Looks like third time is the charm with this design.... make sure you duck when the arm rest comes resting in the front seats. Good build sir.

I cant wait to see the full build. Tuned in.

Does the plexiglass add anything to the sound or just looks? I'm running an old mix box with the plexiglass back . Just wondering if it helps or just for display?

Tested it today but there is no way to "temp" a box in with an SMD and 3500watts on it. It just wants to pull the box apart. I tell you what though, the tone is DEEP and powerful.....great range. And that was on the BENCH. Wait till i get me some cabin gain.

once it is fitted and the hole is proper.....i will pull the box out AGAIN and do my bracing and get the bolts to hold the sub in properly. Then i can finally put it in and try it out!! Its all about prep work here. I can't rush it.

One more thing - reminder of what i already said. The sub is off center for a reason. There is a support bar at the bottom of the opening that is about 3" high. I raised the sub up as high as i could to clear that. Its still not fully cleared but its not too bad.

I usually do my best cuts old-school style but i hit some layered metal and had to put the snips down.

thats right ya'll the old jig saw with metal blade. Made SHORT work of the task at hand.

of course i am going to spend time cleaning up the hole and then sealing off the baffle. This thing is gonna SLAM. All other IsF, 250 and 350 better watch out lol

Looks good and I bet it will slam. Were you a little nervous to cut the Lexus up? maybe just a little?

[sayhuh?]

I'm only in here to leg hump

Looks good though. I still get nervous once I start cutting on the car lol. Especially that car!

That's pretty incredible Mr Meade, holy shxt balls, I wish I could do that in my gto but there's a gas tank in the way. Is there anything you can't build? Doubt it!
