Most of the amp rack outline has 2 layers of 1.5oz chopped mat.. weaker areas have 3. Its pretty sturdy.. but thats JUST a bonus. I only used glass for cosmetics. Started glassing box base gaps too..

So, about a week ago.. I noticed that my car sounded like a Honda whenever I accelerated.. No matter the RPM.. But above 5k.. Wow... LOL Anyway, I put my car up on my boy's lift. We took a look, and my front flex pipe was leaking. This was a bit of a pain because I got my original flex pipe started leaking like a yr and a half ago, so I got an aftermarket down pipe. Top is OEM, bottom is 3SX. You can see what broke.. So I went to an exhaust shop yesterday to get this fixed. The guy told me that a clogged cat could be causing that. I thought about it for a second, and it sorta made sense. Maybe the heat could be eating up the flex section. So, he replaced the flex pipe, and we removed a little restriction Heres a SHORT clip.. My sister hit the "stop" button by accident. For what I did, Im happy :good: Catback will come at some point and time.. After lowering.

you have the patience of a god! i tried glassing once... once a long time ago. my buddy and i were gonna do 3 10s. well we built the sides of the box got some fleece stretched it over laid the glass... 2 hours later of just sanding i called a few more buds and ended up paying them to sand. we did get a Lil crazy with the design but still that's made Me always shy away from glass!
so for you to do that in a night... your my hero!

Ok.. So Im planning everything to be good now, but still work for when I upgrade. My box will be built around a batt rack that can hold 3 Group 24 batts.. like XS Power XP2000s. The C&D will be replaced with the XS, and ill have room for 2 more when I upgrade power. The box should work perfectly for these lvl 4s, but I hope they work for XLs or Zv4s when I upgrade. I was told that its a go. Showing the batt rack some more.. When the glue dries, Im glassing all the corners/cracks. The box will be reinforced with 3/4" wooden dowel rod (HD was out of 1"). I want to do the baffles first bc i don't want any dowels to block the sub/ports

Nice progress. Link to them battery terminals? What brand 100.4? Do you know Kevin Fickling? He makes everything. Heres a link to their main page: www.cnfdistribution.comThe "100.4" (at 12.8 volts) is made by Populus Audio. They're a brand new company.. but use Zenon boards, and a friend owns it. Between the price, testing numbers, and claimed numbers.. I simply couldn't say no LOL
