took the box out to resin inside, glass around the rings for the 6.5s, and paint the sides/top black. reason for painting is becuase i have a sunroof (yes, in the back) and the 2 back windows is like 10" away from the box, and even with 5% tint, when the sun was really bright, you could see the birch a little. i have 16 cans of black paint from walmart laying around, so i figured why paint it, rather than spend more and throw another layer of 5 on the windows, the paint was only 97 cents each lol.

woulda backed out, but dads trailer was blocking the garage

i kinda wanted to paint the whole thing, looks kinda cool black lol.

Geesh, what does that thing weigh? I cannot imagine it will make the cooper very happy. :scratch:

[pimpedout97x]

couldnt really avoid this, but it will be completely sealed and hidden. all will be good.

 

[pimpedout97x]

not glued in yet, just wanted to see what it all looked like. not as many gaps as i thought. glassing it all soon and itll be perfect

 

[manaen]

Are you installing bullet proof glass too?

 

[pimpedout97x]

lol might have to

 

[manaen]

You'll have to post your readings when you get it all put together, that is some crazy stuff in a little car!!

make sure you take video on your first attempt so we can see you blow out your window seals

 

[pimpedout97x]

LMAO for sure, vids are a must

 

[pimpedout97x]

baffle = on for good.

braced it, and the port. the 2x4 really helped the bottom of the port.

and the gaps that need to be sealed up with wood first, then glassed over.

and the pics you all have been waiting for

 

[manaen]

Does that box even meet the CF specs for those large speakers? seems like it may be on the small side. just curious...

 

[pimpedout97x]

its a tad small, but still within range. its about 12 cubes net, after bracing/subs/port

 

[pimpedout97x]

kicker 1/0, and kicker 4awg wire FTW

the blue is getting swapped for matching black/gray. he gave me blue on accident.

went from these gaps on the sides

to this

trim panel will cover all this. had to cut it like this to get it past the B pilliars, unfortunately

sub is hella close to the top of the port.

 

[freeridejunkie87]

that is the biggest box in the smallest car ive ever seen haha... that should be rad when its all done
