Tuned in. Looks good man, any idea on what fq you are going to run?

I had RAM Designs design the enclosure. It is 2 cubic feet tuned to 33hz.

Not sure if yours will do the same but just as a heads up you may run into the same issue I did with trying to pull a signal whilst keeping the factory HU. It's not just a tap into the wire and be good. The HU needs to see a 4 ohm signal to output a signal for the processor to see. Let me know if you run into this problem and I can walk you through.

Are you talking about the Dodge Dart Factor HU or any Factory HU in general? I installed a 3sixty.2 in a friends 2007 Toyota 4runner on his factory HU and it worked flawlessly and still is to this day. I plan on tapping into the front left and front right channels on the HU and running them to the High Level inputs on the 3sixty.3. Which I was assuming would auto sense the signal from the inputs. Is this now different with the 3sixty.3? Thanks for the heads up.

The Dodge factory HU in general and I am going to assume this applies to all of Chrysler group. When I unplugged the speakers the HU stopped sending a signal and I had a .3 in my Charger in the beginning still no signal had to use some resistors to fool the radio. It has to see 4 4 ohm speakers to send a signal.

Well today I started my first attempt ever at fiberglass kick panel. Here are the first pics. I am going to let them harden in the car over night. Tomorrow I will set the baffles and and stretch the fleece.

Yeah I cant wait to hear just the one I have. Hopefully start building the box on Sunday. I have all the wires run in the car just gotta figure out an amp rack. Such a small trunk so much to put in it. Its a daily driver so I need to keep some functionality of the trunk if at all possible.

Well got some more done on the kick panels. As soon as I got started my buddy called and let me know that he was ready to start on my sub box, go figure.

Sorry for some of the blurry pics. I did get the fleece pulled over the kicks and resin on but didn't get a chance to take any pics. Will post when I get them taken.

Then we started on the Sub Enclosure.

We got all the pieces cut for the enclosure. We started to assemble the box when we decided to get the holes drilled to hold the sub in. Was planning on using threaded inserts to hold the sub in but they are no good when using MDF. The MDF just lifts and tares apart when screwing in the threaded insert. Had to re-cut the front piece so that is where we had to stop for the day. Probably won't get to do any thing until next weekend.

Thanks for looking

Was planning on upgrading my alternator. Emailed Mike at Singer Alternators and he informed me that they can not do anything for my car at this time and to contact them in the future to see if any thing changes. This Kinda sucks. The system total max is about 1600 watts. I'm am just worried that this will put to much of a strain on the rest of my electrical system. I am running 1/0 SHCA OFC to the trunk and going to do the big 3 with the same wire. Just hope this is enough or that Mike comes up with something.

Well made some adjustments to my build. Was going to use the American Bass MX-444T tweeter. But those bad boys are way to big for my factory dash location. Ended up getting a pair of American Bass SQ-T10. These fit perfectly in factory dash location.

Was going to run 2 SQ-375 for 6 channels of amplification for the active 3 way system and leave 2 channels unused. But decided to use a SQ-500 on my VFL-525MR.

This past weekend we go all the speakers hooked up and finished all the wiring that needed done. Still waiting on my sub box and trying to figure out what I am going to do about an amp rack. Will either be mounting amps to the back of the back seat or making an amp rack to fit the passenger side of the trunk from the back seat to the trunk lid.

I got my kick panels completed. This was my first set but still not happy with them. I have them installed but I will be re-doing them soon. I tried to do vinyl and that did not go over so well. So I ended up just Plastidip them black and I just do not like the way they look.

Any way here are a couple photos of the passenger side doors.
