What's going on, all?  

A month or so ago, I finished up one of my more fun projects for a friend/customer.  Here's a build component list:

1998 Ford Expedition

Mechman 270a 12v alt

2 JS 370a 16v alts

2 K2 16v 80ah banks

8 runs Sky High 1/0 OFC (4 pos, 4 neg)

3 DC Audio 5.0 amplifiers

6 Skar Audio EVL 15s

Crescendo 1100.4

DB Drive mids/tweets 

C-pillar wall built by yours truly

 

This thing was an absolute blast to put together.  It ended up putting up nice numbers for a c-pillar, especially with budget subs.  The wall was built for 6 Level 6 15s, and there will eventually be 6 5.0s.  

Pictures will be uploaded as soon as they finish uploading to photobucket!  There are many, many pictures, as well as a few vids.  Stay tuned!

1993 Suburban

6 Crossfire XT3 15s

Crossfire XS-16k

Crossfire mids & highs and amps

65ah Cmax bank

Iraggi 320a and Mechman 300a

The blank canvas. My bud was insistent on fitting 6 15s in a flat wall in this space. I was skeptical at first, but decided to build the shell as big as possible and go from there. You can see some of that Sky High goodness. 

I went ahead and cut the headliner and started PL'ing these double-stacked pieces to the roof between the braces. At this time, I also PL'd and screwed a floor down.

Here it is drying.

Starting to get an idea of the shape of this thing.

Another layer on the roof to tie those pieces in together. All voids were spray foamed as this build progressed.

Getting the shape of the shell finalized.

And a little bit of reinforcement.

2x4s, PL and foam for days.

Trimmed down some foam.

Here's the first layer of the back.

 

More pictures to follow!

This was a fun cut for the top corner of the back of the enclosure.6EXmONj.jpg

Here's when the shell really started to take shape.  It was already 100% sealed off at this point.

Mmmmm, lithium.

Final box specs ended up being 21.5 ft^3 net at 28hz with a little over 300 square inches of port.

Mostly wired up, albeit not cleaned up yet; 1100.4 on the doors.

Got to do some brief testing before the owner took it home :(

I would have gotten some low lows numbers if I had the time.  It crushed everything 20hz-60hz.  

I'll upload some videos to youtube and embed links.  Thanks for reading!

1/4 power, just turning it on for the first time.

First hairtrick, still 1/4 power.

Closer to half power:

That 25hz door jelly (still half power):

Aaaaand finally, the full juice.  All 3 5ks wired to .5 each.

jeez man, 3 - 5k's at 0.5 each is massive power.  What does voltage do with the lithiums?  Maybe I missed it but is the owner happy as fuuuu...or what?
