Sweet yeah definatly interested now! Keep it up lovin it so far! Yeah I had seen someone elsee do it, and was like "oh hell yeah thats what I want." I did want to run all six runs together, for the looks, but it just wasn't possible unless I ran it all under the car, which I wanted to avoid at all cost. I love it. Maybe I should do mine. I wanna get my alt and big 3 etc ran! Do it! You wont regret it man. Just make sure you use the flame ret. for under hood/ under car runs. It is only $5 more per 50ft. Well worth it IMO...

Purplehaze Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Posted June 5, 2013 Well, had something come up, and I didn't make it to Pittsburgh today. The plan now is to go up on Thursday. But in the meantime, I have 100+ pics (only about 50 good ones) uploading now, I'll get them posted asap. Damn Photobucket is slow...

Purplehaze Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Posted June 5, 2013 Okay, so first off, I started the front baffle/ loading wall. I bought the last 2 sheets of birch they had. So I will use 1 piece of 3/4" MDF to finish it off (trim beauty panels). But first is structure and strength. So check it out.I was hoping to cut this in one piece, however as you can see, that wasn't possible.So I did the best I could, left it short at the bottom where it will be covered with a trim panel. Then I cut the opening for the port in the first layer, so it can be transferred to the other layers.Then after fighting with it for hours, and literally taking everything out, I realized that it was just not going in in one piece. So I cut it down the middle.And that's as far as I got on the baffle. I'm going to cut the 2nd piece today (3rd layer) and hopefully get started on the ports. I was going to finish the front batt. bank first, but I changed my mind. I'll do that soon. But I want to get this baffle and ports built so I can get started on the tedious task of body work to the ported section. Gonna make it look pretty! Also, I got something up my sleeve here on this baffle. Should be a nice touch!In the meantime, I also started another project. I'm collecting Solo X 18 motors to build my own custom subs (Solo XXX 15's). So first I made a few "motor stands" out of scrap wood and a little carpet, then I got the motor and frame split on my first sub. Check it out!I went ahead and made a few of them.I'll use the one I messed up a little as the "sub-woofer work bench". It worked out great! Glad I did that.Now to separate the motor from the basket. This was not easy. 12 bolts total, 4 of them have to be cut out. Got it!Then after some TLC, I got her cleaned and ready to be built!And how about a few comparison picsOr no comparison pics... And that's about it, I don't want to clutter this thread with a bunch of pics of sub builds and tear-downs, so I will probably make a separate thread for that, and just show a few pics here. Plus this will be a slow process, as I am supposed to pics up Solo X 18 #2 tomorrow, and I will still need two more. So this will go on the back burner, as I try to get the wall together and finished. At least that is the plan. Stay tuned, and thanks for lookin'!
