Fosgate : 1500wrms into 2ohms at 12 volts. 750wrms into 4 ohms at 12 volts. I'll be running at 3 ohms, so I expect a solid ~900wrms out of that bad boy.

Old stuff - not to be reused. May sell them or trade them.

Completed the false floor bottom today. Tomorrow I lay a final skim of 'glass resin and eDead. Then I bolt it all down and glass it in.

UPDATE

When I laid down the Frost King/Reflectix almost 18 months ago, I promised myself that I would never do this again.
I hated every minute of the Frost King mod...

Unbelievably... here I am... again... doing the same mod... unreal...

Luckily, eDead is MUCH more user friendly than Frost King. Night and day difference. It lays down like Dynamat Extreme (I did the inside and outside of my the doors in DE last year).

Cleaned the area with acetone again then laid down a layer of eDead v2 over the entire trunk and tubs and mounted the false floor base.

More details in the main thread.

UPDATE

Woodworking is definitely not my forte. It may not look like much, but it took me all day to finish this...

Finally finished the false floor and did a dry fit of the sub ring.

Tomorrow, I will figure out the actual logistics of how I am going to finish this project, and just jump in and get it done. I now have a pretty good idea of how the final product will look...

..... and I bought 10 yards of fleece today...

Finished the top cover


Cutouts with Lexan still need to be done


With the roll cage in the way, there is not a lot of space for amps and stuff...




The sub will actually be further back - in the centre of the empty space


It's a bit misleading because it is so far forward.
