rickyfromthe407 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Day 7: Well, I got a late start today around noon-ish. But I feel like I got quite a bit accomplished. The box is NOT 100% complete, I still need to decide when I am going to make the speaker terminal bolts, as I want them to be as direct to the amp as possible. And with the new amp I got, I am not 100% sure where I am going to mount it. But I got a few ideas in mind. So I started out to work. Reason being that I got such a late start, mainly because I didn't have a way to get a 4'x8' sheet of ply to my house in my little civic, but I got it there in one piece. So a few cuts later, I got it in there, fit as close as I was going to get it to be able to fit, I think its pretty damn close. Used 3 different saws, and 30 different measurements ( there has GOT to be an easier way to do a false floor in a trunk build ) but now I got the knowledge of how to do it for next time. It sits in there pretty nicely. Only issue is, since its 2 pieces, if weight was put on it, it'll collapse in the center. So I had to make it level in the wheel well so the board sat 100% level. with weight directly in the center. I measured that the board had 1-1/8" of room that it could cave in. So I took some scrap 1" MDF and some scrap 1/8" particle board. Cut each piece to 14" x 14" so I would have plenty of support for the two boards. Glued them together with some good old Titebond II and clamped them. 30 minutes later I ran it through the table saw again and cut off about 1/16" off each side so the two boards were 100% square on each side. Now it’s time to level them out! Stuck my fabricated brace in there, and to keep it together AND FLAT, i pre-drilled and countersink some 1-1/4" wood screws. well, threw the carpet back in, and it came out perfect. Much MUCH MUCH better than the other shit floor I had in there. So I figured I didn't want to call it a day just yet, but it was getting late and I had a few things to do so I did one last thing. How does the box fit in the trunk? Oh yeah! Pushed it all the way back against the rear seat, because I need that room in front of the box! Well, that’s all I got today, it was a lot getting that floor in, so gonna kick back and relax for a bit. Ordered some parts from Parts Express, they shipped em out this morning, as well as my new AMP was shipped this morning. Still not going to reveal it yet, but another hint would be "it's one Steve has used in the Tahoe build in the past" any guesses? Amp and other goodies should be here in a few days, I am hoping by Saturday so it doesn't prolong till Monday. But we will see. Good day today! Share your thought, opinions and criticism in the comments guys! I would like to know what you guys think of it so far.
