My wife likes mine, but won't let me set her up until she has a new car, and she's not allowed to do that until her student loans are done SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I think my wife will be middle of the road with her system. She would sit in the lancer but didnt like full tilt for very long. I know she loves music and likes it a bit on the loud side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I got the enclosure wired up this evening & sub in. Decals on. Turned out ok. Wife's diggin it. We went on a road trip to the drag races and she noticed a difference with the 6x9s in. Little more Bass from the rear. Boy is she in for a surprise when everything is in and tuned. Not the best lighting. Last time i do a White box. lol Layout as of now. I will raise the LC7 by 3/4" for RCA's to run under it for cleaner look. Sad this is i dont have way to test the box out. Her car has no wires run yet and the Lancer is down for the rebuild. I guess once it all in thats when i will get it tested out. I just happy as shit i am making some progress.

Guest Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 What paint or technique do you use to get that sick glossy look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 What paint or technique do you use to get that sick glossy look? GM color match spray cans. About 6 coats, wet sanded, then 3 coats of clear. I could have wet sanded and buffed the clear but i though it looked good enough. Its not a show car. I have very little $ into this build. MDF, Paint, 4 gauge amp kit, speaker wiring adapter's, sound deadener and a few other misc stuff. Everything else is extra equipment me or my son had on hand. So like $250 so far, time into build 60 hrs, with that much left to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I got the box in the wifes car with trunk panels reinstalled again and it was a super tight fit to say the least. Damaged box some with dings and scratches so that bummed me out. At one point i had to walk away before i got really mad. But.... Its in and not coming back out! Every! lol Looks kinda like i envisioned it. And a blank canvas to mount the amps & LC7 to. I also made the 3/4" spacers for the LC7 today. Cut, primed & painted. Waiting for them to dry to attach them. More work next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
