Bronze Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 56 Registered: Oct-10 | Hahahaha. I will think about it... |
|
Bronze Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 76 Registered: Oct-10 | http://s1029.photobucket.com/home/makinblak I would upload the images, but don't know how to shrink them! I still need to sand and apply the bedliner to the box. It also needs to be bolted down somehow... But anyway, this is my first ported box build, and I think I did alright. My next will be better tho, i'm gonna hafta stop using that derned jigsaw! Feel free to give honest opinions |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 124 Registered: Oct-10 | Still waiting on that dern sundown amp. In the meantime I might gather up enough will power to go ahead and herculine it. Anyone ever seen a bedlinered box? |
|
Silver Member Username: CanaanwhiteMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 235 Registered: Nov-10 | Yeah I've seen some bedlined boxes...PRO Boxes are mostly bedlined |

|
Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 129 Registered: Oct-10 | The pro boxes ive seen are like faux bedlined, kinda more like a hard plastic box. I've got the herculiner diy kit from autozone, get in the zone, and I'm thinking its gonna be badass, cuz my box will double as a floor on camping trips and mud wumping nites. I got the SAE 1200.1 and 2 kicker L7 12s |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 133 Registered: Oct-10 | FUXK avs4you! anyway, see those last 2 pics? under my back glass looks like sh!!!t... Any ideas how to make that look slick and clean? I was originally thinking making a backrest for it, but NO haha. Now i'm thinking I can smooth it all out, fill in the holes in the metal and paint it. But then there will still be that gasket under the window. I can't stand it looking like dook like that. |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 202 Registered: Oct-10 |   Got that Sundown in after 2.5 weeks of waiting, and this thing sounds awesome. Not sure about all the filters on it, I will be hitting yall up on that a lil later. I ran a 4 awg along my 6 awg so figured I would use them both. All OFC. Each with an 80 amp fuse. 4 and 6 for ground as well. Need to do big 3 soon, my lights dim pretty good, but im still running 13-14 volts going down the road unless im just trying to blow my ear drums. I have a vid of it, just need to get it online. Will post shortly. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 2188 Registered: Aug-07 | Question... Whats up with that part of the port at the bottom? Run outta MDF? lol |
|
Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 205 Registered: Oct-10 | O... uhhh... you saw that huh? haha that is a rookie mistake. butted the wrong panels. |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 2351 Registered: Nov-07 | i dont think the 4 and 6 guage together is the best idea i would just run the 4 guage until i could save up for 2 or 0 |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 3074 Registered: May-07 | what ohm you running that amp at? as long as its not below 1 ohm, true 4ga will be just fine. |
|
Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 209 Registered: Oct-10 | i am running at one ohm. What is the rating for 4g? Maybe 1500 watts. I guess the 6 is not necessary, but I just thought, what the heck. And The surround is coming loose from the basket on the L7s----hold for laughs------- I was thinking of gorilla superglu for rubber-to-metal. Maybe regular gorilla glue instead. Has anyone had experience with this? |
|
Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1707 Registered: Sep-09 | ~100 amps for CCA wire and ~150 for OFC. |
|
Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 210 Registered: Oct-10 | Also, I believe my next step is to put a row of mid-range speaks on top of my sub box. I have 6x9s in the door, and was thinking 4 6" 3way speakers for the back:: in a single, long box. Would this give me a full range of sound? Or should I put 2 8" and 2 4" or what? I have heard of mid-bass but have no clue what it involves. I will definately run all my mids off one amp, and don't want to have to fool with tweets, that's why I like the idea of 3-ways. Any suggestion/advice appreciated |
|
Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 3075 Registered: May-07 | Try any super glue that contains cyanoacrylate (most do). as for the speakers, instead of buying multiple lower-end coax speakers, just buy a nice set of components for your front doors and an amp to go with them, and build some door pods. If you think you need rear speakers, get a descent pair of speakers for the back. Dont load up on multiple coax speakers to shove behind you, would likely not sound very well anyways. |
|
Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 213 Registered: Oct-10 | Thanks donnie, but I put gorilla glue on it and weighed it down a bit for a while, and it holds like a champ. As for the components, I'm sure I will need back speakers, cuz my current back door speakers are straight blocked by my box and my bass totally drowns out the words. I think it would look sweet with a row of speaks under my back window. Not sure what i would do with 2 in the back for an overall clean look. I was thinking a 4 channel amp, running one channel each to front 6x9s and the other 2 channels to the 4 back speaks. I'm thinking Kicker components maybe memphis unless I find something better and cheeper. Suggestions welcome. |
