Very nice build and some great choices. I have Stevens in my last car and was extremely impressed. Excited to hear how it turns out.

Got the first few layers of fiberglass laid down today. What a messy job that is. Seems to be a decent mold and will remove it this Wknd and start building layers in my shop

What set of amps from JL Audio you getting
600/6 For GB40s and tweets
600/2 for mid bass
1000/1 for sub

is it 2 of the VX1000/5 & 1 1000watt mono block??
Are you eliminating the center speaker??

 

[Sam B]

it’s just 3 amps total
All JL VXI. 600/6, 600/2, 1000/1
Yes. Eliminating content channel. I would like to keep it. But will have plenty of speakers and tuning ability

 

[Sam B]

Decided to port the enclosure. So started modeling different subwoofer angles.

 

[Sam B]

Here you can see I got the box to the correct cubic footage and ported it to be tuned at 32 hertz.
Will start building the front up now.

 

[Sam B]

Test fit. Little bigger than I would have liked. But going ported and a large sub made it that way.
Gonna fit up well.

 

[Sam B]

Next stage. Box all done minus carpet. Working on laying out 8” mid drivers on top of existing subs and amp rack construction next.

 

[Sam B]

Staring on false floor for amp rack and will tie into mid bass box

 

[Sam B]

Replacement rear sub box. Will sit directly on top of stick box and be trimmed in.
Running 2- 8” mid bass @ 2ohm giving them 300 watts each in .55 cubic ft each.

 

[Sam B]

Dry fit

 

[Sam B]

Some updates. Working on false floor and amp rack. Amp rack will hold 3 amps, large distribution block, and DSP hub
