michigancapri92 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 well as im working on car i figured i would also redo my big mistake from last year when i had no idea what i was doing, i moved my battery from engine bay to the trunk and used "0ga" wire, well i kind of knew it was cheap but i never seen REAL 0AWG wire before so i didnt know, well i found the source to all my voltage drop and electric problems, my old ground wire from battery to rear strut mount( let me know if there is a better place to ground battery ) and it was reading like 8-10 ohms O_O thanks to pharmacist i got some )awg wire for my ground getting all new wire soon but here is a nice comparison shot of the wire thats running from front of car to the back >.< man im stupid the smaller wire is some Rockford fosgate 4AWG Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michigancapri92 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 ok well i got all the sound deadner in the car and i have the box back in and what a difference that makes with the bass, plus adding a divider in the center port for both chambers made a HUGE difference, i didnt take all the pictures but here are some im very happy with the way the bass sounds, still waiting to finish door pods for the 2x 6.5 components on each door and waiting for the 8" reference midbass drivers for the rear as well, i got the trunk sealed from cabin and that seemed to have helped as well also replaced all my shitty 4gauge equivilent CCA 0ga wire with all 0AWG welding wire and with subwoofers at full tilt voltage doesnt drop down past 13.5+ only running a 65AMP stock alt so im pretty happy with that .... cant get the pictures to upload into phoobucket says network error so i will try again later Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 here are some pictures of what i have done so far trunk lid, it looks like its peeling but its the angle Box inside the car, panels are in and seats and seat belts are in still need to put the cover on the top and the boxes in for the midbass drivers back of the trunk, turned out pretty good the fiberglass is hard as rock and does a good job sealing the trunk up the lid that coveres the convertable top when top is down and holds the bubble top area were top goes amps bubble top doors all done, it doesnt look as good as i seen other people do but it no longer rattles thats all i have for now more soon Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michigancapri92 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 got some more done today, got my mid bass drivers in the mail today boxes cut ready to be assembled ( didn't have any glue ) and got 2 coats of bondo on the pods and somewhat sanded im very pleased with the speakers since i paid 35 a piece for them, the rubber surround is very soft and does not have a very strong suspension but i did a couple free air test and no problems should sound good once in the box, box will be .27 cu/ft before displacement of speaker the pods aren't SUPER thick but very strong don't move a bit but once they get cut open i will be soaking in some more resin where the cloth didn't soak all the way through and then one more coat of glass to finish her off. more updates as they come, hopefully not to much longer till shes done Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 got some more done today was going to do more but those in Michigan can understand why Almost ready for paint, using black truck bed liner got them cut open to find the resin didnt soak all the way trough the fleece so we will put some more in to add even more strength to the rock solid pod got these boxes made after about 3 tries, a WONDERFUL story behind why but i think i will keep that between me and Bobbarker lol more to come i dont know about the 7" driver yet might switch to the 8" we will see once in car Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
