nkrell11 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Ok so I guess it's been too long since I've updated this. Anyhow state finals was this last weekend and I didn't make it lol, surprise surprise. So lets see I got my alts back from mechman really fast it was like two days and they were on their way back I think it was $280 for repairs. I had the bracket sand blasted as the paint looked like crap so I think it looks better now at least in my opinion. I also built out the bottom of the wall and sealed it off with loctite foam. Cut the vent out of the floor that takes heat to the rear to cut down from the bulge caused by wiring and trimmed the carped to fit. Wired up almost every amp I just need like 10 feet of Red Electron Beam 2/0 to finish, somehow I have plenty of black left but no red. To be honest I think my wiring looks pretty good considering 2/0 isn't the worlds most flexible stuff. So making wooden trim panels has never been my strong suit but luckily it's just for looks not for sealing. Started on trim fiberglass beauty panels, last Saturday I got resin in my eye so I haven't done anything since then today was the first day I could actually see well enough to go back to work so from now on WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. So basically I need to finish the trim panels, do door panels which is going to suck, a little more wiring and tune some amps and that will be it I think. Thinking about putting in for time off for Ruckus and Chill would just have to find a trailer to tow the Jeep as it's about a 14 hour drive. Thanks to anyone that's still following this.

nkrell11 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Lets see here I put on a sticker, not really a huge fan of sticker bombing the outside of vehicles not sure if I'll use more on the insides like the one I used or not. Welded on some bolts for frame grounds as there wasn't any good ones. Attached wires to said bolts to do the big 3 or whatever. I also made a good amount of progress on my door panels I think they will remain top secret until they're done. Surprises make it better anyways right?

nkrell11 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Alright so I've been slacking on the updates a little bit. Aside from working on my doors I've been modifying my ash tray to hold my voice coil temp sensor display. Getting sick of fiberglass to be honest but you gotta do it. A little filler and some sanding and this thing will be ready for paint. Also I think I said my build wouldn't be pretty or have any lights but I guess I lied, I wanted to show off the sex inside my enclosure. I didn't want to do LED strips so I got cubes. It was only $13 for the pair and if the first one fails I have a spare I had to modify the bracket and the Allen wrench to get the cube to mount in my application but at least I got it in there. I tried pointing it at the back of the box first and I wasn't happy with the output so I re aimed it at a 45 degree angle or so. Overall I'm happy with the output. If you don't like the light that's fine, I think it looks better in person for the record. Stay tuned for door updates, I hope to have them done by the weekend.

nkrell11 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Well I'm still working on the doors I can only do so much sanding before I get sick of it, I did get my VC1 holder done I think it turned out great. Tried to capture a picture of it lit up but it was so bright or something my phone wouldn't pick up the numbers. I also did some more sanding and finished the beauty panels they will look better installed but they're done.

nkrell11 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Alright so my door panels are installed and everything in them is wired up. Overall I'm happy with how the doors came out for this being a first try at ever making any. I'll try and explain the pictures as well as I can. First I made the panel to hold everything and cut out all the holes, which was a tight fit. Then I made a trim ring and used a 30 degree chamfer to get a nice edge. Wrapped panels in fabric, lots of staples later. Fiberglass and resin naturally.

nkrell11 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 After everything was good and hard it was time for filler and sanding...lots of sanding. After all that it was time to prime/paint/bedliner. Afterwards I cut out the backs using a jigsaw and a cutoff wheel. Made some grills using the insides of my cutouts, they'd have turned out better if the metal hadn't got all bent/dented in shipping but it is what it is. I basically just used tinsnips and my hands to make them. Oh also I switched my choice of midshipmen's, I ditched the PWX 8's and went with some Eminence Neo 8's that Quentin at DSS was selling. Definitely saved me a lot of weight per door. Hoping they sound great.
