98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

I'd say it turned out pretty damn good for your first time too! In my 6 years of building, I still have yet to wrap a box lol

thanks mane

the trick I found was to hide the bad areas. the sides I had to do a 45....ish degree angle because diagonal angles as opposed to horizontal or vertical angles are less noticed by the eye apparently..... idk that's what the guys at the car audio shop said aaaaaaand they've also told me that I can't run my amp @ .5ohms and I can't wire my sub from outside the box so I don't know if I should trust them hahaha

That turned out nice showoff :D . Hey to let you know if you haven't read yet. The van is on hold got rear ended and the estimates show totaled :cray: .

Thanks! I want to do more buy money money money FML this is an expensive hobby. I did see that somewhere but I was at work on mobile. That's a big bummer, especially because you already have a bunch of equipment for the van build already :( Well ya gotta do something with them, do you drive the van and your wife drive the escort?

Amazing how the lack of money keeps us from enjoyment of our hobbies:). Yea the van was my daily driver and her escort is her project baby. Cause she started using the Pontiac for daily driver cause it has cruise escort don't so it's a back up. Hopefully a new vehicle soon or turne the escort into a two sweater :) :) :).

I'm not sure what you mean by a two sweater, but if it isn't her daily driver anymore then I suggest going all out and making that think loud. I'm sure you could use same box and get more powerful subs.... Or you could just wall it :rofl:

Good gravy didn't catch that sweater crap lol. I meant a two seater. Walling it is what I would do BUT she would remove my reason for being a man :o . Have you done anymore tweaking on your car lately.

Nothing lately. I'm down the the expensive stuff like 50 ft of 1/0 gauge and the high output alt. I'll post pics and vids once I get that in. Until I get that power wire there isn't much to do. But I'll be making an amp rack the the trunk, fiberglassing my cubby for the voltmeter, aux port, USB port, and amp switch and lastly Glassing a beauty panel for the front of the box. I just wrapped it. I'll post pics later though.

Yeaaaa two-seater!!!! Do it do it do it!!!
