2007 CTS-V build finally complete! Pic heavy
I finally finished my install. I started three months ago, took my time, learned a lot, and know what to do differently next time. For now, here's what I have. I hope to start tuning it this week.
One thing I improved but not pictured was the sound deadening on the doors. I ended up completely covering the window motor and space behind the door control module with CLD. The plastic liner was vibrating against the back of the door panel before I completely sealed it up.
I am waiting on magnets to be delivered so I can attach the grills I printed to the woofers. I am also planning to have an acrylic grill made to go over the sub .
Excuse the cracked windshield. It formed from a chip while it was sitting in my driveway.

So how does it sound? Are you happy with it? Also...holy huge driver Batman. That has got to be the deepest sub I've seen to date. Did you get the volume of the box to fit that driver?

So far I am very happy. I have not yet tuned it - hopefully this weekend. The box volume is a bit short of "optimum", but modeling in WinISD shows that I only lose 1-2 dB below 80 Hz with the volume I have. It is generously stuffed with polyfill, which should help. Overall I got about 2.75 cu ft after driver displacement, with optimum being 4 cu ft. I was worried about it being over 25% smaller, but the DSP will help with that.
One of the first tracks I played was Feel the Bass (DJ Magic Mike)... that shit was BONKERS!!!
