IH8PunkRok Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Been a while since I posted any kind of build so I'll update on what I've been doing this past year. I decided to compete in MECA with my team Bangin on a Budget. I chose to go into Modified 2 which gives me a cap of 2000 clamped power + cone area. Went with 2 RE MT 18s for subs and 2 Ampere 3800.1s for power wired to 0.35 ohm each. 2 18s is 509 inches of cone area which left me with 1491 watts I could clamp. I like the challenge of efficiency and this seemed like a fun class. Also this is in a 2005 Dodge Magnum At finals I posted my highest score of a 152.49 @ 29 hz clamping 1380 watts Which won me this Also my team cleaned up 5 world champions Myself in M2, Kenneth in Street 4, Randall in Mod Street 3 and Park n Pound 5, Brandon in Mod Street 1 In the excitement of our victory I made a purchase in the form of a 19something dodge colt extreme car This will be an experiment for me. Learning how extreme cars work and how to manipulate acoustics to my advantage. It will be a long journey and that is ok. The end goal is to hit at least a 170 in this thing. The original builder had the basic concept of an extreme car but so many dbs were left on the table and that is what I aim to correct. Onto some pictures then a lot of this has already been torn out and more will be torn out in time to be replaced with better things. first order of business in the floor -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8PunkRok Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 The majority of what I am doing is teardown just so I can see how much needs to be redone before I can build. Unfortunately I think I will be keeping the shell of the box but I believe I can make it pretty loud as is. It isn't bad by any means just not what I would have done. So a couple problem areas I need to address. First, the steering column protrudes more than I would like, second the shifter and e brake are entirely too large, and there are miscellaneous holes, gaps, and rough edges to be worked out. yes there will be a center console and yes I could hide these in there with a removable panel blah blah whatever. The less removable things I have the better. So they go away. Next is this little fucker Dash is decently solid behind the panels though. +1 Then there is this and these and all of this that needs to be done with the word "smooth" in mind But I got some things out all the shit around the wheel is gone, shifter out, e brake gone. Tested a theory with the shifter. Left forward, right back is first gear and opposite is reverse. works pretty well actually. E brake I will relocate to the rear. Now to start pulling up this floor to replace with concrete. Also I am building this to Db Drag specifications because MECA doesn't give a damn about extreme cars and USACI is meh. -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH8PunkRok Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Bought a hammer and pry bar. Got to work tearing up the floor Word to the wise, nothing sticks to concrete. Not even the almighty PL Here you can see how much I want to build up the floor. I want it even with the port opening which happens to be about 6" So build a couple quick retainers for the openings up front And now we are almost ready for concrete. Still working on how to make a retainer for the door area as it will come about 3-4" above the lip of the door. Used quickretes calculator for how much concrete I'll need and it looks like 16 60lb bags That's a lot of weight lol Gotta admit it seems like a lot more than I'll need but I'm no expert on concrete. -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
