KingPepsi Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 So I have gotten some work done and I figured I would post the progress so far. This is going to be a winter build as I dont drive the car in the winter. This is the beginning and I hope to have it all done by spring. Here is the list of things going in it so far Stock Head Unit (Cant replace it without losing functionality) CDT ES-Gold 6.7" ES-06 Midbass drivers CDT ES-Gold 5.25" ES-5 Midrange CDT HD2 2"Mid/tweet driver Stock rear speakers for fill 2 SA-8 V.2's in a ported box tuned to 34Hz 2 Zapco DC364 4ch amps 1 Zapco DC1101 for subs Dice silverline iPod integration And here are the pics so far. Dont have the amps yet, I will be ordering them when i get back from vegas Heres the car And the rest Thats it for now. I am waiting on some replacement door panels so i dont have to cut up my factory ones. And I should have the box completed in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned! And thanks for looking!

KingPepsi Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nice work on the box. Are you using perspex for the front baffle or am I seeing things?? Front baffle is Acrylic. Never again will I work with this shit. It must take years of experience and talent to get it perfect. And I am not that guy! lol More pics The caulk will dry clear and then ill have to clean it up a bit. It looks "OK" in person. I am really not all that thrilled with it. The top and bottom plates of the box will be covered so you wont see the unfinished edge. This signature intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Doesn't look terrible from this end!! I think you'd have been better off making one panel to cover the whole side, vs that top plate coming out and screwing into the acrylic. Screw the acrylic to the top plate. Make sense?

KingPepsi Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Doesn't look terrible from this end!! I think you'd have been better off making one panel to cover the whole side, vs that top plate coming out and screwing into the acrylic. Screw the acrylic to the top plate. Make sense? Makes perfect sense! I thought about that one after the fact. If I was smart I would have used 1" MDF with threaded inserts and used 1/4x20 stainless hex head screws to secure it to the wood. What really didnt help either was that I had the acrylic precut and apparently their tolerances suck! Each piece was an 1/8" too narrow and 1/8" too tall. So I had to redesign the box to make up for the cut errors. This box should hold up but if it doesnt I already have tons of mistakes i have learned from. The next one will be better.

scooter99 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Use birch next time too. Mucho better than MDF. Little bit more money, but worth it. Every time is a learning process man! You just got your first lesson is all! HOpe it works out for you! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
