Here is my 2000 camaro SS i bought a few weeks ago. not wasting any time making it better!
Car has a ton of bolt on performance goodies as well as suspension goodies.
T-tops
6-speed.

Im sure gearheads worldwide are going to hate me for this but **** em! Its my car and i bought it to do exactly this.

Its going to be hell fitting 18+cubes, batteries, and amps but im up to the challenge.



Here is a few teaser shots untill real progress is made.



My buddie Chris helping me out before the last USAC show.


getting it all cleaned out!!



On with the box build. Im shooting for 18 cubes.

well i got a little more done today. I seemed to have kinda hit wall (no pun intended) on how to make all the angles match up right. i had boy wonder (CcnncC) come over to help me out.
We built the front 2x4 frame that the front baffles will attach to and fit the batteries in also. Not huge progress but I have a better plan now atleast. heres a few pics.


Here is where i was having problems visualizing how to make this come together. should get it finished tomorrow


i picked up two 145Ah powerware batteries from RAM designs to add to the couple batteries i already had.
In the back now i have 2 rebadged group 34 dekas, 1 group 31 deka and the 2 powerwares. thats about 500Ah of reserve for now. i have room for more in the future if needed.
Once i make all the trim panels fit right and make a few new ones it will all kinda blend. im not sure what marerial im wrapping everything in. maybe black suede.



A few of the factory panels trimmed and placed just to see how its gonna lay out.
.

Well i have made some progress. just about everything has been purchased exept all the pretty items.
the wall is just about ready for front baffles, fiberglassing is just about done.

Im a busy busy man lately. scored a govt contract as NASA so that has been taking alot of my time recently and my little family, please be patient.

2x 18" SSA ZCONS
Stetsom 10k
SOME MORE BATTERIES!!!
Wire
All purchased and waiting to make a loud bang!!

Stetsom 10k



1056 Ah worth of batteries HOT Dung Pile!!



And of course the BEAST ZCONS



The inside fiberglassed, almost ready for front baffles

well here is a small update. i redid the battery bank a little so i could fit all 8 in the back making the full 1050 Ah reserve.
also i worked on the inside of the box getting final touches of fiberglass before running out. ill finish that tomorrow. i cut my first baffle and layed out the port design and sub placment. I also added a 2nd layer to the top panel. will be three layers once the port is in. heres a few pics.

well i got my 2nd baffle cut for the wall. home depot was out of birch, so oak will do it. used a paper template for a perfect fit. no trimming needed at all.
tomorrow i will make the port and cut out the holes for the 18s.



Heres the seat in the all the back position.
plenty of room.

Played hookie today and got a little more work done.
Baffles and port finally finished. still need secured and dressed up. Took a little to work on my wiring some more today also.
Found a good spot for my volt meter. calibrated it and installed that, put the dash back together, and did my RCAs.



Say hello to my little port!!!!

And just for some initial wall testing. checking for leaks and what not. A sundown SAE1200 @ [size="5"]2 OHMS[/size]

Got a present today from fedex today as scheduled.

well we got back from the beach a little early today. got an hours or so to build all thread amp rack and mount the amps but thats about it.

Things left to do before i can make a bang.
swap out old ass 2v pioneer for my Alpine 9887
pull subs and rewire with gold terminal posts from parts express
remove broken drywall screws from front wall baffle. (replacing screws with better ones) ZCONS>drywall screws
wire up terminals to amps.
run new RCAs and remote gain wires.
drill and tap new terminals in one of my C&D540s


very soon i need to get my new alternator and do big 3.( yeah i know)

4 selenium 6"s
6 selenium supertweeters ( probably not using all 6 lol)



Also just ordered my Singer alternator 350A unit. may order my 2nd one after we do pay our taxes. :suicide-santa:

well im home for a couple days and while i was gone my alternator came in from Mike Singer.
started installing it today and should finish up tomorrow to test it out. The biggest alt i could get for my camaro is a 220A but i wanted bigger so i ordered a large case GM 350A unit for a truck. i can make it fit with some modification. still need to order some more 1/0 to do the big 3 and 2 more runs to the back.

Metered on TL last weekend. 158.3

that ss is a loud son of a bich.

double up that wire on the batts that one peice from each aint enough ....

I'm away this week on business but will try when I return if everyone is interested
I have 4 15s and a whole different electrical set up now.

would less intrusive supports make a difference in sound?...........wood isnt as strong as.......... other materials........ im just getting into it so, could be helpful for me to know lmao...... or maybe im looking at getting into something i would enjoy more lol.... its probably both

oh the othe question is if i can find a T/A ws6 to offer up would you be interested in returning the stock interior and even up trade>? lmao

nice.. u gave me a demo.. like the way you mounted the amps with the long screws and nuts... smart

Car now has 4 15s and 4 5ks doing 59.9
Should be loud after some testing.
