AI James Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) 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.

notorious97200 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 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 !!!

PlasticMind Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meade916 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 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! T-Nuts and Stainless Button Head screws will do the job 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. 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 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

meade916 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 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 this is EASILY $30 worth of scrap 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 threaded inserts and grade 8 bolts Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
