eljefe Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 MATT402- Thanks for the feedback bro appreciate it i will keep everybody posted and informed as things go AZNBOI : im gonna use plywood for my build, i dont wanna be like everyone else that does builds, besides i heard that when u use plywood and the box flexes it increases the amount of air that the subs move which i.m.o. would get me at least an extra 5 or 6 DBs..PLYWOOD FTMFW Quote THIS IS THE START OF A PROBLEM THATS LACKING A SOLUTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 no if you dont have a good sealed box then you'll lose that pressure and you'll LOSE the dbs.and then with all that flexing that the box will do it'll just end up destroying the box.I mean you could do it with plywood but you'd have to brace the box like hell Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

But costs about 20$ more per sheet). Edited May 27, 2009 by Bangin Caddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center Counsole- MDF framed(40Lx14Wx18H) padded top on storage compartment, plexiglass, some fiber glass, some led's, 3 amps, and some MB quart... thats all im throwing out there for the center counsole, Kick Panels, A-Pillars, and something custom for a couple sets of 6x9's, Total RMS wattage when the build is 100%= 5200 watts(i AM NOT looking to step into the world of 150+) Quote THIS IS THE START OF A PROBLEM THATS LACKING A SOLUTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That convo was back in 2001, but its something that i will never forget, we ended up installing about 6 different systems in that car over a 5 year time frame, he now has an Expedition with all CDS components, Kenwood in-dash DVD, 4 screens, and 2-15'' Kicker CVX's, not to mention now hes married and has 3 kids, like the sig says: our FIRST install...The build that im getting ready to start will actually be the 12th COMPLETE(from all factory components to all aftermarket) like i said i may be new to the forum but im not new to the game, Quote THIS IS THE START OF A PROBLEM THATS LACKING A SOLUTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
