1point21gigawatts Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 My bad. I have a problem not reading things thoroughly sometimes lol. Didn’t see that until now. But yeah. That is ingenious. So simple and effective. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Thanks for the tip. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doors are awesome, I had to change the OEM door opening system (see that steel cable on the panel), now it's located somewhere else. I also put some kind of sticking foam boards inside to cancel the 120-150hz resonance inside, now it's good. The only issue I have is that the panel is flat, so while demoing doors opened the sound does not go where it should (door hasn't a 90° opening angle, I have to modify that).

Car Audio 83 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 First thing I did was removing the old wall (Wood only wall, with 4 BassFace XPL15.1 (smaller version than for the new build) + 2 x 8k GZ amps (doing 159dB legal, 160.8 outlaw). Had to go with the chainsaw EDIT: of course, it's not shown in the picture but the old wall was sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Audio 83 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Next thing was to get the car running, I had issue as it hasn't been turned on for months (thanks CoViD !) I made a small video so you can see how small the car is. I ran some wires, put one of my Winston blocs and turned it on. video-1578840943.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Audio 83 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Then it was time for the design, I wanted to have approximately the same wall as I had in the previous build, but much stronger. So I went for an simple flat wall, 20.5 cufts charge volume after all displacements, with the idea to maximise the width and height and minimise the depth. I think it ended somewhere close to 51" width, 34" height and 26" depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Audio 83 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 As I had to build a steel cage, I bough a welding machine, and learnt to weld. The firsts welds were kind of horrible, I had to sand them and weld a second time to get something solid. I made the different parts separately, as the car is small, it's really a buthurt to work directly inside. I started with the floor piece, welded some parts fast to test if the fitting in the car was good. And it was btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
