Oh I might have to Mike, this weather is getting on my nerves.

bigaudiofanat · 03-13-2010, 03:23 PM

Today even with the rain i decided to finish the right kick panel. As I sit here recovering from the fumes I think they are going to look good after sanding bondo and paint.

Trimmed the base

Made the ring and started mounting it.

Everything fits good going ahead fro wrapping and fiberglass.

Clearance fleece blanket for 8 bucks. Sorry disney

First coat of fiberglass.

bigaudiofanat · 03-13-2010, 05:54 PM

Added the second layer "just went down and added a layer of matt and resin to those layers. Will let it all set over night.

speedfreak28 · 03-13-2010, 06:01 PM

wheres the fiberglass? you cant just resin over the fleece and call it a day

bigaudiofanat · 03-13-2010, 06:14 PM

Going down to add a third layer with whisker now thanks Mike

speedfreak28 · 03-13-2010, 06:16 PM

no problem, Its a common error, Resin and fleece seems like enough but just doenst give the strength you need

bigaudiofanat · 03-13-2010, 10:29 PM

Last one for the night.

ok so couple questions i see u are doing kicks are you just sealing the speaker in the kick? if so how much airspace are you giving them? you do know even mids require certain amount of airspace. secondly since you are using ID and you KNOW i know my ID. how much airspace are you giving those subs? you got D2's? how do you plan on wiring the subs up to the amp? what ohm load? on the door speaker how far away is the speaker from the door? you do realize that if you leave a gap between the speaker and the panel it won't sound right? if you look at the factory speaker you'll see they had a spacer so that the sound from the speaker is directed towards the grill and not just firing into the door panel itself

horsemanwill · 03-15-2010, 11:57 PM

couple more questions. how are you aiming the mids? what freqs are you sending where? i noticed you got the req 5 and the dsp

bigaudiofanat · 03-16-2010, 10:17 AM

Not a req 5 plus the req and clean sweep are not needed. The stock unit has a nice flat low output signal that people recommend to use. 1 cubic foot per sub for the subs the first time I made the box I really did not know the math. Plus I suck at math but after I got a friend to look it over and how me what the correct size was. I trimmed it down. They will be running at 2 ohms as the amp is not stable at .5 ohms. The mids are aimed towards the driver in both cases and the fiberglass i seled. I understand they look small but there is plenty of space towards the lower end of the enclosure.
