Haha I turned on the DCI's "tap" feature, which expands the use the of dash controls and I was quite confused at first because the button layout/functions had changed on me!

This is unrelated, but I need to vent-

The shop that repaired the ding left a fat drip on the paint they did. They are claiming it was there already... Yes. A multi-level drip on my factory paint job. Good call.



Going to go postal on their asses.

I recently had my rear bumper resprayed. They over sprayed a 1/4" spot near the fuel cap. I had to use compound to rub it away. I didn't want to come back to the shop.


My box. I am almost done. Just need to sand and carpet. I was going to build a ring around the sub to make it flush but my router tip was so worn out, I skipped it.

Looks like your making good progress!

I'm waiting for my sub to get in to do final test fitting before carpeting.

My woofer came in today, so I will be test fitting and performing some final adjustments and hopefully I left myself enough carpet to get this bad boy done!

Now keeping it from moving in the car... I haven't figured that one out. I was thinking Velcro somehow... It is QUITE snug as is, but with the vibrations of the woofer I could imagine it shaking a bit.

velcro is pretty good. there's some high grip version that holds super strong.

you can also cut holes into the side panels and run straps through.

Behind the carpeting, there is a part of the frame that runs along the fender side with holes drilled in it. You can drill a hole thru the back of the box and put a bolt thru. I would get a bumpstop and cut it shorter and put a piece on the inside and outside of the box and slicone it.

Good call. I think I will use the lower push pin location and just replace it with a stainless steel bolt, and drill a hole in the box, use a thick rubber grommet on either side of the bolt. Then possibly silicone it from the inside.

Box is pretty much done, I want to put some resin around the terminals to secure it, drill some pilot holes for the sub, and that's about it.

FYI, I have a JL grill already for the sub, but that will go on last.

Here's some picture:
