Finally started my build!!!

I am starting out by putting two Power Acoustik Mofo 154X subs in my charger. I'll Be hooking them up to a BAMF 5500.1D amp. I'll tryto post pics as i go but i don't have many yet. (btw i know that power acoustik is crap but i'm 17 and a little limited on $$)

got my power and ground done

didn't take any pics while i was building my box... here's a quick test fit before i put on the outer baffle which will also serve as a foot/stand and hold it parrallel

attaching the outer baffle

didn't have the money for the integration kit and a new headunit so I decided to go with an LOC... got a good one from my boss for pretty cheap. here it is along with my amp turn on wire and switch

spray painted the back of the box just so no wood shows when i put the amp on and make a face plate

Made a cut in the trunk carpet so i can fold it up and still access the batt and spare with the box in

Time for some sound dampenning mat:

I use a glue/paint sprayer hooked up to an air compressor with some contact adhesive. just made some overlay on the vinyl and sprayed both sides then carfully pressed down the vinyl.

Oh, and don't sweat the subs or anything.

We care about the pride you take in your work, not the brands you use :)
