SMZ2 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well I just secured the back of the battery bank. It's drying now. I have to say I love fiberglass because it is going to fix a lot of gaps in this build and make the box even stronger. Building over wheel wells is aggravating.

funky Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well I just secured the back of the battery bank. It's drying now. I have to say I love fiberglass because it is going to fix a lot of gaps in this build and make the box even stronger. Building over wheel wells is aggravating. Good work! Yeah finerglass makes some parts easier for sure and really adds strength too. Ready to see the box come together man. Learn to live life, not just be alive!

SMZ2 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Any ideas on how to secure the batteries? They are pretty snug now but I don't want them sliding out.

thefourth Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Some L brackets possibly? Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

SMZ2 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Some L brackets possibly?I was thinking that would be the more solid of my choices. I was thinking that or the 2x2s.

SMZ2 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I really should have cut this at an angle but I will find a way to cover it. I have room for more amps now though! I got for the most part the entire back of the wall up. The top piece is doubled up and drying right now. I will be putting that up in the morning. I have the front baffle already cut as well it just needs sub holes and to be cut down for the port. I will have to buy another sheet of mdf for the L portion of the port. Thats a lot of mdf for just a port.... I will be fiberglassing the crap out of all the gaps though this wall will be solid with no leaks. Some how I'll make it look nice too lol. I think this thing needs new filters... Reppin PSi while I can hardly breath through this thing LOL My Build Log!http://www.stevemead...nissan-xterror/ Check the Youtube Channel for Updates!http://www.youtube....ser/Xterror2002And Seller Feedbackhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/163179-bought-from-smz2/#entry2363713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMZ2 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well my dad brought home an old shop light from work today so I got the rest of the top on... it was pretty frustrating... turns out the left side length is a 1/2 inch short. I'm just going to make font baffle flush. With that being said there was a small gap between the top and one of the back pieces. I stretched some fabric across the gap and it will be glassed over. I'm really hoping the 1/2 inch difference won't be a big deal. Well here are the pictures.

SMZ2 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes it has man! The subs will be two of the 18's that I was running fi bl/psi 18's, on two skar 2500.1s, I have a d3400 and 3 d3100s. No, but if you wanted to hear it when it's finally done we could meet up somewhere, I'm like 45min from Greenville. I should be hitting quite a few shows/comps this season too.

SMZ2 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I used some liquid nail to fill the gaps for now. I will be glassing over the liquid nail too. You know what time it is!
