New ground installation
First off, decided to install my new ground, after lots of research and advice that this is a good ground for my car

Used a saw and sandpaper to smooth out the sides

Now, you're probably wondering why the hell I'm covering the box in wood glue

883464_642718122411777_667087349_o.jpg
This is a method I wanted to try out because I didn't want to deal with priming or apply bodyfiller, or resin, and I had a shit ton of woodglue, so I sanded the box, and applied wood glue to prevent the mdf to soak up the paint.

This is how it came out after a night of drying

Installed my new ground

892604_644076502275939_595232992_o.jpg
Plastidipped the area to protect from corrosion

894900_644076515609271_1207957111_o.jpgAnd after struggling,lots of jig saw cuts, and being glad that I didn't give the box a nice finish

Here it is inside

905276_644076508942605_1377763770_o.jpg893047_644076555609267_2123718859_o.jpgNow, you're wondering, how to screw every screw

Well, I went out and bought this for $8

905221_644178472265742_1615271835_o.jpgEverything screwed in, now just need to hook everything up, also gonna re plasti dip the box, gonna go to a show on Sunday, and want it to look halfway decent.

Well, finally hooked everything up, though sadly, my RE DTS1500 went bad on me, when I hook it up, it goes into protect, then blows the power wire fuse, so gonna have to save up for a new amp, and at the meantime, borrowed my friend's MB Quart FX1.600(which used to be mine lol), and ran it at 1 ohm(2 ohm stable), doesn't get very hot, actually less hot then when I used to run it on a shitty ground.
Noise from the 4 channel is gone too, so hopefully that's a sign of a good ground as well, though voltmeter is dead, so need a new one as well.
Anyways, the new box is much louder than my CVR12 on 900 rms, also hits harder, tighter, faster, and goes lower without sacrificing the higher bass, actually, the higher bass is also just as painful lol
This is on a cheap $90 amp too
And here's some pics
(need to clean up the wiring, I know)

903421_645330475483875_464148707_o.jpgAlso touched up the box a bit
