Cpillar Tahoe (2) DC 18s (2) DroppinHZ 5ks


Recommended Posts

Been a while since I have been on the forum so I thought I would throw together a quick build log for my 95 Tahoe.

As of now it consists of (2) Level 6 DC 18's on (2) DroppinHZ 5k Amplifiers in a 4th order. These photos are taken 2 days before MidwestSPL finals when I final got the box put into the truck. I Still have to add all the 45s in the corners, resin the box and add a lot of bracing but for doing the install by myself I am not one to complain of how it turned out. This is also my daily driver. So now onto the photos

the Subs next to my youngest son

the design I did was built as 2 separate boxes. One rectangle sealed box and one "L" shape ported box. Here a quick shot of the first time I used the Kerfing technique.

The 2 boxes joined (which was a pain in the ass to do by myself)

I am a mechanical designer and use AutoCAD to design all my boxes. Here is a quick video of a toy I borrowed from work to get the precise measurements for this latest box

On a side note both of my boys compete in the Powerwheel class and these are their vehicles that they drive all over the subdivision.

Grave digger has (2) SoundQubed 8's and the Firetruck has (2) DC 8's in a 4th order.

Really nice work! Do you have more pictures of how you assembled that and how you sealed off the sides at the c-pillar?
