stefanhinote's volvo v40 build

[ssh 924]

How much does it hit by, try shaving down where the speaker mounts if its not by that much?

Hits by a lot, actual baffle hits so I can't just trim it.

I'm gonna redo both doors in a few weeks when I'm not burnt out.

Didn't I read that you got your Tbelt changed out? Did you get your enclosure from Andrew yet?

I can say from doing my son's sub enclosures that it is time consuming. We spent a ton of time sanding. Yes, as mentioned about fleece does soak up a ton of resin. I'm planning some door pods for my next project and I have been taking notes on all the glassing I have been seeing so hopfully I have a few more "tricks of the trade" before I get started. So many builders make it look so easy.

Tuned for more updates...

You are going balls deep into this build. Looking good.

[ssh 924]

I'm getting it changed this week One less thing to deal with.

As for the enclosure, we had some problems fitting the ports in the original design, so were doing a new box. It should be awesome when it's done

The more glassing I do, the less sanding I find myself having to do. Perhaps I'm slowly getting better at it. I'm also in the process of moving, so I have the majority of my tools at the new house, so going back and forth in limbo land

I bought a cool looking amp for my mids and highs, vibe litebox 2 channel. Nothing fancy, but should be a lot better then hu power. Also got a cheap pair of vibe 6.5s just so I can finish up the door pods.

Hopefully next week I'll have a pod done and some new pictures

Good Vibe-rations!!

[ssh 924]

Time to run rcas, speaker wire, and amp!

[CrazyKenKid 64]

nice-ness!!!

[sefugi 166]

Those mids have some nice eye appeal!! What are the measurements on that amp? Looks really small but the specs on it seem pretty strong.

[S.DeYoung 968]

What are the specs on that amp? I have seen a few around but haven't looked into them.

[ssh 924]

4 ohms: 90 watts x 2 chan.

2 ohms: 125 watts x 2 chan.

Bridged, 4 ohms: 250 watts x 1 chan.

Dimensions: 5-1/4"D x 8-1/4"W x 2"H

Just finished installing it, current hertz coaxials sound cleaner and a lot louder, too bad their only 5 1/4s with next to zero midbass.

It won't be long and your mb problem will be solved

[ssh 924]

It won't be long and your mb problem will be solved

That's the plan

I was originally going to get those hi-vis from madisound, but saw the vibes, looked cool, figured its a comp set, gotta be better then my coaxials, impulse buy

Some more pictures, just boring stuff

Haven't cleaned up wiring or anything yet, just temp until I finish up the sub area and figure out where everything is going. I think I'll make a cover behind the battery, and mount the amp on the side. Gotta love how small it is

[Sencheezy 689]

Very nice! Me likey

[Mtopper 23]

give a review of the vibe equipment when you get the chance. i've looked at their products so many times that i'm losing it haha. looks good for temporary
