Mr.JaunDurfle Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 This might be a semi slow build, I have most of the equipment, but I do need a few other things to complete it all. I traded my truck in on a 2012 VW Passat about 6 months ago and I've had a stock stereo since. This will be my first time building a ported box and my first experience with a 15" sub (SSA X-CON). When I got rid of my truck I sold my DC 5.0K, but through a stroke of luck, I was able to buy it back! The X-CON is Dual 1 ohm, so it should be good on the 5.0K at 2 ohms. I am keeping the stock head unit, but adding a Rockford Fosgate 360.3 to control everything. The door speakers will be RF T1675's for now powered by a Kicker 350.4. Knuconceptz wire, XS batteries, Dakota Digital volt meter, Second Skin are being used as well. The car the box plan trunk batteries will go in here 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin

She got me four sheets of 5'X5' Birch. The box walls will be doubled up so I don't have to internally brace it. I'm sure I left something out, but I'll be getting started on the box tomorrow. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 I played hooky from class tonight and got my box and false floor mocked up. False floor My car is filthy and this is just a mock up to see how it all looks and fits. Hopefully soon I can get the box painted and wires ran so this can come to life. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 Very nice progress. This is almost identical to my build lol I'm Doing it in a 01 Jetta Thanks.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 I sold off the Rockford 360.3 and will be ordering an Alpine INE-Z928HD with the Perfect Fit package soon. I wanted to keep my steering wheel controls and to do that I would have had to keep the stock head unit, which is why I bought the RF 360.3. But Alpine has a harness that makes it simple to tap into the harness for the steering wheel controls, so I am going that route, plus the Alpine plays DVD's, has navigation and a list of other things that I like. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Posted March 17, 2013 Small update: I decided to make an amp rack. I angled it 35 degrees, and I think it made a huge difference in how it looks back there. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin
