Test fit,

Switched on subs for first time.
After about 30 mins of tuning I got something I was really happy with.

Both subs do sound different, I get a really low base note with the NSSUB and a tighter sound from the unported OSSUB

Really happy so far

Had a few questions re why i have done certain things on this build. Trust me everything i have done has been done for a reason.

1. I still need to access my spare wheel. The entire floor will lift up and attach to the metal cage under the parcel shelf when i need to remove the spare wheel. problem is if i ever plan to fit this into the car/ remove from the car it must be narrow enough to fit through the width of the boot lit. this means that when the floor is slip into the boot i will need 2 filler pieces on either side of the floor (will show these later)

2. I need the fans only to work when the Amps are turned on (hence the fan relay) - switch wire is the amp switch wire

3. I need the lights to work only when the boot lid is open (hence the light relay) - switch wire is the boot interior light

The amps will each be sitting in an air tight chamber (well as air tight as i can) there are a total of 6 fans, (2 sets of 3)

The first set of fans come on when the radio is turned on. cold air comes in on the left chamber a fan takes this air through to the second chamber (with the smaller amp) and a third fan expels the heat from the second chamber.

The second set of fans come on when a preset air temperature is reached which should double the air flow traveling through each chamber.

all lighting / switches / temp displays will be mounted on the underside of the truck lid, so when you open up the lid they will be at head height and easily within reach

Let there be light
