Plus I have extra steel so why not weld some more stuff together. I probably have enough left over to weld up a nice fabrication table or something idk. 2 hours ago, Tribe Called Bass said: wow....just WOW.

nkrell11 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well flew home today got a couple odds and ends in the mail PAC-LC1 which I thought might be a good idea, Blue Seas bus bars for connecting my relays to that will turn everything on and my Blue Seas OLED volt meter. The volt meter is the most exciting they're way better than the stingers etc and pretty fast I'll post a link to the video. I'm getting to the point where I don't have much to buy (I need 2/0, a fire extinguisher, some fans, different sized alternator belt for whenever I get that part done, fiberglassing materials, some different rear springs to support the weight from the build and that's about it) Video credit to Jeff:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3uEcKTmaGo Current Build: 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Build (AKA Project Silent Night) Mechman, Neo Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkrell11 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Well between rain and social obligations I haven't exactly been an example of productivity. Anyhow small updates I guess I put my volt in what I think is an awesome spot. Took out the cigarette lighter and with a little dremmel work it fits like a glove looks good in my opinion. I really don't even mind the yellow like I thought I would. I also welded up the braces for the sealed side finally, amazon sent me this gem of a spool but it works alright. The braces are teal because they won't be visible and it was the first can I grabbed. The black pieces will actually be visible. Also got the piece cut and router to cover the seam in the roof, also all the kreg holes have been filled in with wood filler and sanded down. Tonight my girlfriend helped me a little bit and did some staining for me. She likes to stain/paint so I let her help to keep her interested plus a learning experience so it's good. The stain will be the same on the inside wanted to bring out the wood grain I think it will look good. Oh in an unrelated to audio note my new watch came in, other than audio I'm basically into guns and watches. This is an iconic Seiko I'm sure some of you may recognize.

nkrell11 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Well I'm glad you guys like the stain I almost went with paint on the inside after I didn't like the stain that I had originally bought to use. My audio friend pointed me in the direction of this stain. I had bought some of the Minwax water based stain tinted Crimson red but it didn't show the wood grain at all. So today I stained the inside it's not dry in the pictures. I also got the braces put in, I believe they will eliminate the last likely point where the enclosure could flex if it tried to. I have 6 cans of spray lacquer to go on the stain but my friend said I'll be likely to need more. One last thing about the stain it seems to be difficult to get a picture that shows it well as it all depends on how the light is hitting it. I also made a fuse holder for a local guy but I determined that after cost I won't be making any money on it lol. I also made another RCA box still have to solder it but it will be for sale. I think the random color scheme on it looks good. The whole menagerie together. Tomorrow I'm hoping to make the last fuse holder I need for myself, get some sound deadener in the doors, working on part one of sealing off the wall and making a brace for someone that's coming over for me to weld it.

nkrell11 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well yesterday not much was done really and today nothing got done. This is part of phase 1 for the whole sealing it off thing. The next part of this phase involves some spray foam which I really abhor. If you're thinking to yourself, "man Nick it looks like you have no idea what you're doing" you would be correct kind of made these up as I went along but they're definitely strong. Additionally a guy from a local audio team came over and he took his subs out of his 4th and I welded him a brace for his sealed side, it was tricky as his back wall is at a 50ish degree angle. He put the subs back in and I got a demo. Both sides aren't identical but they're each made with 2x4s, some 3/4 inch birch for the tight spots and PL Premium of course. I ran out of 2x4's so I didn't get to the bottom. I leave for work Monday so I'm not sure how much more will be getting done between now and then. Drivers side: Passenger Side: Starting to look like a wall overall, don't worry it won't be this ugly in the end (I hope): Current Build: 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Build (AKA Project Silent Night) Mechman, Neo Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
