I'm putting two amps on that board and a set of components. that way if i want to listen to music at a car show I won't have to crank it up to hear the words.
I'm pretty happy with the new box I made, it's nice & solid.

hopefully i'll have finished pics tomorrow!

[ib2loud]

got it all done. it sounds real good but doesn't look perfect

it'll do for now though. I need to slap some carpet or something on that little corner of the box that's peeking through but you won't see it unless you're squatting down

[ib2loud]

I decided to rebuild the facade and hide all the stuff to give it a cleaner look. I think this looks better...

About 100X better

I agree. With the first one was kind of flashy and cluttered. Too much was going on. The 2nd one was more clean cut. Looks great though.

[hoskjo]

I like the second one as well....looks cleaner, good job

[SJCHARGER]

the 2nd looks better x5 lol also why dont you throw 2 12"s in their with the idea of the second one? i think that will look dope also what were the steps to get that done ive been wanting to do something like this to my car.....

[ib2loud]

no room for two 12s. behind that facade is the sub box, two air compressors, two amps, a 5 gallon air tank, and 8 air valves...

[SJCHARGER]

would you happen to have any more pics of the build? im curious to see how i would go about starting something like that? that looks clean i dont have bagz so i might be able to throw 2 12"s but i like your set up its clean....

Where at in oklahoma?

It's not hard to do, I just built a normal box and then got some masonite at Lowe's ($6 per sheet) and cut it to fit. The masonite is very flexible so you can cut it to be a tight fit and bend it to wedge down in there around the edges.

I live south of OKC in Oklahoma.

x2

[SJCHARGER]

thats masonite board? hmm it looks thick? im so lost bro lol so masonite is flexable where i can get a piece and bend it and trim?

[ib2loud]

The box is made of 3/4" MDF. I just built a panel to go across the front out of masonite. I think it was 1/8" thick because the 1/4" wasn't flexible enough. I got it at Lowe's. A 4'x8' sheet was right around $6 and I didn't even use half of it. This is how it looks without the panel:

Here are a few more (dark) pics. I took these in the garage at night so they're not very bright.

I'll have better pics next time I do a photoshoot or car show

[SJCHARGER]

i see what you did now thats a koo idea so you remounted your amp n stuff on the back? and also with your final set up is there enough room to get the spair out?

[ib2loud]

yeah the flap folds straight up, it doesn't block access at all. the amps are mounted to the rear of the box now. they haven't overheated yet but i may end up putting a fan or something for air flow back there

[SJCHARGER]

i like that idea i just want something so i can get the spair out ya know? also i think it would be sick if you made something to mount 1 amp on each side of where the tail lights are...... i think thats gonna be my plan:rocker:

[ib2loud]

I did that with my first setup but there was too much wasted space behind them that I could use to carry stuff so I decided to change it. I've had about 5 different setups in this car since I bought it in October but I'm happy with this one.

[SJCHARGER]

i know what you mean.....
my advantage is i dont have bagz so i can push my sub box a lil further back. also what you think would be better a ported or sealed for our charger trunks i have the same kicker sub but i got two.....

[ib2loud]

ported would probably be louder if it's built correctly. i didn't have room to do ported or I would have done that. The one sub in the sealed box sounds real clean though.

[Kansas City_Charger]

Yea port that it into the cabin and you will def. have a rediculous amount of bass. BTW I am really liking this setup 2loud....looks professional and stealth. Stealth always looks sexy. I got two 15's and trying to do a stealth setup like this. Trying to come up with a box design that will allow me to port the box into the cabin trhrough the rear deck lid in the empty 8 inch sub hole in the deck.

[ib2loud]

i removed the rear 6x9s and the covering over the stock sub location so I don't have any problems with the bass not entering the cabin. the sub box isn't really big enough to be ported and sealed boxes always sound so much tighter to me.
