Cheers mate, it is fairly straight forward and good fun. Though I wasted a ton of time removing the old rotors since they were nice and rusted to the hubs :p

For my next major project I am redesigning and rebuilding my sound system.

Reasons for doing so I have a new bigger 4 channel amp, I want to re-cable with 0 gauge and I wanted to build a ported box since I have yet to do so.

Other things I am planning to do along with this is a floating amp rack and big 3 upgrade.

So designs of what I am planning to do...

Converted to metric and a little rounding.

I am fairly happy with this design. I got the port area per foot into that 12-16 cube range and the port ratio of 1:6 I was after. And I was looking for a tuning of 33 to 35Hz and achieved that too.

I did get only a net volume of 1.78 cubic ft (when recommended is 1.79) but I will probably have my bracing a little smaller plus I didn't add in the flared port so I should be bang on.

Note: Measurements are for one enclosure (one sub), I just copied it and flipped it over since both enclosures will be separate.

3D models. Front of box.

Without the front baffle, just to show the flared port. I had had enough by now and didn't want to put the rounded corners on the front board but you get the idea.

Some nice progress mate, love your attention to detail and doing things slightly different to every one else.
I like the wrinkle paint effect on your dash, looks good
Plus everything in this car looks neat and tidy in the photos
Nothing better than a car that is well looked after
Great work mate

Cheers, I do probably take more time than is needed to do stuff but I like to spend time on the little details.

Very nice mate! good to see your having a go at thing yourself

Cheers ASxTecH,

A little update of the sub box progress.

After spending ages measuring up the wood I cut it all out...

...and the sub hole.

Then mapped out the design on the bottom piece.

Dummy up of the design.

The port design.

Also I cleaned up the boards with marks on them and routed the edges of the port for smoother air flow.

I just need to cut out the bracing pieces and then I can start gluing the box together.

After the sides were attached I did a quick dummy fit in the boot.

While I was waiting for bits to glue I made up what will be my new fuse holder out of 1mm thick aluminum.

I sprayed it with a white base coat, then colour and finished it with clear.

What are you installing for the sound system? What speakers/amps and what size fuse?

Before you replaced the bootlid liner did you Dynamat inside the boot lid cavity? I did a big system install a year or so ago and did inside the boot lid. It resonates like a ####er if you miss deadening that lol

It will be the same gear that was previously in the car, just new design and set up. The only change was the 4 channel amp from the Focal Solid 4 to a Rockford Fosgate T600-4. The fuses will be 300 amps for the 0 gauge.

And yep I have Dynamat'ed everything because it does resonate so much in these cars.
