Since I've only ever ran SQ 4 channels before, I got some local deals on 2x Nendo 1100.4s, was thinking 1 for my mids and 1 for my tweeters + adding my pillars back.

I haven't added the pillars yet (waiting for a warm day so I can paint them to match my interior, finally), but dayyuuum this 1100.4 is insane!

I also bought 2x Nendo BC2ks to run, but one of them is blown (was advertised as working, still sorting it out).

The wire mess is temporary, because within the next week I'll have some bigger updates...

But these doors are ridiculously loud on the new power! These videos don't do them any justice.

Got a little foreshadowing of what might be to come...

looks like I might have to remove [small build] from my title soon!

Finally got a 50 degree day in Michigan, so we set to it!

Entire process took probably 1.5 hours

Went from 36.5" from the ground to the fender flare, to 38" in the rear, @ 35 PSI. Should have a good bit of room to support a system now..

It looks like I'll be exiting the realm of having a small build.

I'm finally going to attempt the 4 18, no wall dream.

I threw this little box concept together:

49" wide x 40" deep x 26" tall

21ish cubes net, tuned @ 35hz, 350 square inches of port.

Picked up 4 SounDrive SDA3 18s super cheap from the one and only Jonathan Patrick, of CES.

Also got 3 TS 3.5k v2s from our very own @loud360durango

I bought 3 since I was originally going to attempt 3 C418s, but the deal on the SDA's came up and I had to take it.

Should be going tomorrow to pay my box builder to start working. Since it's like 10 degrees out I really don't want to do the job myself, plus his craftsmanship is much better, and it'll be getting stained.

Currently deciding if two TS 3.5ks @ 1 ohm each will be enough, or if I should jump on an Ampere 7500 to run @ 0.5

Got a couple more pieces to the puzzle

First time using Ampere anything, so I'm hoping it works out. I'm going to try it @ 0.5 first before I try two TS 3.5ks @ 1 ohm each if I do.

It just hurts me to own Korean amps and run them higher than 0.5.

Then my builder sent a few teaser pictures of my box before it gets stained!

I ordered some PSI dust caps for the subs since I'm not too fond of the SounDrive logo.

Should hopefully be up and playing by next weekend, atleast on low power.

Damn that's a lot of amps haha. Man those 4 18s should get down. I love how you are constantly changing things. 

lol I hate how I'm always switching stuff up!

I'm already planning my next build being a single C412 in a center console box.

anyways pics of the finished box are in!

and after what seems like forever we managed to find some captain's seats at the local scrapyard

$60 - what a steal! they sell for about $200/set all over Craigslist and Facebook

gotta have these seats so I can store batteries and amps inbetween the seats, since my box will take up the entire cargo area

next week is Spring Break, so I should actually get to rewire everything and whatnot

Talk about extremely close call too!

I've never really liked the look of the SounDrive dust caps, so I got some beautiful PSI ones to put on?

The temperatures are finally starting to warm up, and it looks like mid 60s and sunny on Tuesday, so hopefully I'll get some considerable work done soon!
