Budget Burban Build: Alpine, Skar

[Crandis16]

lol make sure when you screw your amp down its strait and not crooked haha and nice build so far. though you def dont need the bracing in that box, and that lower right big angle is a little unnecessary, you could prob just do one in each corner like you did in the back left. anyways i like the build. to me its not a budget build. its an average person with a real like and real money build lol. good choice in stuff.

Thanks man. And actually the amp is already screwed down in that pic lol, I just did it temporarily on that piece. I got some mdf left that I'm gonna use to set the amp up a couple different ways and see what I like best, then I'll make it look much nicer.

And I already built it with the bracing, and actually, after I screwed them in, I could tell it was quite a bit more solid. So maybe unnecessary, but only cost a few bucks and probably helped at least a little. But I didn't include the big 45 on the bottom. Cutting the 45s was somewhat of a pita (my only tool is a circular saw), so as I was cutting all the pieces I was just like fuckit, I'll just leave it out and have a lower tuning. Now it's tuned to about 32.8 or so. I still think I might go back and cut that piece and mount it just to see how it sounds.

So far so good, is the amp 2-ohm stable and 500wrms @ 2-ohms? If so then I'm going for a very similar setup, except I'm using a Kicker amp and the Skar VVX-12 D4 sub. Let me us know how it sounds.

Yeah I'm running the amp at 2 ohms, but I set the gains with a DMM to 300W.

After I finished the box, I threw it in there and only got to listen for a couple minutes. I was fucking exhausted after 2 full days of work on this thing, plus I was excited and woke up too damn early each morning to work on it lol.

But I'll take more time to listen and get more pics up this weekend or next (depending on how studying for finals goes.)

Why yes I do have a build log, meow it's not finished yet so there is more to come. But tomorrow there should be more up on me painting my port and using wood filler to get the edges good and clean.... we'll see how it goes. It's currently assembled and test fitted for my car, but that's really about it, I still need to disassemble it, glue the edges, caulch it up, and reassemble da bish
