This topic will contain the rebuild of my system. Not really going for looks, but it may turn out decent looking. I'm going for all out SPL.

The only thing I got done today was the flooring. It extends into the trunk to bring everything up level. This is a lot more sturdy than what I had before so I don't think I'll have any problem with anything shifting on top of it. The only pics I have of, right now, are the interior shots of the flooring. He ya go.

Like I say, not much to look at right now, but, will be soon as the build continues. I would have kept on doing things today, but it's damn hot out there.

There will be 2 enclosures at 5.5ft^3 each. They'll be right in the middle of the flooring. Some of the enclosures will actually extend into the trunk. I'm still working on figuring what subwoofers I'll be using, but will probably go back to my original idea of using Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection 12"s.

The black cloth you see is going to cover the back and side windows. May also cover half of the headliner, to make everything come together.

This build is going to take some time to finish. There are a few reasons for this. 1) I am waiting on another Bx-2005D AND another Bx-1500D amplifiers. 2) I'm doing this in my free time while still daily driving the car. I don't have much free time right now at work. 3) I need 4 subs and will have to order them seperately, which sucks, but after paying bills, I don't have much money left afterwards. 4) Not exactly sure where I am gonna go from here. I am planning as I go, trying things on the spot. If they don't work, I switch it up a little.
That's it for now. :)

I'd forgot I even posted this here. Everything is on hold for a little while, but I will tell you some of what is being done.

First off, I want to thank A.J. for the 1/0 power wire. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but will probably next weekend.

Going to Thomasville next week to see Neill. Working on getting 4 T3s from him. Hopefully this will pan out good.

Also working on some more amplifiers.

I will take pics as I get things done, but not planning to unviel everything until next season. Then I will come out swinging. Planning to hit as many shows next season as possible, from Fl to Ga.

Next season is going to be a fun one and I am making it a goal to represent FloridaSPL and dBDRA as best I possible.

Well, I contacted MatrXX today about some 15s and 18s. All I can say is WOW!!!!! :shock:
I think I'm going to try going with Fi audio instead. It would cost me 3,520, roughly, to equip my car with 4 15s from MatrXX. I was quoted 900-1200 for the 18s depending on dual or quad coils and ohms. Was told around $20 cheaper for the 15s..

$3k is far too much money to put into just the subs. Then I'd need the amps to push them...

Not trying to knock the company or anything, as I'm sure the equipment is good, but, that's just not in my wallet at any time.
