www.wcCarAudio.comWell the time has come. My son is finally ready to upgrade his stock sound system to something better. I know he has wanted it from day one but i am always busy and he was always in school during the day. So now that he is graduated high school (great grades BTW) we have more time to do stuff together. He has been helping out a TON at the shop so i decided to help him out with some gear. My name is Steve Meade after all...so who am i not to help my kid get some beat with the resources i have? Anyhow, nothing is free here, it cost me some $ but not too bad considering i am a dealer now. Anyway, we aren't going to go ape shit. We are aiming for a nice clean install with some bump. Over time, if the crazy bass bug hits him, he can upgrade all he wants. I think what we picked out will be a nice, well rounded first system for him...and for anyone if you ask me.
The box is made of 1" MDF, Glue and nails with one 2x3" brace in between the subs.
Also, we plan on making the box look nice in the back. Nothing to wild. I want HIM to build this and we are going to start out with the basics. I had him open up the book and we are building from recommended specs for this first enclosure. We used 4" Tube ports with a nice round over on them.
Anyway, i LOVE showing him how to do stuff and then watching him get it done on his own. He did 99% of what you see in the pics below. I will post updates as we get more progress done.
FYI: As you can see in this video, we did a 1/4" recess on the face of the box. P3 12's aren't that heavy and there is still 3/4" of MDF under them. AND a brace. It is FINE. Honestly, this box is solid as hell. We did that small recess on the subs to give it a nice clean look but it didn't effect the rigidity at all.
Planned equipment so far:
(1) Sony CD / Bluetooth H.U.
(1) Rockford Fosgate P1000.1 (on Lows)
(1) Rockford Fosgate P300.2 (on Highs)
(2) Rockford Fosgate P3 12" Subwoofers
(1) Set Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-s
more possibly? subject to change of course!
