tahoexfixssd Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 So its been forever since i have posted up any of my builds. i havent had internet for awhile and havebeen workin all night. But hers the latest one." The vehicle is an 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sub: 15" Fi BTL Amp: Rockford Fosgate t2500bd Batterys : CD tech 76ah Wire: Knu Kolossus Fleks 1/0 So my first thoguht was that i had to make this build really classy and look integrated with the car. the customer is 16 years old and his dad was really worried about me destroying the car in the process lol. So i had to make the spare tire bolt accessable, and be able to take everything out and out it back stock. i couldnt take up the entire back either. I also had to use the stock nav head unit ...so along with the LOC i had to add a line driver lol. So first step is makin the box as small as possible. i ended up around 4ft^3 @33hz. The port had to be raised up becasue of the false floor. i also covered the inside of the port in Brushed aluminum ALUPANEL, an 1/8" aluminum/abs composite panel. next comes the false floor which fit nicely in the area where the old floor was. the front of the box is also partly covered in Aluminum for the parts that will be exposed through the front plate. after a lonf night of thinkin how i was going to do the floor, 9515rob gace me the idea of curving it with the factory panel. so this is the template piece that will be used to create a raised edge with bondo that the wood grain inserts will sit flush in. with the floor cut out The body filler done. the template has to be sanded down on all edges so it will fit with the vinyl on there. A few pics of the wood grain insert and vinyl. its kinda hard to see the raised edge in these pictures. Quote NOVEMBER 2008 SYSTEM OF THE MONTH! ORIGINAL YUKON BUILD!

tahoexfixssd Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 next is the front panel. becasue of the curves of the quarter panels i had to get complicated to get it perfect. i should have taken pics of how i did this but its pretty common. i rough cut the edges of the board and then taped off the side quarter panels. then i took Fiberglass reinforced filler and forced it into the gaps between the board and the panel. after it dried i took it out and sanded off the excess with abelt sander. it turned out pretty damn good. then i took it and did the same bondo technique with the port vents. here it is with some vinyl the front panel is raised off of the box 1/4" so that LEDS can show through the gap. The rest of the build i had to rush to get it out of the garage so i didnt take any pics. but hers some finished pics. Quote NOVEMBER 2008 SYSTEM OF THE MONTH! ORIGINAL YUKON BUILD!

tahoexfixssd Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 The white diamonds on top are woodgraid abs rings with white plexi so that the blue leds with give off more of a glow. Under that is just white formica so that the light will relect better. the left one will have a rockford logo and right a FI. the middle one has my KG logo that is painted from the back. i had reverse decals made for that reason lol. Il post better pics up when i get my other camera and he comes back over int eh day time. it was a pretty damn clean install lol. the batterys wer hidden behind the seat, i forgot to mention that Quote NOVEMBER 2008 SYSTEM OF THE MONTH!
