Hondakilla98's build log

[hondakilla98 29]

I started on a new sub box for the RE SX15 in my 98 jeep grand Cherokee yesterday. It's 4 cu ft net tuned to 31 hertz, sub firing up, slot port firing back. This was my first ported box build, and came out alright. It still needs alot of finish work. I'll post pics later today.

Thanks. It took me a while to get motivated to start it. I've been thinking about it for months. Now that i got started I need to keep motivated and finish the rest of my install.

Looks good dude. borrow a router and clean up the edges and flush mount that bitch.

I'm going to square up all the edges with a belt sander and then i'll borrow a router and round all the square edges on the box and in the port. We'll see about the flush mount. Then paint the box.

Well i bought the jeep with the system in it from a friend. I swapped out the Alpine IDA-x100 for the CDA-9886, added the eq, changed out the alpine MRP-F450 for a Kicker ZX750.1, then traded that for the KX1200.1, and have now swapped that out for an SAZ-1500D that I bought from Lunchbox(Steve Mead on the forum). The sub was an Alpine Type S 12 in a sealed box, then a JL 12W3V2 sealed, then a Rockford P3 12" sealed, and then the RE SX15D4 that i just put in a new box. It really hasn't been that expensive untill recently. Since i did a lot of trading and always came out ahead. I think all together when i'm done with this batch of upgrades I'll be less than $1000 total into the system.

^^^^^^^^^ hey thats me.

Nice job on the box!

[hondakilla98 29]

SAZ-1500D installed under back seat. It's a tight fit.

[hondakilla98 29]

I started on installing the focal mids today. I have the passenger side in and they sound good. Now I need to work on staging and getting them some more power. I'll post up pics tomorrow.

[rattleboxIAK 1]

Here are some pics.

box looks just like mine but sub back lol nice work

[hondakilla98 29]

I started on cleaning up my wires to the eq and amp. And installing a 4 channel to run the focals up front. When i got my Eclipse 3242 installed I found out it didn't work. So now I'll have to run my backup. An Alpine MRP-F250. It should work for now untill I can get the 3242 fixed. Now I just need to figure out my wiring harness to the door speakers. I"ll post some pics later.

eq wiring before

During

After

Theft Deterrent

Focals temporarily installed

Speaker spacer i made that ended up being too thick. (the door panel wouldn't go back on)

Overhead alpine dvd player uninstalled. It will be up for sale soon in the classifieds

[hondakilla98 29]

I have an Active front stage in my jeep! I moved the tweeters to the factory location in the dash. Got my wires ran and hidden. Finally got to put my door panels back on. Put a layer of fattmat on both sides of my woofer spacer in the door. And played with the crossover a little. It still needs more tuning. But it already sounds better. Now I need to work on deadening and ordering MLV and CCF. Then I can tear the doors apart again.

I had my H100 under the drivers seat just like that. Makes changing RCA connections alot easier, not counting you can use shorter patch cables.

The box lOoks gOod Brother, Keep up the good work.
