More Sub Updates

We put the sub into the box and we found a problem....

Because its so fucking big it crashed out on the back of the box, so we had to mate three speaker rings to step it out a total of 44mm!

We then started to make the port for the box, it had to be 7'' tall by 2'' wide by 22'' long, so we made an L shape to still keep it 22'' long but it was actually 18'' by 4''

still needs smoothing and sanding and final touches!

the de-wipered bit looks awsome man, u must of got a realll good freind to do that :)

Hahahaha max you dick!!

Update

Cut the port hole on the front baffle of the sub box

need to do a lot of sanding and filling to make everything smooth though!

Did a test fit of the box in the car, looks pretty sweet IMO...

Fairly close to my 20cm though hahahahahah

AMP is purchased now and have ordered wiring so the install will be coming along nice and fast now hopefully!

Got rubber on the BBS

GOT LOWS

Bought myself some FK Highsport Coilovers, Dropped 70mm front 55mm back (Winter lows), thought I would spend a little more for that extra bit of build ad ride quality

Shot next to Max's bug

Need my front wheels sorting out badly though!!!

More updates to come soon.........

Yeee boy ! Get it down somewear for 4 wheel alignment mate then it should be reet :)

Aww gutted for you mate

You ok though? A head on can't be pleasant

The problem you have on the front, is where you would have bolted the bottom of the suspension leg because the holes are wider than the bolts, there is some play so to make it a lot better just un-tighten the two bolts, and get someone to pull on the top of the disc while you tighten them back up :)

ok man thats good to know :) cheers!

Generaly it helps when u put the topmount bearings back in Haha, keem37 your advise was good looks loads better

My wheel looked like that when my bearing had went

Need you to finish your sub to motivate me to start mine

Had to get my tracking done really badly after looking at this the other day!

Steely Stance!

Couldn't resist putting the BBS on and I also had the tracking done and dropped it more!

looking tidy dude, please tell me you dropped it more before tracking it

looking tidy dude, please tell me you dropped it more before tracking it

nope i made that mistake:( haha agh well i may go back and just say i had it done and it seems to be pulling a little

yess joe! looks mint now man

Another Update

Car went for a wash at the weekend, doesn't look too bad when its clean haha

Removed my rear view mirror and tweet surrounds to spray them satin black

Some sexy coloured wire to be installed! finally getting the amp in soon haha

Sub is in!!!!

Added a bit onto the corner to fill up a gap

Cut back the mounting rings so they didn't block the port

Cut back the excess fiberglass from the edge of the box but left a bit so when I fiberglass fill it it will have something to hold on to

Sanded everything down to make sure that everything that needed to be smooth was smoothed

Started to apply fiberglass filler to smooth in my mounting rings

My friend Max Frith decided to help me out and 'borrow' some mastic sealant, hardener and wood filler from his work

So I sealed the box with all of the sealant

Put the front on and put about 10 more screws into it to make sure it will hold the sub tight then added another layer of glass filler to the mounting rings and to the edges of the box to seal it

Stripped the back end to get all the wiring in for the amp, its only temporary as we are going to make a proper amp rack to hold it so its flush the right hand side of the boot

Got the power and earth cables all tightly mounted in

All sealed with glass filler just needing to be sanded and carpeted!

Sanded down but not carpeted yet, but its in!

Amp is just screwed to the shelf for now, but now the sub is finished we can start to make the rack that will hold the amp! Ill get a video of it and post it up so you can see what all the hard work was for! haha

Comments and feedback are more than welcome!!

Looks rad man !

Really liked that sub build. It's what I had originally, then just went for a false floor! I liked having the extra space though; it was a good choice! How are you holding the box in though? :)

Looking good though bud!

I'm not holding the box in at all, because of how we built it, its so dam heavy with the wood and sub and all the fiber glass that its a bitch to put in because its suck a tight fit, so it slits right into place and doesn't move at all! haha still need to tidy up the amp and make a housing for that because all the wires are driving me mad! hate messy installs! and need to carpet it too! :)

thanks for the feed back though man

i saw you driving down london road last week with a bmx on your roof rack loving the car,

looks really good man , put some polyester fibre behind the sub in the box for a better sound ! pow
