rusty959 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 So I have had almost all of the stuff to do this build for awhile now but due to being busy hadn't gotten around to it. Well, I finally have a week off from school, so build time it is. The plan is to seal it off from the trunk. I had some plans on how I wanted to do it, but when it came time to actually start measuring etc, most of my plans got changed in some way. The primary problem is that the width of the trim ring on the sub is about 13" but many parts of the trunk doesn't even have that much height. So, I am going to have to use some tricks. I have a few goals with this build. One goal is to leave as much room in the trunk as I can. I already have very little space in this car and fairly often I need to take stuff with me. A second goal is I have to be able to cleanly remove everything for the times I autocross. I have some plans on how ill do this but still have it securely in there both for the sake of being safe and to make it harder to steal. Due to the second reason for making it secure, I won't show at least some of what I'm doing to make it secure. A third one is to make it as light as reasonably possible. I realize that if lightweight is the goal, I shouldn't be using an hcca. However, its what I have, so I'm going to make use of it. But, considering the point of this car is to be lightweight and I enjoy it being so for daily driving, I might as well do the best I can. So, birch! I have a decent amount of time into this build already, but since a good bit of it is just measuring and thinking and whatnot, here is what I have to show. First was to kinda place things where I envisioned them to see how it would look and measure. This brought about the first issue I found; originally I was planning on having a tilted front to the box. But too bad, the hcca has too big of a magnet to be able to tilt within the height confines I have. Oh well to that. Wire from an old build. Bringing new life and electrons to the AQ!

rusty959 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Got some more materials Made a template Made some cuts Screwed it together to test fit. I ran into some more issues with how massive the sub is. I hadn't actually checked the cutout for the sub, and it turned out to be more than what I had been planning the inside height of the box. That just won't work, so ill just have to deal with an extra inch worth of causing problems with being too high in a tiny trunk. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
