Aussie Lexus 4 x 18s walled, big power, 12 batts, custom trim, custom doors, fresh PSI recones, quiet

what are the rough sizes of your baffle? cant decided on 4 15s or 4 18s walled in my suv

You know what? I don't even know the sizes off the top of my head, I can't get to the car until next week now so I can't really help sorry man.

4x18s should be easy in a USA SUV, providing you've got the height to stack the woofers vertical and not have to stagger them like I did. The sunroof really hurt me here.

Depends on the orientation I guess, if you want port middle, driver's side... etc.

well i have to build the box outside of the vehicle and slide it in to the back its my daily driver and im not quite ready to build inside the vehicle. so ill have to stick with 4 15s

As promised, I said I would make it look tidier.

Here is the baffle trimmed up and ready to fit.

This is how I installed the baffle, steel angle, 3mm thick, all the way around the box. Screws driven deep into the shell and also high strength construction adhesive.

Remember the troublesome transmission tunnel.. It gets completely glassed over. I will show you how it ended up soon.

Here is the baffle first installed into the car,it's still rough.. you can see the high gloss black paint I have started coating the inside of the box with. It's winter in Australia... it's damn cold, it takes a long time for the shit to dry!

You can also see the foam around the trans tunnel just to make things 100% air tight...it'll be trimmed back soon

I placed some subs in, just for fun. The bottom sub is just sitting in place, hence the angle.

The thing started copping some high build (The powder blue), to make things look neater. The baffle will eventually be trimmed in nice material anyway.

Damn dude you do sick work! Keep it up! Will be watching this one, so much win here! Cant wait to see how it all comes out!

Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are!

I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

badass so far man! I'm in love with your build. This was my exact idea about up until just recently when i decided to save my cash and go another route. I measured out a older 94 at the junkyard and got discouraged when I realized how tight a fit 4 18's was gonna be on the baffle. IIRC theres like barely over 37 inches from the rear seat wells up to the roof.

But this build is pretty much what I had in my head, but in real life. Definitely tuned in for this one.

Thanks guys, couple of sneaky pics before bed.

Here is the surface finish inside the box... Remember the trans tunnel?

And the corners that were all glassed up
