revoracing247 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nice job cleanin up all the wire! Also, I put some screws and aluminum spacers in the box with the amp. If you build a wood "floor" to mount the amp to, you could use those screws and spacers to get a really good amount of airflow all around the amp. Lookin forward to the video! By the way, what do you have it wired to with the 8? thanks! now it's not such an eye sore and about to short out. and i saw that in the bag! im probably gonna use those if i can figure out how i want to mount the amp and the kicker is a 4ohm single voice coil. i had the gain about 3/4 turned up....i new i was pushing the boundaries just couldn't help it with actually having power again.

revoracing247 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I smell coil over here...lol haha i got a pretty good wiff of it as i opened the door. but luckily it still works. and i got to say now that im sending it clean good power im actually surprised what the little 8" does. it's only like 150rms or something and you can feel the bass some. anyways! it's the weekend!!! which means i finally have time to work on stuff!!! so i actually have box progress! (finally) but first here's a couple pictures of fixing the polk bass knob that came with the amp. there was a short in the cord somewhere and the variable resistor solders needed to be redone. so all said and done this is how much i had to cut out. anyways, onto the box progress!! my little brother doesn't seem to have the energy at 2am lol two walls on! put together the middle wall a little bit and trying to get it to dry strait. now with the right wall i guess i accidentally cut it a little short so i made the gap in the corner where there was a 45 so it'd be sealed off. anyways i made a little insert thing to help with the gap. just trying to show you guys everything, even the ugly spots got the back 45's in! and this is where i got last night. the inner wall isn't secure at all yet. anyways, just wanted to post this before i went out and got more work done on it!

revoracing247 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 well hopefully this will look even better! finally got a substantial amount of work done on the box today!! so with out further or do, on to the pics! got the inner wall in place. so the next piece to go on was the double baffle so i decided to have some fun and "mock" up the box by putting the top on. screw holes drilled and ready to go. baffle in and inner wall 45 in. last wall in place! now everything is glued/screwed in! (except the top of course) im always unsure about the this when im designing but here's the clearance of the magnet to the 45 behind the sub. and just a fun shot from the first bend. anyways, now to start work on the bends! i cut out a nice 7" radius bend on some sheet metal to use to help shape and it's time to bring in the beloved body filler! first coat to go on smoothed out and curing another bend getting done and sanding the first bend's that were done and getting them ready for a second coat. alright, the first coat on the bends is done got some sanding on the other bends done some but here is where the box rest's tonight. picture of the first coat and how much better the bends look! so anyways tomorrow im gonna finish sanding the corners and then get the second coat on there and it should be pretty much a perfectly round bend! it's pretty exciting to see it start to come to shape. thought the box is getting pretty heavy still need suggestions on a color scheme!!!! black/grey/green outside is kind of my truck so black with dark green port? flat black or glossy? any input would be awesome!

REVOofRustler Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Holy crap! Those bends look pretty flawless! As for color, I think Gloss black with a Glossy Forest Green Port would look pretty sick. Watch out with the glossy paint though. It can get scuffed up pretty easily... 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 club cab - Sold 2004 Audi S4 Avant - Fi and Crescendo - Stock Bose System - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147725-2002-dodge-dakota-end-of-the-road/?hl=%202002%20%20dakota 136.4 Sealed @ 29hz 137.0 Drivers window open @ 26hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
