Steve, anything new on the tercel, or are you waiting on amps, batteries, ect.

[sayhuh?]

Damn these builds. I keep checking back daily for progress, then as I do, I keep thinking about another big build.

i have been working. Just nothing exciting to post yet. This is not going to be a fast project. You will know when there is anything new because i usually post pics. Thanks!

First thing i had to do was find the old B-Pillar Plastic and re-install it. I plan on attaching the box to this to finish off my air-tight seal and make it look better as well. Before anyone asks, this thing passes the string test by 3/8" or more (with subs in place).

The plastic back in place

More fiberglass. The box has at least 2 layers, in some spots 3 of 19oz mat.

I used standard glass for most of the inside of the box due to not having good sunlight able to reach the depths of the "cave". For smaller area's, i used SunFlash so i could see how good my UV light works. It works GREAT! Only problem is, you have to move the light around. I could def initely use a bigger light or more of these. For kick panels or small area's, its awesome though!

This right here is the reason i like SMD Sunflash better then standard resin. I will be using this cup and brush for months. You can see how many i used just to do the inside with the normal stuff.

Using an empty basket to predrill my holes.

These screws are the best! I been using them for years.

Drilling holes for the wires. There are 16 8ga wires that need to go to the trunk.

Time to put these beasts in. At about 80lbs each, i am in for a workout!

Now i did do some INITIAL testing - only because i couldn't wait! This thing will have 2 DC Audio 9.0k subs @ 18v. Right now, due to having SO MANY 8ga wires to ghetto-twist together just to hear sound, i decided to try just 2 subs. I hooked them up to a CT Sounds 1400d that was on the bench. So give or take, 700 watts each, on 2 of 4 15's.

Yes, only 2 subs working. Watch the video to see how it did. I am not sure when i will have more progress but you know i will update you if i have some! thanks for watching!

What are those screws? Like if I went into Lowe's, what would I ask for?

Enjoying this build. Def getting ideas for when/if I ever get back into this hobby.

Sweet! Lowes was just an example, but Im always looking for good screws that hold up to heavy subs on a vertical surface. How can I get them?
