Didn’t connect the baffles yet so I can connect braces to one of the baffles and the connect the baffles and then connect the double baffle and braces at the same time. Not the prettiest cuts. Jigsaw cuts, no sanding. Cut the cuts snug on the first cut. I was stoked about that because that’s what I was trying to do. I usually just intentionally cut the cut out smaller and sand fit them. But I didn’t want to do that on these heavy subwoofers and it was getting dark.

I customized an empty battery case on the front battery delete I’m doing.

I grounded my alternator better and cleaned up the wiring.

 

My build has been going slower than I expected because I don’t get off work except for sundays and I sleep in on sundays because during the week I don’t get any sleep because I work so much and have trouble sleeping too. I’m gonna say fugh it and work in the dark, like I use to.

Decided to get the same head unit i have already, because the one I use now has some kinks, like the CD player doesn’t work, it stops playing sometimes when songs change when I stream on YouTube only and then I have to reset the faceplate and then hit play, the remote wire doesn’t work because I made sparks one time checking impedance rise because I was being careless and it shorted the remote output on the head unit and fried my factory amp, so now I use the ignition wire as a remote wire. So yeah, it’s ghetto, but it works and sounds super good. I’ve been wanting to get the same head unit but couldn’t find one that I felt confident about buying until I seen this one.

Finally some moving forward pics! Keep going bro! That box looks great too! 

I’ve been slacking on posting pics but I’ve been moving forward pretty nicely even though I work so much. But you know how it goes on building big bass projects. It’s awesome and crappy at the same time. Lol. I’ve been revamping too. I’m getting a bass 15k instead of running an md 12000.1. I’ve switched a couple things. Like I’m running a dual bass knob now and then I took off the acrylic enamel paint off my battery case (which was not easy) and then I painted it the same color but with enamel paint so it withstands heat better and I’m not gonna use them copper battery terminals. I bought some aluminum ones from the same company, ToolmakerMetalworkz. Im doing the front battery delete and installing the LTOs tomorrow. Super excited. I’m thinking of getting a crescendo s4 instead of this ds800x4. Idk yet.
