Topic: Project: Better Bass By Extra Kim
If I have the time and monye I will be there Jörgen, monye is the biggest problem I guess An little update.. I had to cut up the port to be able to get inside the box, the port was 8" and now itīs ~10", I will add two boards to the port to get it back to 8". I added some 2"x3" to the portwall. The others side. And then I added some boards. When it was time to put in the baffle I had called my friend Mattias to give me some help since I had a feeling that it would be hard to get it inside the box. I was right Mattias weigh ~90kg and the baffel didnīt move at all when he jumped on it.. -------------------- -04 Extreme Fiesta -05/06 Fat Bass CRX -09 The "Better Bass Project"

Wow, it looks like you have a very good start on this. I'd love to see it finished and in person, but the chances of that happening are very slim. Keep up the good work, and try not to hold off too long on the pics -------------------- TEAM SUNDOWN AUDIO 2009 NSPL Car 1801-3600 Watt Record Holder: 151.2db 2009 NSPL Car 3601-Up Watt Record Holder: 152.6db 2009 NSPL Car Hardcore Record Holder: 155.2db 2009 NSPL Car 3601-UP, Car Hardcore, and Car Points World Champion

Front, the "portblocker" to get the port size back. Just first layer with paint, I have some ideas for the inside but I want to test the box first. The box are VERY heavy right now, used this to flip it on the side. Had to get the box out from the garage today and my mom and I had big problems moving it. But problems just need to be solved so I used tubes to roll the box on The tubes we used to move the box. My moms dog didnīt like the box... -------------------- -04 Extreme Fiesta -05/06 Fat Bass CRX -09 The "Better Bass Project"

Did some small test today with the box in the garage with a PA-amp. Did want to push it so I hooked it up @ 8ohm stereo. Didnīt look that nice, but hey it worked Since I was using my phone as player I used one of my Overdrive to get some gain on the signal. -------------------- -04 Extreme Fiesta -05/06 Fat Bass CRX -09 The "Better Bass Project"

Deep for sure! Didnīt push the box at all, just played with low power. Thereīs some leaks between the woofers and the box so I will use the original rubber "rings" to solve that. Didnīt get much done yesterday, I was here: And bought some batteries. "Only" got five of them, but I found out that thereīs more space left in the car if I want to add more, but for now I have other expenses on the car that I have to spend my monye on. Didnīt take any good pics of the batteries I did two ugly boxes to house four of the batteries, but they wonīt be viewable when the box is in the car anyway, will do some more to them. They will be screwed together with the box later on. Other side. The fifth battery will be under the hood. -------------------- -04 Extreme Fiesta -05/06 Fat Bass CRX -09 The "Better Bass Project"
