Major Teaser!!!!

[reefguy89]

Yep thats right i just did that. Stay tuned over the next few months as i begin my first audio build. Some specs sofar will be a custom fitted fiberglass box housing two 10's, 2 amps, lights and plexi will also be used for a one off custom box. My ultimate goal is for high quality/performance/crispness. I dont want ****** sounding base or staticy speakers. Can anyone clarify what tweeters are and if i need them? So before i start does anyone have any reccomendations on building boxes, using fiberglass, wiring or type of equipment to use?

Equipment list
alpine speakers and sub

Amp-im open for suggestions. i want small but powerfull.

Headunit- Eventually a double din will be going in.

So this is it for now but stay tuned for updates.

If its your first time using fiberglass, really take your time or even better practice making something first. And the more the better

Just take your time and make it look neat. You dont need tweeters, I dont have any so I have no idea what kind of a difference they make.

looking forward to the progress

oh and thought Id mention, instead of plexi, might try lexan, its alot stronger and durable then plexi

I believe you can, and I believe it spreads the light better..but I could be wrong..I can let you know sometime this week I think...if you know what I mean :********:

tweeters are nice to have they increase vocal so you hear the song and not just bass. i have a set up front and in back. major difference

I may have to pick some up then...my bass from my box kinda drowns out the voices in the music and it annoys me sometimes, thought I just needed new speakers lol

 

[reefguy89]

when it come to air space is it possible to have to much? also for the ttpe r's 10's it says the Displacement: 0.07 cu. ft (Front Mount) and the Added Volume: 0.04 cu. ft. (Reverse Mount, Magnet Out). what does that mean?

 

[reefguy89]

Ok so i started breaking down the interior today. I didnt get as far as i would have like cause i didnt have a torx bit big enough to take of the seatbelts. So i got the back tray out any tomorrow after i get some torx sockets i will have the back wall off also. as for the speakers in the back panel they will be moved up to the corner of the cab along with some tweeters.




heres what i have to work with for space. these are with the seats all the way back and resting on the back of the cab.

 

[TexasRammer]

Cool, cant wait to see this finished

 

[ramhunter9]

Use a flat head screw driver and vise grips if you dont have the T20 .

 

[reefguy89]

heres a crappy rendering of what i want it to look like. the center will have a recessed compartment then storage on top. the amps are gonna mount one on top of the other on the back wall. the part where the subs are gonna be rounded more once i get the fiberglass on.
