Looks bad ass Meade! What you say about looks is BS, cuz that looks down right sweet. Looks almost like some jet engines fireing out the back side

I dunno how you get ur "Meade 45's" so pretty and uniform but they look perfect in there.

FYI-I stole em and threw some mini 45's in the truck box i'm buildin after RAY got me all "spooked" questioning the solidity (sp?) of the middle piece.

I'd say wrap em in carpet or sumpin... SPL is NO EXCUSE IMO but I know them pure SPL folks will build some LOUD stuff and not worry bout the "pretty" at all so I guess give em what they ask for.

As most folks here would prolly agree-aint no shame in a well built, straight edged, router rounded box or 2 w/ uniform resin coating and perfectly aligned Aeros.MDF can be sexy as hell.

FAR better aesthetically than A LOT of whats out there.

I say 155 on the dash.

thanks guys Ok i decided since these ports were already modded a little to fit inside out inside the box that its OK to go ahead and make them permanent. In other words they are ruined anyway (other then being in this box). Its also a weak area of the box so i filled the backside of them level with resin. now its solid as a rock like i never cut them port holes. Plus it seems to me with such a big flare that part of the "box" in that area is essentially abs plastic and not resin saturated 3/4mdf like the rest of the box.

'bout to wire up his batterys for him too and then come his T4000.1bd's

his T4000.1bd's ....Plural.

DAMN! thats gonna be loud!

[meade916]

thanks guys!! i appreciate the love on something that wasnt meant to be loved.....its meant to be hated from the looks (ugly) to the sound (60hz burp machine). I still have to take a sander and knock all the resin "drips" and high spots and then run his speaker wire. Then hes done. He just dropped off his 3 Kinetik 2400's last nite for some rockford 1/0 wiring. I have pics of those but left my cam at home......tonite ill get them up.

Them crx burp machines are badass Steve! You gonna put it on the meter and see what its capable of before returning the beast to its owner?

either he will meter it or i will here is some more pics. I started the wiring today. Its basicly a soldering lesson in this section so dont be surprised if i take it and repost some of it in a "how to" post.

Here it is sorta "mocked up" how its going to be in the rex. Those are Kinetic 2400's

Using ALL Rockford 1/0.....of course!

Trimmed back about 1/2" and a 1/0 lug slapped on

Grab you a decent propane torch and some solder. I use 60/40 rosin core solder.

This will take practice but you will feel like you know something if you get the hang of it.

I always get it nice and hot before starting. But i never use the flame itself to melt the solder. Heat up the BACK side of the lug preferably up higher by the hole at first. This allows the solder to melt up higher and slide down and into the wire pocket. This also saves you from melting the crap out of the wire jacket.

you want to feed the wire and lug by pushing it against the hot surface and NOT the flame itself.......just keep pushing, get as much as you can in there without making it slip out the bottom and dripp everywhere.

I do this until it is flat smooth puddle of shiny solder on the top. The trick is you need that wire to wick the solder or its no good. Now i heat it up toward the bottom of the lug until i see the wire underneath pull the solder into it. Pull back so it goes down gently and then let it cool a little bit. The wire should be saturated in solder now. Now i thow another pool over the top by heating up the lug up by the top hole again and letting it fall down into a smooth flat surface. Make sure it fuses with the lug all the way around and your done.
