Around this time, I bought a welder and learned to weld so that I could build a stripper pole to stop the windshield from flexing Had it powdercoated by some cool guys at Advanced Powdercoat in Houston Thats my daily driver right there! Is this legal, lol? I got a warning once for having an air freshener hang from the mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFred Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I love this build, some awesome craft work in here!? Since I don't recall from the last thread, have you metered this setup yet? And how did you get those impedance graphs on the first page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some more serious progress will be made this weekend. Metering is of little importance to me. Sonic hasnt had an SPL measurement. I used an IM-SG for the impedance plot. That measurement is way more important to me because its indicative of how well the system is playing across the frequency spectrum.

WalledSonic Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Removed the torsion bar that helps lift the trunk. Gonna install struts soon. Added a splitter at the back of the port. I kept it small so that I dont lengthen the port. Hopefully this helps with efficiency a bit. I'll do an impedance plot to see if it helps at all. Then I went balls deep on prep work. Needed to smooth out the interior since you'll be able to see inside it now and needed to remove the 'honey' colored stain on the face. Made some 'wings' to seal the wall off. Passenger side 'wing' Driver side 'wing' Still have a lot to do, but its coming along This is the visible region in the box: Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Also removed the cables that run from the front battery to the rear battery bank. Homeboy Juan at 12V Metalworks is whipping up some nice fuse blocks for me. Got a layer of paint on the inside. One more layer tomorrow and then I'll be done with the inside! Also got a thumb scroll bass knob from SPL Cartel. Thanks for the recommendation @Mr DeeBeez!
