1 was one of the few amps with a high power rating that can. One possibility was two 5000w amps at 1 ohm but I couldn't find much that was readily available (Sundown discontinued the SAZ-4500d right before I got this car). 2. The Kicker ZX2500.1 has an excellent rep as a reliable amp that does more than rated power, judging from the research I did. Couldn't find anyone with anything bad to say about it. They are not an "in-style" brand but seem to put out very solid equipment on the high-end now (Solo X is another example) I see you're in Stockton! Let me know if you plan to come to any shows I'd love to see your ride. another amp that might be good to get is the incriminator audio 40.1 and run it at .5ohm people who have bought from me Team Bassick (ALPINE) Purplehaze nidus head unit sony dsx-s310btxsubs 2 12 incriminator audio king of basssubs amp incriminator audio 20.1mids/highs mids/highs amp incriminator audio 6.4equalizer clarioncrossover interfirealternator 1 mechman 240ampbattery's xs power 1 d2100 2 d3100sky high car audio 1/0 awg ofc wires memphis car audio 1/0 ofcxs power xs flex 4 awg sky high car audio 8 gauge ofc sky high car audio 12 gauge ofc t spec rca check out my building log http://www.stevemead...frey-build-log/http://www.stevemead...d-other-things/check out audio gear i have for salehttp://www.stevemead...51#entry1595151
