build Log : take 2...

[FcukThis]

Well, i posted it before the site went down the drain....
Just re posting since it all got deleted.

Where I left off..


2x Diyma
re xxx 6.5
jl 300/2
kinetik hc1400
techflex/heatstrhink etc..

Finished deadening car for the meanwhile.. Added foam all throughout crevices i could. Padded up front and rear wheel humps with 1/4" inch ensolite foam..
I'll probably go in and complete the doors with Overkill and plexiglass+liquid nails for the door openings. Probably give the outer panel a good 5-6 more layers since i got some more roof guard just sittin around.

Heres a pic of my car again.. only about 3 layers. I probably got around 8-10 ish layers on it right now. About 2 gallons worth.

whats a pain is doing all of this in a weekend because of school and Carpooling.
Basically had to strip interior Friday, get it all back in on Sunday. And i dont even have the wires in...
I'll have to Strip the entire interior once again;; when i put the wires in etc..

PIA !

----------------------------------------

Here's my attempt to recompile my build log. Monday, Sept 13, 2010. LAST EDIT.
Since the forum was wiped clean several years ago, i lost a ton of my build log.
Basically.. i will be recovering and re-posting everything that happened between 10-20-2008 to 7-13-2010. The date at which i left off on, and the date i began logging.

Just to re verify, and put it out there, the project has been off and on. I haven't been working on the project for two years straight.
I started the project when i was in my junior year of high school with very limited resources and knowledge.

So here we go ?... I 'll my best to narrate the pictures... It's been a long time so forgive me if i don't remember exactly what i did.

I bought the 2 8w7's as an experiment..
I wasn't really serious on buying them until i realized how cheap they were being sold for.
I couldn't let the opportunity pass me up.. so out of curiosity i bought a pair.
I just had to put the hype to the test.

I ran across a tutorial online [diyma].. of a guy utilizing concrete tubes to make a cheap and effective enclosure.
So hey, i tried it out.

Drew up the plans, sketched it out.


And i made it happen. My first test subwoofer box! Cost me 20 bucks.






Size reference




I wish i have you all experience the w7's.. they were nuuuts
Hopefully this video will justify them... I would upload it to youtube, but i lost the raw video file.. (tell me if this works)
