I started my build the correct way and started worrying about my electrical. I started with my mechman elite 250, big 3, then went full stupid and bought a limitless lithium battery. I wanted to custom mount the battery hidden out of sight. I noticed this little pocket did some measuring and made it fit.

As you can see I made sure all my power and grounds were the same length and flowed together. I have 2 powers and 2 grounds for my bass amp. And 1 power and ground for my mids amp. I used all 1/0 for both amps. For the bass amp I had to use dual inputs and the mids amp I used 1/0 to 4awg reducers to keep the power flowing good.

I was having some cooking issues so I thought on a previous amp so I mounted some small pac fans on the seat and it flows pretty good.

Next came my subwoofer box. I paid bassahaulic from Facebook to build me a design. I did this as I can fabricate and install. But I have never been into figuring out boxes. Once I got my design I picked up my wood. It’s all 3/4” birch all doubled up. I spent a crap ton on it but I wanted it right. As you can see by the pics I made sure to match up the wood grain so it wraps around the whole box. I used a 10” aeroport from bigassports. The hole for the port was the same size as the subs lol.

As y’all can see I spent a lot of time putting together a decent system. I was very **** about how things looked and fit. I wanted everything to be hidden as if I just have the sub box in the back and that’s it. On a lower powered amp I hit a 148.35 sealed on the dash and higher with the drivers door open. My goal is to get a 150 out of this setup. I’m going to try and do some competing. And to be honest with everyone this is my first system in years. Probably since I was in high school and I’m 32 now lol. If you have any questions or suggestions please reply.

I don't have a huge system, don't care about chasing numbers. Two Powerbass DVC 10's in a rear enclosure, two SVC PB 10's in a center console, will be running them more as midbass to anchor the image up front a bit more.

Console is 75% carpeted now, have to take the seats out to take the base out. Used to have the center jump seat, tore it all apart and used the mounting brackets for the base, so I wouldn't have to screw through the floor.

My best score is 158.6db. Four nsv3 18s on a crossfire 8k from a cpillar Wall
That’s a dam good number for a c pillar. I want to do a c pillar but for now I’m happy with this. Sundowns are good but they take a shit load of power. Hell unless your wired down to .25 they need more power . I started with an x15 and a shit box but at the time I was like I don’t have enough power. Then I sold it and bought my lithium lol.

I like the box in the side of the back there.
