Been a while but I am finally back at it... the DIY'er in me got the best of me once again.

This is the current system:
Stock Head Unit
Front Stage: JL C5s
Front Stage Amplifier: Sundown 100.2
Rear Stage: Stock.





Has been about a year and sounds awesome to me, but we can always get better (plus I miss subs). It will be a while before it is all finished but this is what I am planning for the new set up.

HU: Alpine W505
Processing: Alpine H701
Active Front Stage: Cd1 Pro Minis for the tweeters and X69s for the midbass
Rear Stage: JL C5s
Substage: (2) FI Q 15s sealed
Amps: (2) 1.000 Alpine PDXs, 4.150 Alpine PDX, 4.100 Alpine PDX.

Pics coming up...

 

Box design was pretty easy since I am going sealed. My old box was at max width and height, so it worked perfect for using a test a box with the trim piece.

My best friend when it comes to box building. Folds up and hides away when I don't need it.




Unfortunately some of the pieces of wood were too big to fit into my car and I had home depot make the long cuts. Now I understand if they are off by a 1/8th inch but is it too much to ask for just a straight cut? It won't be seen anyways so no big deal.

 

Recessed finished into the trim piece (working also as a double baffle). I actually broke the first trim piece, the bottom and top are extremely thin.



More to come soon..

 

Got a lil more done... still have to pick up the plexi and begin fiberglassing.









And a few pics of the car

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday about how dead the forum was.

 

Looks good. I see you got the lights done and the rims on. Looks MUCH better...

 

Took Jeff's advice on the VHT stuff, works great. They still need some sanding and what not but it is good stuff!
