[QUOTE="ExplsvCookie257, post: 7118211, member: 624778"] Things ive got done. -I finished laminating the box, me and my uncle did it in this blue. I wanted to do black but he didnt want there to be a seam on the top of the box due to the laminate not being long enough. Regardless of the color it turned out really nice, matches the amp kinda, and protects the box while also making it a lot stronger. -Finished some big three cables -ran new rca's I will edit this tomorow if I still can so I can add a picture taken in the light because it is dark and really cold before lamination with the blue laminate we used [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0065.jpg[/IMG] Finished some big three cables [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0063-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0067.jpg[/IMG] some things left to do. -Finish the angling for the kicks. -Run 12 gauge speaker wire for everything, right now its 16 gauge and patched together because I ran out of cable. -And anything else I didn't add from the other list. After adding more airspace I got pretty close to the .707 allighnment and it sounds incredible the difference from the old box is dramatic the bass seems quicker and digs down deep idk how else to describe it. Basically it sounds awesome with any music and plays mid bass ok because I cut the frequencies from 200 and up on the speakers so the bass doesn't hurt them from free airing while the sub plays all the way up to 125 because I hate how it sounds like theres a hole in the music. Some questions Someone tell me why my speakers kinda squeak to the bass only when the sub is playing with the sub-woofer level on the stereo all the way up but as I turn it down so its just music and a little bass it dissappears Im thinking the bass is moving the speakers since they arent enclosed yet. Finally finished the big three upgrade. Battery measured 14.14v idling and amp measured 14.10v dipped down to 14.05v on heavy bass notes. Everything in my truck is brighter the dash and even the headlights. My truck also started quicker as well. voltage before at amp was like 13.7 or something close to that not sure what it was at the battery. Are these new volt readings good or could it get better? Wiring [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0071.jpg[/IMG] more wiring [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0072.jpg[/IMG] fuse block [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0073.jpg[/IMG] ground [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0074.jpg[/IMG] relocated engine ground and also added a run of 2 gauge alongside. [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0077.jpg[/IMG] Box is finished besides organizing wires behind the removable amp rack, running 12 gauge speaker wire for everything, and mounting it to the back wall and floor.
