Sundown Warrior Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 This is the latest (and hopefully last) redux of my F-150. The equipment going in this time from front to back are a Pioneer AVH-P4000 DVD, Audiocontrol Epicenter, DQXS and Matrixes (x2), 10 Oxygen Audio Component Speakers (Air 83 set with a 6.5 midrange replacing the 8" woofer in the front doors and just a tweet and the 6.5 midrange for the rear), 2 Sundown Audio 100.4s driving the Mids and Highs, 2 Sundown Audio Nightshade 18s and 2 Sundown Audio 3000Ds breathing life into the subs. 1 Iraggi 300 amp alternator, Powermaster batts (1 2700 and 2 3100s) all Knukonceptz wiring. I will apologize for the lack of pictures my camera was lost and it contained about 2/3 of my build log, but enough of the B.S. Front door test fit Front door 95% done. DONE!!! Lets move on to the rear doors. This took me all of 10 min. from start to finish. Next is the enclosure from concept to finish. I used a Kreg Jig on this one and it came out nicely. It is very solid. I used 3/4" birch for the baffle and 1/2" FRP for the rest of the enclosure. FRP is friggin awesome in my opinion. It has better uniform quality than just fiberglassing over birch on ones' own and costs about the same and in my case it was free:) All I had to do was sand it a little to rough it up and then use one coat of resin and cloth. After that I let it cure for about 2 days and then coated it with Herculiner so that it matched the bed of my truck and then let that cure for a day. In between the fiberglass and Herculiner I used 5/8" all-thread and create-a-bolt kits for bracing. The enclosure is bolted to the frame in four places. Two utilizing the all-thread create-a-bolt tactic and the other 2 with the bed bolts. This is a little side project I'm trying to perfect. I molded some 9" dust caps b/c I thought that the 5" ones that come standard on the Nightshades, although nice in their own right, were a little puny. I have not gotten the process perfect yet but it will happen it will just take some patience on my part.

Sundown Warrior Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 This is the underseat deck which will be done tomorrow and the build will be complete. It will be the platform for the processing and power distribution for the 100.4s. I am trying to get the money together to send the Epicenter and Matrixes back to Audiocontrol for screen printing but i will post more pics of the totally finished build tomorrow.

Sundown Warrior Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) looks good, how big are them ports? they looks real small! and it looks like you dont have enough port for them beasts They are 6 x 13 tubes. I wanted it to musically correct and it is. I like SPL but SQ is what I strive for. It is tuned to 28hz. Thanks for the props.

BASS14 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 i dont think you have any wear near enough port. 2 6" not much Quote Vehicle-2014 Ford Fusion on 20" cruiser alloy obsessionsSubs-4 8" sundown audio E8v3 Sub Amp-Hifonics Brutus Elite 1200.1box-2.8cubes after all dis tuned to 32hz 4" aeroMids and highs-2 sets of Memphis PR 6.5 components Mids amp-Hifonics Brutus Elite 800.4 Deck-Factory IntegrationWiring-Memphis40sqft of damplifier Pro http://www.youtube.c...14?feature=mheeSMD SUPER BUYER/SELLER
Sundown Warrior Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 For SPL you are absolutely correct. But for music and my particular setup it was the best choice. I had a 18x8 port on the first box and it did not perform the way i wanted it to. So I switch to a different style and it came out well for music.
