"Shadow" 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK/4th Order/(4) 8's/DC 3.5K/Large Case Hairpin US Alts


Recommended Posts

I've been helping a buddy install a system in his 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK.  I finally have enough pics to start a build log, so I'll be loading all of them up over the next couple weeks.

The requirements were simple: he wanted (4) 8's or nothing at all.  Silly?  Maybe; but we met the requirements and hope to be banging before the end of the year :)

The stock sub (an 8x10) has 4 voice coils

Ran some numbers in TermLab at first, but then switched the design over to WinISD.  Came up with this size enclosure:

Went with PSI-8's with High Performance suspension for 600Wrms per sub

We were jammin some of that good techno

The original plan was to have a few tube ports, but I had a hunch that they were too small.  Thats about the time that Triticum came out with his port velocity calculator, and I realized the port velocities with these small ports would give me the tuning we were wanting, but also gave us almost 100 m/s port velocity (yikes!)

37626468081_d3a2471f09_k.jpg

Then the design changed to have a properly sized port attached to the back panel, bringing the velocities down to around 25-30 m/s

I didnt really trust my kerf skills yet

More pics coming tomorrow.  Thanks for looking!

Continuing on...

Here's how the back would fit

Made an insulated standoff for the sub leads inside the box

37577746696_33e34edc6f_k.jpg

Then we threw the subs on a power supply in the spare bedroom (aka the basslab haha)

36955551693_1a282a1b86_k.jpg

Got our hands on a PAC AmpPro for the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge with upgraded stock systems.  We could've went with a new head unit, but figured we'd go the stealth stock route first

Back to the box work.  Forstner bits are awesome.  Such clean cuts

Jigsaw action

Wait, whats going on there?  It seems the router is involved...

We're kinda obsessed with Dark Walnut stain

Gotta layer up the clear on top of that stain...

Cats outta the bag now... 1/2" polycarbonate (NOT acrylic, this is many times stronger)

Using E6000 to secure the sheet to the wood, but then using PL 3X and screws to sandwich the two boards together.

4/0 for all power and ground runs ?

Lets talk electrical.  The Jeep comes with a small case hairpin Denso alternator.

37593941212_cfc17970d8_k.jpg

So I went to the Jeep dealership, had them pull the stock alternator, and then I took the measurements I needed so I can custom fab an alt bracket for a large case hairpin Denso GM modular case alt.  Hole to hole spacing is 148mm

37593939332_9697d8c7f2_k.jpg

Hole diameter is 10mm

23773305018_013e3443e5_k.jpg

Ordered a 250A hot (280 peak) alt from @Bump4life at US Alternators!

Except this one has a Chrysler PCM connector :)

We already took measurements under the hood of the offset between the 2 alternators.  Alternator install coming very soon.
