WalledSonic Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 These vents in the trunk flap around annoyingly below 30Hz. BYE I think I'll mat the inside and out, but havent decided yet. I have a few dry days ahead of me so I can sleep on it.

When do you think you'll have it playing? Thanks for checking. Its been playing, but at low power. Once I mount the two braces and cut the 1"x2" rect channel, I need to have it welded up. Or take the plunge and buy a welder. I plan to start on the wood ceiling this weekend.

nkrell11 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Oh alright awesome keep it up man I like the nuts for the brace, I was just going to weld my brace to the windshield support might have to consider doing some nut inserts instead.

WalledSonic Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Man, if I was a skilled welder, I would just do that. I damn near put a drillbit thru the roof, so I dont plan to drill that beam anymore. Although, the tension/engagement of the bolts felt really nice. I can see this nutsert tool really coming in handy to mount equipment, panels, amp racks, etc so I do recommend owning one.

I think that it would just be easier to drill holes in whatever your attaching to the roof and then fill/spot weld each hole, that's just me though. Welding the edges would be doable but overhead welding isn't the most fun thing ever in general.

WalledSonic Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Scraped away some stock dampener directly beneath the port and installed some rivet nuts I plan on installing a bolt thru the floor, too. Planning the windshield pole... I think this turnbuckle is going to make things awesome. More to come soon. Pole comes up thru here And will be welded on this other bracket Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Tried kerfing freehand. Doesnt work out well at all. Straight, parallel cuts are absolutely necessary for a good steady bend. So instead I used the kerf trash to make a mockup of a wannabe circle Worked pretty well. I'll recut and get to work on these 8s soon. Trying to get everything done for Slam.

im45pl Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I am really liking the idea of that window bracing, I may have to look into something similar. Did you get that bent or was it pre bought? TEAM DC AUSTRALIA My_Build_Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalledSonic Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks for looking. I sketched up the ceiling bracket and floor bracket in CAD and had a vendor (that I know thru my job) fab it up. They used a press brake to bend the easy angles and then welded the tougher angles. Im going to the metal store today to grab some 1" x 2" hollow tube (1/8" wall) for the upper section of the pole. Once I get all the angles and lengths cut perfectly, I'll remove everything out of the car and have a welder zip it all up. Now I need to find a skilled local welder...
