Usually yes, but this guy's dad owns a parts yard and has about 30+ of these console casings on the lot at any given time.So technically, it will cost about the same.
Anyone else have any nit-picking issues I can clear up?
Piss poor attitude, if you cannot take criticism/questions regarding obscure placement then... well... why are you posting in a build log?

I can take criticism where it's due, but you weren't criticizing.You tried to point out a problem where there wasn't one.
If reading weren't > you, it specifically said this wasn't some little SQ setup.It was made with one goal in mind: to get loud and sound good doing it.And it above and beyond accomplishes that.
Just because this doesn't flow with your one-minded SQ way of mind, doesn't mean it's not the right way.It's just a different style and taste.Open your eyes and your mind to different things.

"SQueers" wantin' their left tweeter to be on their left side and the right one to point remotely in their direction.

you designating that there is a "right" way also means that there is a "wrong" way. and if your way of pointing tweeters is the "right" way, then everyone that aims them in some particular direction towards the listener is "wrong", including OEM's?
"It was made with one goal in mind: to get loud and sound good doing it." -- i'm just going to point out here that that's 2... 2 goals, not one.
and if sound good is different than sq, then i guess we have a new designation... "SG".

What the hell are you talking about?Your arguement is so weak and scrambled I can barely comprehend what you are even trying to get across, much less where you are getting it from.
I won't even address your first paragraph, because it was pretty much entirely you putting words in my mouth that I never said.If you don't understand, ask questions, don't assume.
One goal.I didn't want something stricly SPL or a one note wonder, and I didn't want something that was strictly SQ, but something that would get loud while sounding good.One goal.K thanks.
Shouldn't you be wasting other people's time elsewhere on this forum like what to do when you cut your powerwire too short?
Man the second video got my hopes up. I was saying you better not close that damn hatch! but you did, get a video of the excursion of the 8teeeennzzz man! Sounds bad ass though.
Wish i could "feel" it in person

Thats pretty impressive, obviously the owner is no Steve Meade, but not bad, not bad at all
Ha no sir.You saw him in the video?
Thanks for the props though.I appreciate it.

Ha that's the next video I'll do.A lot of people have been wanting to see them and how they perform on that amp.They certainly get busy.
It shakes absolutely everything.The hood, the front grille, the running boards, the tires.It's awesome haha.

Chad you always make me grin from the proverbial bee-yotch slap.
I'm by no means a certified anything but, the grounding beneath the amp rack causes me concern. It just doesn't 'look' right. Would others do that as well? Not trying to slam you by any means, just learning like the rest here.
XSPower VCM, 240 Amp Alt., Alpine HU & Old School 3617 DSP, Soundstream Digi-Q, 2 Audiocontrol EQL's, 2 4XS crossovers, Epicenter, 2 PylePro PDN8's per door, Dayton 4” & tweet in A-Pillars, 2 MBQ 15's. Alpine MRP-F600 x3, MRP-M1000 x2. Install In progress.

Me meeeeeeee!
Sheet metal screws through a floor pan exposing the now unprotected metal in the holes to the weather? Those are sure to rust wide open in a couple of years. Bringing leaks, mildew, mildew smell.
And a safety concern.......Did you bolt down that huge mass in the back. So a unfortunate but completely survivable head on collision don't turn into a pancaking tragedy. Throwing a few bolts with a washer doesn't do much by the way. You need to spread the load out with thick metal bars attached to heavy gauge frame mounts. Take cues from the metal and contact points used on seat brackets.

The body is reinforced underneath there by more sheet metal for the seat frames underneath to mount to.This was a good spot with less resistance I felt.

Don't worry, they're siliconed underneath
As far as mounting down the box in the back, what did you mean by spreading the load out and the heavy gauge frame mounts?Where you talking about the box still or the grounds?

It does
Try undercoating next time. Cheaper, better, tougher, less of a mess to apply (if you get the canned veriety).
By spread the load I mean that the anchor points (ie bolts and washer that hold the box in place) need to be very large or attached together by something stronger or they will ripp right through the relatively soft MDF in a crash.
Better yet, don't make holes in your floor pan to hold down cables.
Agreed. That is what the carpet is for.

What kind of undercoating do you recommend or use?I'd be willing to give it a try.

As for the bolts through the cabin, just spray the underside with truck bedliner.
Pretty sweet lawnmower you must have.Where did you get it?

Couldn't say, I've never needed to use it. But I assume that any product labeled undercoating would work. Shouldn't be too hard to find one, maybe a local auto supply store.
