My daily, very clean and simple just how I like it. Going to add a few toys to her but nothing major. Audio/Video, HID's and that's about it right now. Keeping that stock look outside to avoid unwanted attention and because I'll have another toy (car or bike) to play with in the near future... So here we go, I'l keep adding on as I go on, providing pics and details on what/how I did, hope it helps.



She Ain't The Best But She's My Best

Haven't received all the my audio yet, just a few pics of what I will be using.

(2) 10" Audiopipe Txx-bc10's

Both say 1000w, but only the class D amp is 1000w, the smaller one only does and rated at 75 x 2 @ 4 ohms RMS.

The class D amp will accept 4 guage.

I haven't installed mine but a buddy owns the same class D amp and the mini 4 channel (4050) and tested rated power. One guy on another forum said his mini 4050 sounded like it was more powerful and just as clean as the MB Quart DSC125 4 channel amp he has also... I dont know how true that is but I know Audiopipe is on their shit when it comes to amps, and subs for the price..

Found some old stinger wire, 4 & 8 guage.

The 2075 (2channel amp) will accept 4 guage if you stripted just a tad, 8 guage works easily.

The 1300 (sub amp) accepted the 4 guage easily.

No, save the big stuff for another vehicle.

Box for my (2) 10"s, actually made the depth 16" which gave me 3.8 cubes internal, port was 0.68 cubes, so after the port and sub displacements, I'm sitting at ~3.2 cubes internal which is more than enough airspace for some 10"s, will have good low end bass response, port is tuned to 33hz so it'll still be decently musical while getting in the lows

Went to home depot, (1) full sheet of 3/4" MDF which is 4 foot x 8 foot. = $30 , had them to cut for me.

Also used to cut out template that came with my subs, cut it out, placed it on some cardboard, traced it and cut it again twice. Found my port dimensions and traced it on paper, cut it out.

post a vid when through

[Kamau]

Appreciate it & will do!

Good shit, this what I usually do after/or instead of making card board templates just to get an idea on where I want to cut at with my router or jig saw.

Create a circle jig, take the over all diameter divide in half to find my center/pivot point.

Now I got a nice lil line to follow.

Traced it on the wood in pencil, then with marker. If your front panel will be one of the outside panels ( the ones that sandwich the rest of the box) remember the to add the 3/4" (or whatver size wood you use) measurements to the edges of that panel, so you wont run into mounting problems later, look by my port to see what I'm talking about, the lines around the port show where the next panels will fit.

Didn't make PERFECT cuts, fuck im using a jig saw but subs fit perfectly fine.


Used a stihl jig saw, pretty cheap and decent, with "pirahna" toothed jigs, cut that 3/4" MDF like butter, leaves real smooth cuts/edges.

30" of port length, crazy how a prefab box only has about 10" of port length or small port area compared to custom boxes...

Going with a side port as you can see above, bends towards the end of the enclosure, keeping the 3" port width all the way thru



Got the panels mocked up to see how they will fit. Once I got the fit I wanted, threw some Gorilla Glue on it and started nailing away, fuck screws!

I honestly wouldnt mess with those typre batteries myself, I gotta do more research on them but from the little I've read up on them, they're wet celled and dont discharge or charge fast like a car audio battery and fucking heavy as hell.

They are strong and some may be deep cycle since they're used on heavy duty machinery but I think it's a car audio fab that audio heads going thru to have these big ass batteries...
