Lbox88 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Pulled my (-) run from front to back out, wheeled off the the paint on the mounting bracket and ran the new grounds. Also tried to open the beer in this first pic with a wrench because no bottle opener and sprayed half of it all over the back . To top it off it tasted like ass, too old and been in my fridge forever. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Finalized my argument on either 10/12's while looking at the car with my dad. Just decided if I was doing this to save space and have a platform to set stuff on, might as well keep it low enough to do that comfortably. So 2 10's it is. Should be able to make this out of a little more than half a sheet of MDF. Now, to have the dipshits at bLowes cut them or just strap the shit out of a full sheet to my roof and take it easy driving home and cut it myself. And right now, trying to order a couple new fuse holders and fuses to go from the alt to rear batts when I replace the run from front batt to rear as well.

Lbox88 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was all motivated to work on the this last night, got tools out, got my driver side door trim pieces all off, had the hood open, then took the wire out. I bought a spool of SHCA 1/0 roughly about a year ago and it's been sitting all coiled up through last summer and winter on this broken spool. So to say the least, it was a little stiff in that it didn't want to give up its curl and twist for a few minutes. So I said fuck it, I had a friend call and decided to say hell with it for the night, did my best to straighten it out and get the twist out of it and hung it up like this to stretch it out until this evening. I got my new fuses and fuse holders in as well, and I think for the back what I'll plan to do it is mount the fuse holder onto the front of the battery frame so they're not just flopping/banging around.

Lbox88 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 My knees hurt. Just spent the last 3 hours basically laying in the engine buy, kneeling on the concrete floor, or kind of on my side up under the dash to get the new wire run. Big surprise, it's a little bit tighter fit than the old stuff getting it through the firewall and around under the hood. Tons of room right here to get in there. Ended up taking all positives off and hitting them with the emery cloth to remove the oxidation. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand in the process may or may not have dropped a hot lead on the block and saw a couple sparks. Maybe. Put it all back together minus fuses, will work on that, getting everything tucked away, and fuses wired up in back tomorrow.

Lbox88 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wiring is done for now. Trim is all back together, dash cover panel back on, seats back in their spots, rear being actually back further than it was before which is nice. Fuse holders mounted onto the battery frame. Time for fuses to go in and wires to be tied together to keep clean(ish) I don't know how or what I did, but I got the bench seat even further back than before, can't even fit the width of my pinky between the amp and battery.

Lbox88 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not used to this small of a pile of MDF. I've only built boxes for 12's and 15's. This feels weird. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Figured I'd build up a few pics this time before I update. Work is slow with a wife, kid, and couple of dogs to deal with each night. Like the last box, holes are pre-drilled and countersunk before glue'n'screw Putting the port pieces together. One thing that I've fucked up in the past, and tried to just cover up or pretend wasn't there, I'm bringing out and fixing this time. Do every build better than the last right? Well after I go off the specs from Torres and make all my cuts, my side pieces are always between 1/16"-1/8" too long and it either screws up the front or back boards because this happens. So they've been marked this time to be fixed so it won't be a problem this time. Went ahead and started sanding the cutout holes a bit to smooth them out. And to show you how much room I have to work in: UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wife watched the kid for a while and took her to a friends, so got a little work done. Gonna let the glue dry for a bit before I flip it and glue all the inside seams to make sure it's air tight. Then gotta find my wood filler and see if it's any good still.

Lbox88 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 So my wood filler was a rubbery solid block, had to pick up some more. Luckily this stuff dries fast so I already have all the holes covered and one side sanded. I know this isn't the best stuff but I've done well with it and it's all just for smoothing over anyways so it can be painted over.
