Build Log - Saturn SC2 PSI 15 Sealed Off Trunk


Recommended Posts

Update time, finally got an amp so now I can tune my box and glue the damn thing together in my trunk. AQ2200D. It's a little beat up in terms of visually, I'd give it a 6/10 but that is just cosmetic so I could honestly care less.

PICS

AND most importantly the gain knob I will use to set gains. I read that these things clip light is dead on with a DD-1 so that saves me the trouble of using my schools O-scope

Sorry for the slow progress, money has been tough because my manager has been jipping me on hours, but these next couple weeks are stacked so I should have funds for lots of goodies :domodance:

Hey lot's of progress. Box is done and ready for primering and painting. The box is going to be glossy black with the port in hot glossy pink. The whole theme is black and pink, except the dustcap and my headliner are soon to be carbon fiber.

I also got lots of stuff from skyhighcaraudio, ordered through droppinhzcaraudio. Droppinhz get's a fantastic review for FREE PRIORITY INSURED shipping and excellent support with fast responses. I have another order coming from straight from SHCA because I wanted a SHCA decal, lanyard and a custom order of their remote turn on wire, plus 10 1/0 lugs and heat shrink, should be here by tomorrow.

The collection grows

Forgot my 3$ chinese voltmeter, its +-.5% accuracy and has <200ms reacting time so I think it should be a great buy.

Looks awesome. Love the color scheme. My wall should have some pink in it when I'm done.

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

I figured if I was gonna spend money on things, I might have some fun with colors right?

Updatteeeee

Started painting with glossy black spray paint. F*** that, I tried for the life of me to get a good finish on a few pieces but all I got was streakiness. I gave up on spray paint. Her'es a pic of the horror.

The pink for the port went much better, it took alot of layers but looks great and will look even better with some clear coat.

I ended up buying a can of glossy black after sanding the peices smooth. The paint was honestly too thick and didn't properly "smooth out" so the bursh strokes are visible but its still a cool finish. I took some magic tape work to get the port.
