Re: Refining "Sierra"

Its a wrap! (Pun intended) Its been a lot of years since I built speaker boxes, and covered them. That was back in the days of my stereo sound of competition, and I have forgotten a few things since then. It took a few attempts in design and fitment, and my OCD still isnt 100% happy.

Regardless, I finaly said enough is enough and finished the install last night. We did some initial tuning and we are pleased with it so far. If your looking for window rattleing 50 hertz and below bass, this little unit wont do it. If you want nice tight bass with a decent thump check this Kenwood all in one out.

The 5x10s performed excellent. The box we built truly brought them to life with a broad range of crisp rear fill, and some very hard hitting mid bass. I was concerned that the position would make them dominant, but Chris has tuned them out enough that they dont take over.

We still have to rweak the 6.5s in the kick panels. They sound a bit flat, and go muddy when we bring them up. Im going to take a look at thier enclosure and see if I cant make them better.

Im ready to bolt the seat back down, and finish the filler trim. We have to get on with this project. Lonestar Throwdown is not far away.

BTW-One of the POs installed a vinyl storage pouch, hence the row of holes. Those will be filled in soon.
