[Wood]

Whats going on folks!! Been a MINUTE and man time flys!!

I've decided to go about a "final" build for Red Ruby ... Went back to school as of last year so I took a huge pay cut and hit on personal time so it will be at least 2years after this before I do anything else to her! 

This build will be as big as the last... I will again get her painted , getting new wheels (same TSWs just different front offset) and put together a BADASS build!!

For this one, Things will be a bit different. No more Hertz  !!! Here's How the new log is gonna play out:

Front Stage:

Ampere 75.4 (for now)

Ampere 150.4

6 Crescendo Audio UN8s

4 Peerless Titanium tweets

Substage:

Ampere 2000.1 (for now)

3 Soundqubed HDS3.112s

Custom Birch 5.1 cu ft enclosure

• Big Ass port (8")

Welcome back man. Looks like fun. Only thing that even made second look is the RF360 dsp. Do your research on that through and through. Anyway, welcome back, and stoked to see what you have in mind, and how she turns out. Best of luck man.

Whats up bro!! Yea ever since I purchased it I've heard A LOT about it lol Kind of nervous now but I've narrowed it down to most common issues that I can try to avoid. Most of it is the settings with the knob which I didn't plan to use or even run my subs through. Subs will be ran directly from my headunit thru a custom bass knob my teammate made me .. I was strictly going to use it to tune my doors, One setting, no bluetooth, no nothing .. just eq and crossover ... Also they sent out a new update on the program, so hopefully that will also cure the bugs ppl experienced. Also read not to put a class d remote wire to the remote out on it so ill keep it on my headunit remote out... Hopefully with me using it simply and making minor adjustments in install that I wont have to experience the bs. It seems like ppl either have a good or horrible experience so im hoping im on the good side lol

And to answer your question on my status, Red Ruby is still the platform! she's a soldier haha

Sorry for the image issues... photobucket sucks so I changed picture hosting sites..

So this was the initial design I sketched in class (lol)

Got it as close as I liked as I wanted a little curvature from the fiberglass so I shortened all sides except the bottom

Perfect fitment!! The boss thing about the UNs are the 8s are less than a 1/4" bigger than the Hertz 6.5s .. Only reason the profile of the door will be thicker is due to the full panel design rather the  individual speaker ring design

[Wood]

So for the Final door design I'm going for a factory matched vinyl with charcoal stitching along the counter sink to have it completely match my interior.. The trim pieces will be chamfered and painted to color match my oem paint will grill cloth to mask the speakers.. Should look KILLER!! 

 

Got the wood work knocked out!!

 

Here's the final trim design

 

Being that I am far in this build I can give ya'll a quick update on the actual trim. So Of course everyone knows with fiberglassing there is a little bit of warp or shrinkage  depending on whatever variables. Being that my trim pieces are SUPER fitted (like have to pull back the board to slide it in area at a time), after the fiberglassing I experienced slight warp so there is gaps in areas it wasnt at first. So these pics are how the final trim pieces will look but will be re cut for perfect fitment to the current shape after they are upholestered!

[Wood]

From there I got the edges made for counter sink...

As ya'll can see there is ZERO gaps during this process so I'll make the proper adjustments on the final trim pieces 

[Wood]

Now for the "fun part" ... fiberglass

EWWWWW lol
