Astro build...*NEW VIDEOS! page 7!* lots of sexy plexiglass, 2 18s walled, ~9k rms

[C-Fizzy]

I ran a singer 270, stock batt up front and 2 xs power xp3000's and I dropped .6 volts full tilt on an aq3500.1. You'll be fine.

[Afficionado]

DO WORK!

I have been, but there is TONS more work to be done.

Sounds good so far. One 350 amp alt with those batts will be plenty for those amps.

I hope so. Id like to get away with 2 d3100s and one s3400 under the hood, but if i need more to keep 13.0+ on the voltmeter, then i will get another d3100.

Sounds interesting im lurking on this

thanks for looking! pics are about 75% uploaded.

Do work!

yezzir!

I imagine any computer equipment should be unphased. The only thing that i can think of within the computer that could have negative effects due to the vibrations of the woofers is the HDD. and if you're bumping hard enough that could definitely be a problem. this could be resolved by using primarily SSD'S when the subs are slamming. or you could just take the chance and replace the hard drives if they do end up being damaged.

anyways, sounds like it will be an awesome build. looking forward to seeing your progress.

well we have plenty of spare drives. and SSD is getting pretty cheap now so if there is a problem, we will change to all SSD. Thanks though!

sounds good, i was just responding to what the other guy posted. yeah, ssd's are getting pretty cheap now. could be a very viable option.

steam cleaned the carpets lol

so we got 4 6 inch clear pvc ports.

we were trying to get the plexiglass guy to do flared ends on the ends like aeroports, but he said that he couldnt do it for a reasonable price, so we came up with the next best thing. i wanted to be able to have some flare on both ends of the ports, and i wanted to use my router with a roundover bit. I also wanted the ports to have a brace on the back side instead of just chillin...so this is what i came up with.

and then rounded over

so then i sprayed them with undercoating. it turned out amazing!

An astro with only (2) 18s?? I think thats against rule #1 of having an astro.

Great work

[soundsystemaniac]

got the ports glued on to the port brace.

got the holes in the front baffle for the ports.

came out pretty good for using a jigsaw.

rounded over

went ahead and masked off the ports so that i could paint the underside of the port brace now that i attached the ports to it already.

sprayed with more bedliner.

just mocked it up to see what it looks like.

sub holes cut

baffles ready to be glued together. there are 3 front baffles.

more to come. There are more pics on my brothers camera, but he has it at the moment. i will add them when i see him again.

haha, well i wanted to be able to build the box outside the van and fit behind the 3rd row.

this should get pretty loud with just the 2 18s though.

Great work

thanks.

oh, idk i didnt mention in my first post, but the tv will be mounted on brackets where the center window on the drivers side of the van is. so that when you open the side door of the van, you will see the tv facing you. and it will be on a swivel mount so that it can be tight up against the side of the van or come out and turn facing the 3rd row bench. there will be no second bench. lots of leg room
