Bronze Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 94 Registered: Feb-06 | Started in May and slowly worked on off and on. My very first attempt at fiberglassing. http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1782/1rstvz1.jpg All wrapped up with stretchy polyester fabric from Jo-Anns http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/574/2ndwj1.jpg After some glassing.. The vertexs were a b*tch http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4605/3rdhj9.jpg This is where it got hard.. im noob at bondo http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/6608/4rthog3.jpg Inside shot of the port..used 4 inch PVC pipe and tuned it to 32 hz for SQ http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3418/5thna1.jpg Heres the big sub I put in.. Diamond Audio D9 10'' http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/417/6thqy6.jpg It's a beast. http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/8112/7thok0.jpg I know I skipped some steps but I didn't take pics on those. Here it is after the paintjob. I used spraycan dupli-color because I'm cheap. The decal was custom made for me on ebay. Only 8$ shipped here...pretty good deal. http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2573/8thyg1.jpg http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6264/9thgs0.jpg So pretty. Question and comments welcome. I should of clear coated it but the guy at pep-boys wouldn't sell the spray paint to me because I'm 17 what a crock of sh*t so maybe I'll do it later. This is currently in my single cab f150. |

Bronze Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 95 Registered: Feb-06 | Pretty crappy one for right now, atleast by all the people with 1,000$ to drop on systems in this forum LOL. But, it is a MA audio HK400D. I think it's actually pretty nice. Definitly bumps. I am saving up to buy a Diamond D61000.1 though. |

That is definitely crap that the guys at pimple-boys won't sell you the spray paint heh. For being 17, you seem extremely knowledgeable about car audio from your posts, I thought you were in your 30's haha ![]() |

Bronze Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 96 Registered: Feb-06 | Thanks Jexx. Yea It's my second box I've ever made. I need to get a tahoe or something I can experiment more with. I have a single cab truck so my box designs are somewhat limited. As far as me being 17, beauty of the internet I guess. Makes me laugh too because they wouldn't hire me as an installer at best buy because of my age. I know more than any of those morons. I think the main thing that taught me most of the stuff I know is here www.the12volt.com everyone on that site is pretty savvy they all do it for a living just about. |
