Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is after the mounting feet were placed on the rack and before a little router work! Rounded over the front since people will be able to see it when the seats are let down.. it's all about presentation Also all holes pre drilled! Here's how it will look placed over the amps in the trunk.. I decided to place it semi close to the amps so that the fans will force air right on the case and also simulate how the fans operate in a computer case.. I figured since a computer is closed in, it helps flow the air better through the casing. I also felt like in open space the fans didn't blow as hard as I liked so I'm hoping with the coverage area being smaller that I'll help circulate more air! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 As ya'll know my enclosure is out for paint so I decided to "integrate" the cooling rack in the trunk more than making it stand out (how the enclosure will)... With that being said I had so fresh carpet sitting from my last build Just a little mock up Probably a little more than necessary, but meh, the more the merrier lol Final product!! Didn't get any picks during the process because it took both hand to stretch into corners and roll excess fabric in the holes.. But I love how it turned out!! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyerbyrd22 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 take a roundover bit to the port and plunge it down completely...it will leave a groove for u to tuck the carpet on, making it a perfectly straight seam..or even the same thing with a rabbet bit, but i like the look of the rounover better personal build in progress http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188656-2013-kia-sorento-6-12-no-wall/ www.facebook.com/TurbulentDesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that before on other projects, but this time I decided to just staple the underside due to it being placed behind the enclosure and won't be seen unless the seat is down and even then the underside wont be seen due to the slim profile... Carpeting in the Holes was a PITA but it came out exactly as I envisioned!! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Keep up the great work man! Glad to see it playing finally lol Thanks bud!! And I will say, This build is VERY surprising!! So efficient that I would say it's on par with the Sp4 build to the ear!! Less power drawn (only drop to 13.7 full tilt), Less weight (no more squat) AND less strain on my transmission (drives normal)... I love this build.. The ONLY thing I would even think to change would be going back to dual Hertz for my front stage (it's definitely been a thought).. other than that, I love it JUST the way it is!!

Wood Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 What up fellas!! It's been a minute!! I got a couple updates since the last time I been on here... My box has been painted.. color matched, I also went back to Ampere Audio I'm running the 125.4 & as of tomorrow the 2000.1 ... Also I have put my dual set of Hertz Audio HSKs in the front doors, dual mid single tweeter setup and my factory 3" midranges (which surprisingly are beast and blend well with my setup) all ran active (Yes I finally grew balls and did away with my crossovers)!! The only thing I feel I need is a rear battery (northstar gp34), to redo the body work and upholstery on my doors (I'll be doing this over the winter) and make this amp rack for my amps to sit nice, so when I have my seats folded they'll look nice.. I have 2 ideas that are pending, but I'll give ya'll more detail as the time comes! I'll post up a couple pics of my enclosure and if I can find some videos, I'll upload those for ya'll too in just a second!! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
