Worked on the amp rack too.  Found some stickybacked felt at the fabric store

Screwed the amp down from the back of the rack

I cant wait to get the windshield brace done so I can get this 6k back in!

Nice build, I'd love to get a demo next time I'm in Houston and you have it finished.

Sure thing man.  Windshield brace coming soon, then reinstalling the 6k, then getting those 8s in the doors with new tweeters.  Then it will be demo worthy!  Thanks for checking it out.

Been a while since I've updated the build log.  Had a vacation last week and now I'm waiting on the welder to get my pole welded in.  The guy is a bit flaky but does legitimate work.  He told me to come by this weekend, so we'll see how that goes.

Right now, I have a 1500W amp in since the 6K will royally fuck my shit up.  The pinch welds at the windshield are all broken (as previously mentioned).  The brace on the windshield helps reduce flex a bit, but I need that pole in ASAP.  Here's what the pinch seam sounds like as its flapping around (its hard to hold the phone sideways while driving, so deal with it) :

Very nice build for sure bro, what was that walls dimensions that you premade to stick inside and any other specs would be much appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out. 

The box is:

Volume: 12.5cu ft

Port area: 5"W x 27.75"H (5.5:1, a little high)

Port length: 21.5"

Tuned at 33-34Hz 

Although, I would build a box that fits your car specifically, especially if you have an explorer. I wish mine was tuned to 30Hz with a better port ratio and 14-15cu ft total. That would play a little lower and louder than i currently am. Oh well, maybe next build. For now, I'm focused on maximizing this little daily rig of mine. 

 

I dropped off my windshield brace parts with the welder on saturday. I talked with him for over an hour, he seems pretty competent. Hopefully i'll have good news in a week or so.

That amp rack looks awesome! I'm getting some ideas for my build. If I ever get time to work on it. lol

You always seem to have good advice, post a build log man, i'd like to see it!
