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.

Wood! 3/4" Birch, 11 ply

My girlfriend bought me the wood! 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.

I played hooky from class tonight and got my box and false floor mocked up.

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.

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.

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.
