Fi Btl 18" build log

[rumproast789 0]

Alright well, this is my second real system. My first one was a package deal with sony xplods!!!!! hah anyways, they sounded good for the price but after a LONG time of thinking, and I'm talking very long, I decided on the BTL. I have most of the stuff for the install, but this will be a pretty long one due to school, and my resources. I have an 02 explorer xlt. Here is a pic of it:

I already have the remote wire, and the RCA's installed on the stock head unit (upgrading that later when I get more $$), and a 200 amp alternator.

Heres what has to go in:

(2 batterys)

(third battery, can't decide if I want to put all 3, just the other two, or just this one?)

I'll try to keep it updated

wow, didn't see that anyone else posted here! lol.

Well there are two updates. Took out the third row completly, forgot to take pics while doing it because me and my dad got in an argument lol. I'll take pics of the after math.

The box we built, then I took pics. It is almost finished all thats left is a double baffle. We were originally going to do flush mount, but mounting depth interfered with the port lol.

Here are the pics:

Port dimensions must have gotten messed up with the front part of box, whatever its my first build. I can put a filler piece in each side and then later on carpet it all up.

(the screws aren't all exact, but no one will see them after carpeting. It is very sturdy and I'd rather have that)

Why don't you? I have to do this stuff all with my dad, because just realizing what we did today with the box, I would have never been able to do any of it

looks all right, and tell your dad young people never listen to old people.

what is the specs and tuning on that box? ...unless I missed it.

I don't think I posted it actually. 7 cubes at 33hz. Pretty much exactly how I wanted it to turn out...

Here are some more pics of the box almost done!

(stupid lowes cuts)

We ended up flush mounting it! The blade was getting messed up and started going up in smoke so the last part of the 18.5" whole needed to be sanded. Has to be sanded some more still.

What do you all think?
