i didn't work on the box yesterday due to all the orders i had to get out (DD1's etc)..but i am hoping to make a little progress today. Little thinks like T-nuts, threaded inserts and fiberglass. I will post pics later in both threads. Thanks!

I know most of your builds are pretty loud, is that something your looking for here, or just a goos sub blend with what your adding elsewhere? I know you probably arent looking to rattle apart a brand new car so i understand if your not looking for some ridiculous number, guess just pretty anxious for box results.

The car is fantastic.

I like that you was not afraid to cut some metal !!!

Nice work Mr Meade.

Just one question : why do you want to use 3 sets of comps in that car ? One could be enough, or 2. But 3 is a lot !!!

black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp

OEM head unit, Amplifiers Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats.

2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3  ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area.

So impressive!! I wish I could have seen this build before I let those hacks at my local shop install my JL W7 13.5 in my ISF. I think I'm more nervous watching you cut up the trunk then you are!! This WILL be the baddest ISF in Cali!! Great work Steve!!

Time to add some T-nuts for the sub and threaded inserts for the plexi glass window.

Its always good to have a template laying around!

IMG_1002.jpg

T-Nuts and Stainless Button Head screws will do the job

IMG_1003.jpg

1x1 strips

an extra 1" frame around the back panel for extra support and also a nice landing for the weather stripping i am using to seal it off.

IMG_1012.jpg

more support for the roof of the box. It should help make it even more rigid. This will all be glassed in as well for even more strength.

Rounded over of course

The bottom panel still has a gap but it IS NOT attached yet. I cannot attach it until it is IN the car. Thats the last step. So if you see a gap, SORRY. lol

Yes, I KNOW the rear piece sticks up above. I designed it like that. I am cutting a reglet (channel, groove) to hold the LED's which will set the logo off that i am putting on the glass. I am using an F logo and i am lighting it up blue to match the car.

3" o.c. on all the bolts

IMG_1034.jpg

threaded inserts and grade 8 bolts
