Minimized leaks for testing

Finally time to test

Much port

Much box

Can still reach the vitals

ENCLOSURE IS EVERYTHING.

Wow. A VERY noticeable increase in output.  The forward facing port doesnt rattle the trunk as much too, so it sounds a lot better all around.

Tuned to 34Hz.  So very happy with the output now.  Soon we'll get the impedance curve to see how it changed with the box and port increase.

 

Took it back apart all ready.  Time to glue a couple pieces and make it look nice.

Something like 90 screws to install this add-on

Here's the gauge pod with the 4th coat of clear, as promised:

Gonna pull the main box and amp rack very soon for final coats on those pieces.  Then final assembly.

I've said it before, we're kinda obsessed with Dark Walnut stain

Need to pull the amp rack and main box for stain now.  Should be done before Texas Heatwave in Austin.

We tried getting it finished by Heatwave but we dont want to cut any corners.  I'll update with our progress later today hopefully.

I dont think theres a pic of the vehicle in this BL.  Here's Shadow.

We rounded the back of the sub holes, but you really gotta massage all those dBs outta the box.  The spots left undone are where the sub screws are located.

Showing the afterthought add-on.  This pic really shows off how much more volume and port we were able to add.

Fuse and distro block

Amp rack and box

Strut action

43517463001_482085f366_k.jpg

Here's me sitting on the box with the struts not even budging.  They were too strong lol.  We've since got some 80lb struts instead of these 100lb versions.

Finally got the amp rack back in the jeep!

Trimming the stock plastic and carpet where needed

43517458781_5f86de7067_k.jpg

29646266398_8686cbfcd2_k.jpg

Mounting the bass knob using press nuts.  Right into the plastic, no problem

41709240450_06257895c6_k.jpg

This is what happens when the can of clear goes bad (i guess the lid wasnt on tight or something).  This lost us 2 days of time on the rebuild, so we decided not to rush it for Heat Wave.  We were able to scrape it off with razor blades and a lot of sanding.

More to come soon, I need to upload my pics off my phone.
