SOSAutosport Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 the fact it did a 49 in that box is impressive. I'm not building for numbers at all.

SOSAutosport Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 If I missed it my bad but any HO alt? I've also got an 05 and wondering if you had any luck with one. Not yet, haven't really looked into it either. I'll be contacting Mike Singer for the alt when its time though. As far as doing an alt in an escape of this body style, its a time consuming job to say the least.

SOSAutosport Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Came across a few deals I couldn't pass up lately, got 15 sheets of 1" mdf for a steal of a price, 500ft of 14 awg speaker wire, and hopefully today I'll be grabbing 20ft of 2/0 monster cable power wire.Ideally for now I'd like 4 runs from front to back, 2 power, 2 ground. then I'll start my deadening most likely going with ct sounds deadener now.

SOSAutosport Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 small update, got some donor panels so I can start work on them, pulled the box out to start the build on the wall shortly, and got a couple batteries will be adding another one, possibly 2 more haven't decided yet.Batteries are basically second strongest batt to a odyssey 2150 fully sealed agm batteries, deka group 31. 850cca and 65 amph with dual marine posts. @ $125 each I grabbed two for now.Pulled all my gear out including the back battery yesterday and noticed the front battery has been completely dead so I had to throw the universal big battery back in for now tempoarily Deck: Kenwood DNN990HDFront Stage: (6) 8" Skar Audio PAX-8 Pro Audio Speakers - 3 in each front door (4) 1" Skar Audio VX1-ST Bullet Tweeters - 2 in each front doorSubs: (4) 15" Skar Audio VVX-15v2 Dual 4s wired at 1 ohmSub Amps: (2) Skar Audio SK-2500.1Mids/Highs Amp: (2) Skar Audio LP-80.4 - powering mids/tweetersWire: (4) runs of 1/0 cable front to back, T SPEC V12 RCABatteries: (5) group 34 batteries - 1 up front, 4 in backC-pillar flat wallBuid Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174250-05-ford-escape-limited-skar-audio-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOSAutosport Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Started the wall build today, going to go over with it and build the rest using PL for now, far better quality glue imo. Also looking into the AirLift 1000 spring helper bag setup. Basically its a bag that presses into the coil spring runs off a valve you can connect air supply to and set the ride height as desiered to keep from sagging. I read quite a few reviews which all seem to be okay, and for the money I think I'll give it a shot.Anyway heres a few progress pics for the build thread.And the airlift system I'll be ordering shortly:http://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/60796/ Deck: Kenwood DNN990HDFront Stage: (6) 8" Skar Audio PAX-8 Pro Audio Speakers - 3 in each front door (4) 1" Skar Audio VX1-ST Bullet Tweeters - 2 in each front doorSubs: (4) 15" Skar Audio VVX-15v2 Dual 4s wired at 1 ohmSub Amps: (2) Skar Audio SK-2500.1Mids/Highs Amp: (2) Skar Audio LP-80.4 - powering mids/tweetersWire: (4) runs of 1/0 cable front to back, T SPEC V12 RCABatteries: (5) group 34 batteries - 1 up front, 4 in backC-pillar flat wallBuid Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174250-05-ford-escape-limited-skar-audio-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOSAutosport Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Started getting the box together a bit more today, were going to do 13 cubes, 160 sq in of port, and tuning at 29hz. Hoping it moves some air, still got some reinforcing to, building up some 45s for the corners which will be resined in as well as the entire box for better flow and strength as well as some bracing, most likely a threaded rod.Also got some more gear in todayThe 6 8s, 4 super tweeters and a few stickersThats about it for today, will have another update shortly Deck: Kenwood DNN990HDFront Stage: (6) 8" Skar Audio PAX-8 Pro Audio Speakers - 3 in each front door (4) 1" Skar Audio VX1-ST Bullet Tweeters - 2 in each front doorSubs: (4) 15" Skar Audio VVX-15v2 Dual 4s wired at 1 ohmSub Amps: (2) Skar Audio SK-2500.1Mids/Highs Amp: (2) Skar Audio LP-80.4 - powering mids/tweetersWire: (4) runs of 1/0 cable front to back, T SPEC V12 RCABatteries: (5) group 34 batteries - 1 up front, 4 in backC-pillar flat wallBuid Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174250-05-ford-escape-limited-skar-audio-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
