Wicks Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I clicked on this thread when I saw O-SCOPE IN THE DASH. Then I went through the whole build. I have to say that this is one of the coolest builds that I've seen. From modding the hvac to the rear seat actuator to the busbars to modding the VM-1 I can't believe this much awesome is in 29 pages. You do good work sir. Wow, thanks Dude, awesome comment, much appreciated. I'm trying to do some unique stuff so its great to see people into it! More good stuff up my sleeve, stay posted! I know this whole "stuff up my sleeve" stuff. I live by him, go to him for some help and I still don't even know. All I know is some plans for the rear deck to cut out on some vibrations. Otherwise? Not even close, my friend.... I can't be having anybody leak my secrets now can I.....?

Wicks Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I posted this in the DC Audio section, but since its relevant to my build as well, here it is again: So recently I got my DC5K running my two DC XL12's and they were sounding great. A week ago I noticed a harsh rattling noise that I figured was my fiberglass trim piece around the subs or maybe the rear deck..... Boy was I wrong once I started looking closer. Well check out the bottom edge of my sub baffle (pardon the dirt, I'm still working on the front of the box): Yep...the whole bottom edge is cracked apart from the bottom plate of the box. This is a double baffle of 3/4" MDF which is also cut on an angle so there's >1.5" of contact area which broke loose.... Here's a video which shows the issue better: I was hoping it wasn't something serious like a damaged sub or something, but I was quite surprised that it turned out to be this. My first reaction was to be pissed, but I have to say I'm not mad at all, in fact I'm quite impressed. It's not like I have a wall either with long sides that could flex. This should have been pretty solid. Hmmm, maybe I didn't use enough glue, who knows...? Anyway just wanted to share. Rusty, thank you, I think for definitely making some bad ass equipment.
