Cardboardcat15 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'm back with a new build after YEARS of going almost bassless. Been looking forward to this for a while now, and finally got around to getting the gear together to do it. Still not completely done, as I still need an alt, more batteries and of course a proper amp to power these things. Otherwise, box is done and am currently fiddling with ports. Also, I'm a shit box builder, so PL and fiberglass is my friend (as you'll see). Here's hoping my handywork can hold up over time. Also, how the fuck did I have such nice detailed build logs back in the day? Christ I took pictures of everything. Now I start building and don't wanna be bothered to even check my phone let alone take fucking pictures. Anyway, here's what I've got. Vehicle: 2014 Scion TC Woofers: (3) Fi SP4v2 15's, dual 2 Enclosure: 4th order, 24 cubes (5.5 sealed, 14.2 ported) removable ports (46hz/52hz) Current Amp: CT Sounds 600.2 @ 3ohms bridged Wire: SHCA OFC 2/0 (Big 3 & 2 Positive runs), SHCA OFC 1/0 (3 Ground runs) HU: Kenwood double din (forgot model number lol) probably other shit I forgot to list Started the shell frame False Floor Totally regret not knowing/researching what a pocket jig was. Looking back, this split floor DEFINITELY needed some pocket holes to help compress during the adhesive drying stage. You'll see that, shortly after this, I learned about them and bought one. Had to split the false floor to maximize cabin space. rear chamber sides and back wall in roof drying roof in. This shit was HARD to get in by myself. front chamber roof in corners all closed off. Couldn't find the angles cause they were all off in every direction, so just PL'ed the fuck out of the corners and hoped for the best. Prepping rear chamber for baffle mounts/bracing test fitting the baff- uhhh oops Cutting the triple stack baffle holes. This circle jig is the SHIT! against better judgement but out of necessity, had to split the baffle. measure twice cut once. non mounting baffle was reduced to double layer to increase ported chamber airspace. All corner joints glassed nicely. Test fitting went great. split baffle completely assembled and PL'ed in place. Loading wall test fit and glued in place. Port #1 (52hz) Port #2 (46hz) Box face carpeted to hide my shitty workmanship :^) Also hit the inside of the box with kilz primer and Harbor freight roll on Truck bed coating. Disclaimer: you NEED a respirator if you're gonna use the harbor freight truck bed shit in an enclosed area like the inside of a box. Those fumes will knock out an elephant. started my redo on the door panels. shout out to HVCA for putting out awesome door panel build logs and showing me the proper way to get a base for door pods. door pods were formed to the door panel shape, the shaved down to size and will be attached to the panel via bolts/washers/nuts. and thats all the pictures I've got thus far. Got a show this sunday, so I'm trying to get as much done as I can. I'll snap some pictures of the amp installed and other wire run shit tomorrow. My Channel on YouTube.

Cardboardcat15 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Some more pictures of where it currently sits now. Gonna shoot for getting the door panels at least partially done by tomorrow. The 2 channel I'm currently running for now cause of budgets n things you know Stock electrical minus the wiring 46hz port. I *attempted* to color match the wire i bought and didnt bring it with me to home depot, so obviously i fucked up but who cares. Can always repaint later. bitches is mounted. that rear woofer is a fucking NIGHTMARE to get in. My Channel on YouTube.

Cardboardcat15 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Shit, just realized I still havent updated this thread yet lmao. Gonna snag some more pictures tomorrow of where we're sitting currently. For now, here's a small diagram of how I'll wire up my most recent purchase. Bought a Limitless 15ah Lithium. Gonna run one for now, but more than likely will run three or so once I upgrade the amplifier. Also snagged two 500amp NVX isolators to safely ensure the lithium doesnt get too much charge when the car is running and I'm not playing full tilt. Better to be safe than sorry. Otherwise, waiting on SHCA to send me my order of a lithium charger and grommets, alongside my lithium terminals. Also waiting on a bunch of other little shit like volt meters and fans. Got a lot of work ahead of me. My Channel on YouTube.

Cardboardcat15 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Aite, some lil snapshots. Doors are formed and worked in, but still have work to do. Passenger door mould mustve shrunk somehow, gotta work that mold more to get it hugging the door panel flush. How I'm thinking I want my sensors set up. Gonna fab up some kind of holder to keep the volt meters and temp sensors in place. Am also thinking about making a little controller on a cord that houses all the temp sensors instead of having them stationary. Still havent decided. Where the lithiums will rest. Gonna build a nice battery box for em and line the inside with ceramic/mineral wool. Also gonna probably Build a top for them as well that I can latch down. Stockpile of what I'm sitting on currently. main thing that's keeping me from moving forward is my sky high order. Waiting on 2/0 grommets, my lithium charger and terminals for the battery. Otherwise, got fuse blocks, hookup wire and a shitload of other little peripherals on the way to get everything set up how I want it. Probably will be able to hit this thing hard again around the start of July, assuming all my orders get here by then. My Channel on YouTube.

Cardboardcat15 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Been working on the car for the past week or so, and after a pretty stupid setback, I finally got shit somewhat squared away! Still need pictures of the finished/wrapped door pods, but otherwise this is where I'm at. Gonna be a pic dump cause I forget to update this thread in a timely fashion lol Voltmeter from ebay, 10 bucks for all 5. Chose the spot where I wanted them, then set and shaped a base mould. Fleeced up and ready for body filler Nice and smooth! Next up, started running wires. 1/0 and 2/0 grommets going in. These were NOT easy to tighten down alone, lmao. 2/0 run! and finally got the 1/0 ground runs in My Channel on YouTube.
