TheNewbie Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hey, my names Ryan and i've been into car audio for a little less than a year now on this forum for about ehh.. 5 months learning about car audio and let me say.. I'm definately starting to improve haha. I'm 17 and just wanted to do something bigger than my previous build (Level 3 DC). So i'm currently building my box for my level 4 M2 12'', that will be running off a SKAR 1500.1 will run 4 gauge throughout my car, and 0 gauge for the big three with another battery in back. Well, that's about all for now I'll be sure to not post to many pictures.. I know how you guys hate those BUILD DC level 4 M2 12'' 4 gauge Knu wiring. Big three XP 950 Battery SKAR 1500.1 (Undecided on speakers) Sound deadner of course.. Pioneer DEH-14UB CD USB H/U Stock 90Amp alt This is what im working with, my little Mitsubishi Eclipse 1997 Ricer. Uploaded with ImageShack.us 4 gauge OFC Knu wire, and my very first box. (Horrible I know) Uploaded with ImageShack.us The start of my second box, One Way (Rick) and I took forever figuring out box specs and with our cuts so I moved it to my room because it was dark and I wanted to start Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us The lines were i should put the port walls Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Put the box on my double baffle while it was drying. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I was going to have the box like this.. was a piece of metal saying "SPL" but didn't want people to get the impression I thought I was all that. So i took it off. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Did this instead, I think it looks cleaner anyways, I put the screws back into the holes that were holding up the sign so there wasn't going to be any air coming out. Ran outta paint gotta get some more tomorrow. Uploaded with ImageShack.us For laughs I put a picture of my first box and the 4 gauge wire, (very first picture) to show progress. Well so far this is what I have figure i'd get a build thread started now rather than later. I'll be adding pictures as my items come in, and the build progresses. Thanks guys Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412 CVX Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Time to brush up on teh jigsaw skillzzz like how the box is turning out though. tuned in fo this oh and one more bee tee dubz, a pint can of rustoleum and a paint roller will yield a much better finish than that spray paint will. future reference Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

Soon as I cut it was pretty irritated at myself. But with time i'll get better for sure. Maybe get a circle jig Thank you sir. EDIT: Ah damnit, I had some in my garage too, but I was looking for a more.. spray paint look I guess you could say haha, I purposely painted outside the paper to create the little square.

412 CVX Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 yeah the DC logo was pretty cool looking. but i hate spray paint finish on the whole box personally. the wood just soaks up too much paint.

I agree honestly, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. I haven't carpeted and it's cheaper to paint it, so I went the cheap route being I'm poor right now Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
