deernet Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 This is the optimal design for the X Con 18 that SSA has on their site. My BTL 18 is going to be going into it. I've still got a lot of sanding to do. I did all of this last weekend. I'll be finishing it up this weekend. I've still got a lot of wiring to do. I've got a 270 amp Mechman alternator to put in. I've got 50 foot of 1/0, which I'm hoping will be enough. I think I'm going to use my starting battery I've got, a Napa 70 series or something, I'll have to look at the specs and post if anyones interested. I've got a big Wal-Mart brand battery with dual terminals I'm going to put in the back. I'll probably eventually get some better batteries once I get some more money, but for the power I'm running I think I'll be fine. I got 9x18 pieces of plexi, but I think I should have gone bigger, because I had them drilled, and the place didn't want to go any closer to the corners than 2" for fear of it cracking, so that cuts down on the viewable area a lot. I also put some liquid nail around it to try and seal it good. My dad helped out with it, and I used his tools, so shout out to him, thanks dad! haha On future builds I think the only things I'll do differently is to maybe use a skill saw to get the pieces that go around the plexi smoother. May still change that since it isn't painted yet. I've got this textured spray paint I'm going to use, its supposed to look like stone, thought it would match my interior pretty good.

clintcav Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 That is a huge box, what is it going in? You should flush in the plexiglass and where are you putting the other pieces?

BluX Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 That's a great first box. Much better than mine. I found that using a table saw makes some really nice cuts. I will never go back to using a skill saw after using the table saw. I need to work on my jigsaw skills too.
