Thanks Guys!

Hopefully we'll have some updates next week, since this thing needs to be finished for a show on Sat June 22nd LOL!!!

Seems like no matter how early we start, we're always down to the wire on timing...

That all thread mount is badass and smart thinkin.

Yeah it's 20mm all thread welded directly into the plate steel of the rear wall, then it carries the force forward to our upright braces, so in theory, it 'should' keep the centre of the rear wall from moving so Damn Much!!!

The 'feet' of the uprights also grab the front and rear baffles and help to hold them in place, so we should also get far less baffle flex. We also did a steel brace in the centre of the port were we used to get about 15mm of travel.

;)

Right right right...

I see it front to back,, and securing the baffles also...

FUCKIN BRILLIANT !!!... that, is called using your head,

And, they look KICK ASS !!!!!!

OK it's done!!!!

As per usual there was an extreme lack of sleep, but we made it to the show and had an awesome time!!!

The updates you saw earlier were a little misleading, we wanted to keep a few tings secret until the big debut. So there was a lot more work happening behind the scenes than just the steel work and B-Pillars. Here's what you missed:

Also because of the new 10mm steel plate at the rear of the box, our old speaker pods would no longer fit, so we decided to go a little bit crazy...and we continued this theme onto some new side window pods too... There are now 56x 4" Coaxials :P

Soo Close and sooo Happy - pretty good reading for the car after 5-6hrs of demos! This was 41Hz but the car seems to like anything from 40-43Hz... What we really like is being able to sit on 157-158's with music for an entire song, and sitting on 155-156 all day long :D

A few more tests and tweaks and we 'might' find our missing 0.5dB - Woot!

Huge thanks to everyone involved in getting this car to where it is today!!!

More videos and minor updates to come - Stay Tuned
