On the ground points I would recommend ring terminals in the future.
Nice job overall almost worth the earlier drama, eh

 

And using something that is threaded, like a seatbelt bolt as you will have more surface area for your ground bolt to ground out to other then just a little screw that doesn't actually do much other then sandwiching a ring terminal between the screw and 18awg metal.

 

The one on the chassis under the hood is held down with a wingnut underneath. It's bolted down there so tightly that you can't move the ground at all. Btw... I'll put some silicone on there right away.

Anyhow, even with this upgraded ground the lights still dim. The battery is like a month old too. I'm probably going to get the alternator rewound sooner or later.

And about the box... it only costs about $30CAD in materials to do it and everything except the wood will last you for a lot more boxes in the future.

3/4" piece of the premium MDF from HD - $24
1 1/4" drywall screws (100) - $2
Elmer's all-weather wood glue - $4
And at your discretion some silicone caulk - $3

It just takes your time to cut the wood, glue it, pre-drill the holes and put the screws in.

That device I found to be really helpful:

Why is it a waste of money [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I was looking into building a better box to make it louder

 

Looks good
