System spec's ( that I know for sure)

Head Unit  JVC <-- nothin special at this time it will change later on>

SoundStream Exact 6.3 mid's with Alpine Type R tweeters

Alpine MRV-F540 (mids-highs)

2) SoundStream SPLX 154's   quad 1ohm's

No sub Amp @ this moment.

2- runs of 1/0 for power

2- runs of 1/0 for ground( I still need this)

Big 3 ( I have all of this ready to go)

High-output alternator ( came allready in the van)

phoenix gold fused distro-block

phoenix gold Battery terminal

2 walmart Batteries

Enclosure ported Wall.

currently its sitting in the van @ 25.5 cubes it has no front baffle or rear panels yet ( I ran out of screws)

top and sides are doubled up 3/4 mdf and single layer on the bottom.

I will be doing custom lower door panels so that I can mount this mids & highs in the doors instead of installing them in the stock dash pockets.

I made the base of the wall bigger than what I needed so I can test it before I decide on actuall volume, I will be making 2 ports one for burp and one for BassRace.

On to the pics.

the wall is getting pretty close to being done,  I was going to resin the whole inside but I dont think I will @ this time, this is just to finish the season up, next yr we will do something out of control. ( when the funds are better )

I ran out of carpet so the other panels will have to wait untill my next payday.

I think it looks pretty good, I have never carpeted before so Im pleased with the outcome.
