Thanks bro, yeah I'm super excited about it all! Plus, I may have a little surprise addition to the equipment in the very near future, so now I'm just all tore up ready to get to work on it even more! I'm off Tuesday & Wednesday this week, and it is supposed to be pretty both days, so I am planning on getting as much done as humanly possible. Maybe then I can get this thing playing some test notes by this weekend... So how is your trunk coming along? I think I'll go check it out now! I can't wait to see yours come together as well man!

MattVogel Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just a suggestion but I am an avid supporter of Alpine. My entire car is outfitted in alpine audio and none of it is the low end stuff. Anyway, the imprint system is a very good one and i would suggest it for any car but the power packs are probably less than what you would like. My uncle was an engineer for Alpine when those were designed and he told me that they are not really good for much more than speakers that are a rms of 60 watts and with long periods of high output those units will really heat up. if you have the money you are much better off investing in a couple of PDX f-4s. you will be much happier with the product overall. I can promise you that. Cool man, thanks. I appreciate the heads up, I really didn't know much about them. I was just gonna use them on my tweets, which atm are cheap Kicker KS 1", but yeah I'd rather check into something better for sure. The main reason I was gonna use those were how small they are; they would fit easily under my seats in place of the crossovers. And my tweeters don't need much, about 25 - 45 rms each. I do however plan on upgrading at some point. But I may just have to figure something else out, don't want overheating issues... yeah those pdx amps have awesome power efficiency and temperature management. they will automatically decrease gain until the amp reaches a safe temp. but the lowest rms amp is still 100 per channel for a 4 channel.. so you could split the speakers and do a few per channel. http://alpine-usa.com/product/view/pdx-f4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehaze Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Okay so the place we left off last update was the base, I had pulled it out to open up the battery spot for some bigger batts in the future. So after removing the old mdf board, and cutting the hole out bigger, I needed to cut a new board for the bottom. InstalledNext step is to drill holes and glue in t-nutsMy little method of keeping them straightGlue so they don't come outThen I ran into a little problem (story of my life). I had purposely made the cutouts a little bit big, so I wouldn't have any problems when mounting inverted. Well, looks like I went a little too big. That's okay, I wanted to seal this up anyway. So first, some Kitty Hair in the areas that need built up the most.Then fillerThen once I had done that to all 4 holes, time to finish the t-nutsHere it is finished (added a little primer inside)More on the way...

Purplehaze Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 So now I am finally ready to start putting this beast together for good. Meaning with glue, screws, nails, and steel. So lets get it!Had to deal with one of the t-nuts on each top sub, here is how I did that.Now I will wait till last to instal the top, to give myself easier access for glassing.I'll start w/ one layer of cloth I had laying around... then two layers of chop mat.I got the resin on, but forgot to get a pic. Oh well, I'll get some in the next few days while I am finishing it up. Next up is the front baffle, and I still need to run my 1/0, so I may do that next too. We are creeping along.. but getting closer and closer! Stay tuned for more, thanks for looking!

Purplehaze Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm sorry that I work so slow, and take so many pictures. Do you all think I actually put up too many pics? Be honest, it wont hurt my feelings. I want my build log to be desirable to look at, not annoying... Also, feel free to chime in at anytime if you have any ideas or suggestions. I really appreciate everyone that has posted here so far with all the positive feedback and ideas. You guys are the best!
