New build log

LOL funny you should ask that. Last week finally got the deck in. Hooked it up to factory speakers, forgetting it probably has a factory amp and voila everything functions but no sound. About an hour later it dawned on me of the 2 wires I didn't use 1 was the dimmer and the other not thinking it was needed I taped up and paid no attention to. Simple 5 minute fix pull deck out strip wires twint n tape and done sound from all 9 factory speakers. On Saturday I spent the day hacking up a computer case to make mounting rings for the Clarion 6.5 m/b in the doors. For some reason the factory 6.5s have 3 tabs around the outside for the screws into the door maing them about 1/2" too far out to screw in the clarions. I have the wood rings from the cavi but no clearance under the factory grills to raise them without hitting. Unlike the cavi there is just enough room behind to just squeeze them in. Will get some pics next weekend hopefully as they need to come out to be finished. Fronts were blown and couldn't hear the music over the noises they were making so these are just in temp for now.

1) Power wire and fuse 0ga x20'
2) Amp for sub 500-1k @ 2ohms
3) Build box for my free AB XD-12
Opinion time.....
Should I go sealed or ported?
Doesn't need to be really loud 134-6 db is fine but it must go low. I want to have the feel of 20-30hz in the back of the seat again so I am pretty much decided on big power and a sealed box.

Very cool having a center channel, how do you like it? Planning on keeping it stock/upgrading it/rip it out?
So if we manage to get our 5.1 up and running before we meet up at a comp, we'll have a 5.1 129.9 rubber match
Sealed or ported --Bro, the sq in your cavi was awesome. I gotta agree with your decision... keep it sealed if it means better sq
