TechSys Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Last 2 pics the primer was still wet. There are a lot of runs but I think I'll be able to wet sand them out. The driver side pic doesn't do justice, it look real good in person, well, for a rattle can job. Why did I do this? I got tired of he way the van looked, was time for a change. Hopefully for the better.

TechSys Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well, some of you know what I was using. It wasn't that great, so..... let the pics speak. Decided to reuse a box I had in the van before. I did get alright numbers with it before, but had technical difficulties also. I think we may have fixed that. My mess. This is an under construction project so it may be messy for a little while. I luv them SPLXs. Other 2 are in the back still boxed up. Other side of box I changed out the headliner last week, if I remember right. Now I have a normal headliner instead of that fiberglassed one. I tried to seal off as best as possible up there. Don't think I'll have much of a problem. Had to turn the camera a little bit to get this. It's the slider side of the enclosure. Bracing is not done yet though. I also have to seal it from the front. Back of enclosure. As above, the bracing is not done. Also have to do somethign about batteries and amp(s) The fugliest deadening job you've probably ever seen. The mojo sitting on the other 2 sub boxes. This is the amp I have been using for a while now. Waiting on new equipment to replace it with (more power) Side of one of the boxes. Not sure why I took this shot.

TechSys Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I wish I would have had build pics, but I've been doing this off and on for the past couple weeks. Work has been driving me crazy and I only get to do a little at a time. I realized today that I haven't took any pics since I primered the van, which sucked, so I took these just now. Sure hope it does good, which we will see soon.

TechSys Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks. Hopefully the new amp will be here before March 9th. There is a show in my area and I really want to be able to compete. At least that'll give me a little bit of testing before sbn. I may have to run the mojo amp though, depends on if SoundStream delivers on time. 4 splx-154 subs on the new XXX-4000d amp (for now) at 1ohm with a 16volt system. Still have a lot of work to do, which I'm supposed to be doing during lunch at work (or any other time I can while at work, supervisor privileges ftw). Trim panels, amp rack, alt and batteries install.

TechSys Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yea, it's been a bit crazy, but it's getting there. I couldn't have got this far if my team and sponsor(s) didn't kick me in the a$$ a little. I was gonna give up for a bit, but some people won't let me. That's definitely a good thing. I just installed a strobe for the dome light, to annoy people. Seriously though.... It's going to be wired to the alarm eventually. May have to wait until after SBN though. Now if I could just get some glassing skillz like you and I'd be pretty much set..

I have had some other problems with the 154s though. When I first got all 4 subs, one went out. The cone froze. Seems it was somehow dropped before I got it. I reconed that one and had to do a lot of realignment on everything. The second one that froze I had SS recone. Both of the subs looked as if they never had power to them, and I put one on an opti 4000d. Later this season I'm planning on getting either the xxx-12000d or xxx-15000d. I might have to do a rebuild of everything since I'm also thinking about getting 4 of the new 15" xxx subs. This build is mainly for sbn. It will have very little testing done on it before then.
