Re: construction finally starts
Today I masked everything up with tape first, then foil and started glassing the back wall of the trunk liner. https://i.imgur.com/TJmVNZl.jpg I didn't mix the hardener in well enough on the first coat so some spots cured and others were still soft so I did a hot coat on top and added a layer in a f...

Re: construction finally starts
today I was happy to be able to wiggle in a really nice/complete tool kit on the passenger side and then started on the back wall. Next I will fiberglass those 3 pieces together so that they come up to the seal around the trunk edge.

Re: construction finally starts
and today I did the other side and started on the back wall area. I was hoping to make it in one piece but that is not going to happen. I put a window on this side just out for the sake of symmetry.

Re: construction finally starts
I have been busy, a little on the box and with the transmission(STILL!) and with life in general. I was finally able to install the box and I made a grill to go in front of the woofer to protect it and to add a little style. https://i.imgur.com/6irGHPA.jpg I painted the grill a black candy that has ...

Re: Nickel plated heat sinks
not sure exactly. I think what he means is that nickel like a lot of metals will corrode if its handled. Think of how an old penny can look after its been in circulation, but then think about the sets in coin collections that still looks shiny as can be. I had my dd10 and some other pieces plated to...

Re: construction finally starts
work on this project has slowed a little because I finally was able to get the alignment dowels out of the block to allow me to install offset dowels to correct the run out. Hopefully the rest of it goes well but I did manage to get the first strand of leds in place and I could not resist powering t...

Yes doors can make a HUGE change with the correct damping. I got HDPE(cutting board material) from amazon to cover the holes in my doors.

Re: System Improvements Suggestions
I am a bit of an old school pg freak myself. The x-max were not a bad sub but I can't say they were my fav sub either. I must admit that I have not messed with the new gear to have a true opinion on it I am just being my snobby old school self I guess. The system I am building is based around the ol...

If you don't like the bass cube you can always turn it off, or just remove and sell it but it was not uncommon to find me tweeking it more often then I should. I love pg amps, and their old wi...

I also got the tubing bent into place that will hide the wire for the woofer that will face into the trunk. I did a quick test to see how it looks lit up and it should be nice when I get the l...
