HHR system build - wall, lots of mids/highs, etc

my "2 12s" build thread was too long and obviously wasn't 2 12's anymore lol, so im starting a new, more organized build thread.

first off, heres one of the amps i ordered for my mids. Lanzar Opti700x2. not sure on performance yet, but i've heard the opti line is good. i needed a HUGE 2ch, and this one does the power i need, 950rms x 2 @ 2 ohm stereo., about 230w per mid :)

if i dont like this, i may sell it and get a Sundown 200.4, which does 950-1000w actual power x 2 @ 2 ohms stereo. not sure yet, but this lanzar is HUGE (compared to my crescendo 4ch amp)



taking back seats out:





interior panels gutted:



starting the frame for the box:

On the back your going to want to put a couple 2x4s going vertically on the back. Otherwise looks pretty good! :thumps up:

Well depends what you do. If you have the subs load against that wall most def add one 2x4 vertically in the far back at least.

just asking why are you spending the money on birch instead of mdf cheaper and just as strong. also easy to work with
