wabbit87 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 so I have a 2011 Nissan Versa and had a single vvx10 in a box I made and it just wasn't enough. I work at a lumber yard and I get wood at cost my previous build was mdf but recently we got in some 3/4 Birch and they sold it to me for $33 a sheet so I got 2 sheets and started planning. I knew I wanted a good budget amp so the CAB 1600.1 was on my radar for a while ever since Steve and big D did the dynos and started planing around it started with a Big 3 under the hood with 0 AWG welding cable. Since my car is so small I was worried about running 0awg to the trunk so I bought some Xscorpion flat 1/0 25 feet $70 had plenty of welding cable left over since I ordered 14ft 50/50 red/black. As soon as I got started pulling up carpet I noticed a groove down the driver's side of the car where the factory harness runs to the rear and ? there was plenty of room and could have saved cash on the different wire but what can I say I have it so I used it. I managed to get the work done in 3 days after work while waiting for the other 2 drivers to arrive and once they did I started cutting the birch to size and began putting the box together I used gorilla wood glue and lots of it but wasn't satisfied so I broke out the silicone and caulk gun and ran a bead on the inside and across all the outside seems ?. Of course, I changed change my mind in the middle of the build to a taller box and a lower tune and ditch the aero port idea because I didn't want to have to wait for them to come in, so I ran to Lowes and bought some 4" drain pipe cut them to 10" for a 30hz tune cut the holes slightly smaller and used a hammer and a piece of wood to beat the ports in. OH yeah, in the end, the box would not fit through the trunk of the car.... the 2011 Nissan Versa S back seats do not fold down and are bolted in so yeah complete rear seat removal is necessary to get the box in and out of the car So here it is 3 vvx10v2 in a 5.25cf common chamber tuned to 30hz build with bare minimum tools Edit: they are wired in series/parallel 1.3ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabbit87 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I still have a lot of work to do the box is in for testing it will be pulled out for carpet or bed liner haven't decided yet but it has also it has created more issues that need to get fixed....more rattles, factory alt, factory bat, bass overpowering music but I have coax 6.5 for rear speakers and 6.5 component front incoming along with a Polk audio 4ch whenever I decide to change the factory radio out I kind of like the factory look and anyone that gets in all they notice is the voltmeter till the bass drops ill get more pictures and try to get a video of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
