kingsuv Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I was asked to collaborate on this project with Scott, owner of Audio Intensity. He wanted me to add my flair on this build as it would be a different direction than his style. As some of you might know, this G35 was once Scott Buwalda's ride. This car came with a ton of pedigree so it was real important I didn't screw this up My part on this build was just the trunk. Placement of the amps and processor and overall layout. The sub box was already completed and in place when the car arrived. The finish colors, wrap and final assembly was done by Scott as well as Vince and the crew at Audio Experts. 1st order of business is paint protection. Other than my own personal cars, this ones gear choice is about the most money wise I've handled. Box duties were already handled before the car got here. 16 - 8's ISO mounted. Needed to work on making the box true and square in the car. Anyone who has worked on a few cars will know that NO CAR is perfectly square and true. Amp layout took a bit. do I want them all flat? or 2 dipped into the wheel well? Wheel well was the choice, but of course the hole isnt centered . Straight box tube from side to side for the back 2. Took a bit to find a depth that worked that would allow enough room on the lower ends for connections and not stick up on the outer ends. Traced the amp rack to some 1/4 and cut out what I didnt need. Not much of an opening, but its a little detail to add depth to the build. Amps are all mounted with threaded inserts Wrapped up and added a little bit of Al to match the center of the ARC amps. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Couple clean connections made at the battery. Next is to make a bridge between the amps. Simple in design. Pain in the ass to actually make. First part is to make an exact copy of the end of the amp. Took some trickery with a few router bits. And to be honest, working a bit on a 1/4 thick rib of wood sucks. Add in a little bit of fuckery and we have a cap that covers the connections without hitting any part of the amp. Maxx getting in on the work. I shaved out a little in the center to match the middle of the amps. Next part is to figure out where to put the PS8. I wanted it to be clearly seen, but not be the focal point and take over on the whole build. Now to be honest, I really didn't have a direction yet. The amp rack layout was easy. Wasn't too many different ways I could mount them. I started out boxing out the processor. After making a few different sizes of rectangles I decided to get creative. Little bit of this and that. All the layers snap together with magnets. Once I had enough squares to make a little something, it was time I toned down all the hard edges. Little of this and that. Couple of clamps Sometimes you need to buy some badass bits to make the shapes ya want. Stack a couple layers of Acrylic Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

kingsuv Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Now to see where Scott made everything right. Wrapping a project is tough enough, Wrapping one you didnt build? Takes a baddass mofo. trust me. Shit happens when you build. When you think you have built everything to be wrapped correctly, shit comes up. For him to see what I built and come in with the colors and textures like he did takes a true pro. if i finished this one off, it would have been 10 different versions of black Color of the car was changed to green. the amps were color matched. Little bit of color accents the PS8 Changed the cover of the PS8 to match the accent on the amps. Simple accent lighting. I had built the sides and the underside of the trunk lid for carpet. Little bit of filler to close up the gaps. Guys did a killer job on these grilles. They had the easy part hahahahahahaha Can't bitch about 16 - 8's Shes on the floor at CES right now in the IASCA / Hybrid booth 900 Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

aculous Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 amazing work as usual. Surprised that you guys went with green, love that color. EDIT: Lol nvm, I was thinking they were just doing some work to the fenders not repainting the whole damn car. Its hard being dumb sometimes. Car looks amazing, sooooo much better then silver. I am not a import guy by any means but the G35s are nice. Also the Hybrid boxes on the floor, urgh...fucking ridiculous. SO jealous. ARC and Hybrid are a hard combo to beat.
