Steua Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 It's been a little while since I've updated my log so here's a start. I had a small oil leak from one of the bolts on my intake manifold so I replaced the gaskets; didn't get pictures cause the good ol Florida weather was pressing me for time and it's not too much to see anyway. Had a 12' piece of 0 ga CCA after doing the big 3 so I ended up grabbing a couple ring terminals so I could run a ground from the batt to where I have the amp grounded on the frame; it's way overkill for +/- 400 watts RMS but so what? I'll get pics of it when I'm installing an alarm and key-less entry tonight/tomorrow. I also got cup holders mocked up but not finished as you'll notice in a couple of the pictures. As of the past couple weeks, I had been getting really annoyed and tired of having the switches to turn on the HU and gauge lights behind the passenger seat so I decided to relocate them. Fortunately for me, the cutout for the air vent underneath the steering column had a perfect dimension for the switches I had to snap into. With the new location for the switches, I had to get power behind the dash. Bought some 8 ga and a terminal strip. But then I had to get rid of this mess. After I got the old mess out, the new one had to go in. Looks much better behind the seat as well (after I vacuum of course). I didn't have to look too far to find where I was going to mount the terminal strip. All that was left was wiring the switches back up. Aaaand... voila! After having the switches there for a day, I asked myself why I ever had them where I originally put them. Anyway, that's it for today I believe. Questions, comments, or concerns?

Steua Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's been quite a while since I've had an update on the truck and I figured now is as good of a time as ever since I'm starting a new build to bring in the new year. I bought a VVX-10 from Skar's sale on refurbished items and that should show up on Monday and today I started cutting pieces for the transmission line it will be going into after it shows up. The rest of the pieces should be cut and starting to be assembled tomorrow assuming it doesn't start to rain like it did today. That's all I've got for today and since I don't like posting in the log without including a picture, here's one of the truck in its current state: '79 El Camino Skar VVX-10 in a t-line tuned to 26 Hz Build log: Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steua Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Made some progress on the t-line for the VVX-10 that UPS should be dropping off tomorrow afternoon. Luckily, all of my classes this semester are on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I'll be able to get more done tomorrow and Wednesday. Going to drill guide holes, screw, and glue tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a finish on the box yet; I'm open to suggestions if anyone has one. Seems like a lot of box for a 10" woofer. Dimensions are 43-7/8" x 27-7/8" x 8-1/2" with differences in a few areas.

Steua Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Dang ... That enclosure going in the compartment behind the seats ?? Let's hope so lol. The lack of space behind the seats really limits the possibilities, but the compartment actually has a depth of 24-1/2". It's going to stick out a little bit but should still be fine with seat clearances. I probably went through 8-10 designs before I figured out one that the numbers said would work. My eyes don't necessarily agree with the numbers. '79 El Camino Skar VVX-10 in a t-line tuned to 26 Hz Build log: Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steua Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Figured I'd throw up an update while I was taking a break to eat. After I pre-drill guide holes on top/bottom panels, I like to dip an eyeglass screwdriver in ink to mark where the hole translates to on other pieces. It usually works out pretty well. And the mark it leaves is like so: Just when I start to get going, UPS shows up with a package; wonder what's inside: That's it for now. I'll get back to work on the box after I'm done eating and should have another update later in the afternoon or evening. Thanks for looking.

Chris Hammer Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Im doing a Skar vvx10 in a T-line also.. Just have to assemble the sub tonight and I can install it all tomorrow. How much power are you planning on running? Whats the tuning on the Line. Mines not as nice as yours with the rounded corners...but it came out huge with tuning in high 20's...28-29hz. Nice car/build by the way. MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

Nice car/build by the way. Have a build log for yours? I'm planning on giving it around 400 watts. What did you use as the Sd for the port area? The tuning is the Fs, so ~26 Hz. T-lines are usually always huge; doesn't make it easy to come up with a solid design when you're extremely limited on space. Thanks. I'll have to put some pics of my '81 up when I start to do some work on it.
