Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 So Project: HMROID is a 1990 Mazda B2200. It's a side project that is going to take some time to complete due to limited funds. So far I've lowered it 3" in front and 5" in back, painted it a pale green and changed a few small things out on it. I have an Alpine H/U, Alpine SPS-600 speakers in doors and rear, 2 Boston Acoustics SPG555-2 subs, a Kicker 10ZX350.4 and 2 Kicker 10ZX750.1 amps for the subs. I'm almost done building the sub/amp enclosure for the truck, maybe this weekend I'll get it put together. Future plans are for the truck to be on airbags, body dropped, full sheet metal bed, custom frame, shaved body, 20" wheels, Fiber glass all over the interior, new turbo engine, etc. all while still being able to be driven everyday. Anyway here's some pics... here's how it started out what it looks like now Quote 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandonrcm Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looks good lowered, my brother had a bagged one of these with a 350 sbc in it. Love these trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 This is the first box/enclosure I've ever built. The sub boxes are 1 cubic foot sealed. They will get mounted inside the enclosure with the amps infront. It's all 3/4 inch MDF. I should have done 1/2" MDF, but I didn't think about that when I drew out the plans and got the wood. Oh well, it's just a little extra heavy. The enclosure is 53" wide, so it should be a tight fit in the truck. I have to cut a new top piece. The one in these pics is 3/4 of an inch too narrow form front to back. After that I'll put one set of Alpine SPS600's in the top piece next to the subs. Eventually I'll prep it for paint, but that will be a little while before I can get it painted professionally.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks Brandon, I want to put a Nissan KA24de in it and turbo it, but we'll see.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Clean! Going to be a bit different than most builds you see too. Me like. I've wondered how those Boston Subs sound.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 They sound great. I'm sure they could put out some good SPL #'s if they were in a ported box, but I listen to rock/metal so no ported for me.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 No real update yet, I've been kind of lazy this weekend. I did however get the top re-cut and put the whole thing together to see what it looks like. Here's some pics. I screwed the top no from the underside so there are no screw heads to see, I think it came out pretty good.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I finally got off by butt and put the enclosure in my truck. I didn't run the wires or hook anything up. I just wanted to see how it fit and looked all put together. I am very happy with the end result. I think I will take the top piece back off and flush mount the 6.5 inch speakers. They kinda look like an after thought right now. Anyway here's how it turned out. Side window is pretty dirty, sorry... Should be pretty loud with the subs pointed up right behind your head!

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 So I finally got around to finishing the install. The box is resinned, sanded and painted. The paint color is the same as the truck, Celery Green. I did flush mount the 6.5"s so they don't look like an afterthought anymore. I'm very happy with the quality of the set-up. It gets loud and moves enough air (sealed box) to vibrate the rear window pretty violently. I'll have to try and get some video of that. Anyways onto the pics....
