Wicks Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 You're making your own RCA's?? Did you not learn from Wicks?? Lol. Jk. I am making my own yes. I did see his. I've, thankfully, never had an rca fail that I've made................ I'm actually talking with Jon, and may buy some of his RCA's if they ever get here in time. So we'll see how that all works out. Hey now............ I tried some experimental things and they didn't quite work out. You gotta try new things every now and then. I have a slight alternator whine on my right-side highs that has been there regardless of custom RCA's or not..... I'm guessing it has to do with my huge open fuse panel and the mass of wires I have bunched up in that corner. I'll get it handled. Enough of me though... MOAR PICS!!!

scooter99 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Unbelieveable build man. I've been trying to keep up with it more, but you post so many pictures per post that my ipad can't keep up and crashes haha Looking forward to seeing it come together. Your setup is pretty much exactly what I have in mind for doing on a Lexus build I have coming up. Love the deck port I'm sorry about the pics. Maybe I can get it down to 10 per post when I do them, I don't know. Is everyone having that issue? It would be a little longer on posting, but I'm happy to spread it out if it's an issue. Let me know guys! I just realized. You take for ever to do anything. Just like me, I now feel better Sorry I'm not moving fast enough. Glad I could make you feel better though. I only get like an hour here and an hour there, or half hour here and there. That's why it's slow. But I thought I was moving pretty quickly lately. You're making your own RCA's??

Yeah I knew all about your stuff, I'm just giving you a hard time. That's a great point on that panel though. If the wires are that bunched up it could cause an issue I guess. Damn I hope you don't have to go tearing that whole thing down. I hope you can figure it out soon. I know for me it'd drive me batty! More pics huh? I'll see what I can do about that.

ToNasty Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Haha I'm messing with you. I've been 8 months in the making and I have nothing built yet ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
scooter99 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 I figured. Ok let's take a look at my hour for tonight. Ok so 10 pictures per post. Let's see what this does. Here we go. So I had another hour today. I needed to cut a piece to go on the top of the enclosure for the sub baffle. This gives me a double layer of attachment for the sub baffles to screw to. Right now there's only one layer on the top as you can see. Cut it up, and it already had the angle on it because of the last piece I cut. Made this quicker. Clamped it on to make sure it fit well. Also got some new screws today, 3 1/2". Fit perfectly. I probably went a little deep though, looking at it, with the counter sink bit. I'm not liking the looks of that but not sure how I could fix it at this point. Maybe I can fill it back in and re drill it, I don't know. Got the holes drilled out for the insert. I learned my lesson this time. I took it out and then drilled the holes. This way there is no filling to do from the inside. LOL brushed out some glue on the top and the end. And screwed it down. I forgot to take a pic from the inside to show no screw holes. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Rubber weather stripping is the next step. This was just a trial run to see what was going to happen. I decided on two layers, one on the inside of the screw holes and one on the outside. Got the port screwed down, and discovered it was about 1/8" gap between the enclosure and the port. So I am concerned about port noise because of this, so I'll be doing something bit different. I'm going to go ahead and flip this over, and router out a groove about 1/16" into it. Then the weather stripping will sit in the groove and compress tightly when the extension is screwed down. Here's the bit I have. Pretty perfect if you ask me!! I had a bit more time after the kids went into the bath. These needed to be filled in. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 As well as this, which if you will recall is why I learned my lesson on that piece above. I picked these guys up for like $2.00 at Lowes. I was tired of looking for spreaders and these are pretty solid plastic for the cost. I got two sets. This is what comes in one set for $2.00. So I got the first coat on the baffle. I need to check out the depth of the screws for the subs, which means putting them back in, so that I can decide if I want to fill over the inserts or not. That's why that's not done yet. Also got a coat on the screw holes in the enclosure. That's it today. That was my hours worth. Tomorrow is my wife's birthday so I won't get anything done tomorrow night. I'll try for Friday but if not the weekend will show some progress for sure!
