Cuztom Fiberglass Sparetire Well

[Vanished]

Ok, SO. The project begines. What do i have? The components are

Alpine type-R 12 inch Subwoofer (500WRMS)
Pheonix Gold X600.1 Amp (600RMS)

I was thinking about all the crazy ways of setting this up, then i finaly came up with this. Why not save some room, and put the sub into my spare tire well? Of course the easiest way was to fiberglass. I took me a night to fiberglass this entire thing. This is how it looks so far.





So basically the port goes in the smaller hole, subwoofer in the bigger one. The amp goes on the stage beside it, angles of course..now from here, basiclally all i do is make a false floor out of wood, carpet it and put it over top of EVERYThing...2 holes in it for the port and sub, and a plexiglass window with ventalation for the amp...i'll update when i get more done!

The pictures were taken with a digital camera that i bought at XS Cargo for $17.99. By the way. Heres a test pic of my gf, not bad for 20 bucks..

What do you mean, what do you mean? Trim it out. Integrate it into the trunk. Vinyl. Carpet. Trim panels. That kind of crap.

That shouldn't break your amp, just drive it really far into distortion. There's a thousand times greater chance you broke your speaker more than breaking your amp from turning the gain too high. Did you verify the speaker was still good? Then next culprit would be the grounds. Did you grind the paint and primer away to bare metal where you made the ground connection?

[Vanished]

no i turned the gain nob past 0. The nob broke. The reason why i know its the nob is because when i turn it the sub pops. They (Hitek, repair place) got a new knob for me, and it shoudl be ready by next week. And yes, the ground is fine. It was the one i used before.

[lakersfan1]

Ah. You broke the whole knob off then? That's pretty conclusive.
