The onset of the car sound disease - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, 2.7 L, 2000

I warn you right away, the first part will be of little interest to anyone - here is a look from the side of a beginner, no exclusives, etc. so, purely for history :))
So, let's get started :)
The disease with car audio passed completely imperceptibly, but I think it was so for many - my sidekick I decided to make myself a box for a sub. started together, both had no idea what was what, that is, we were just ZERO :)
he took a 12 "Alp E-shku head, made a phasic with a volume of 40 liters under it. And here I got ... specifically ... I SO liked to saw the box under this sub, that I immediately caught fire and made something for myself :) for at the beginning the active subic (1 photo) was removed from the family car (it was not used there) but I did not dare to put it myself and gave it to the local "studio", it seemed to be playing great. but after my sidekick and I finally finished his box and bought and installed a VCL (some kind of mystery) (photo2) - that was yes! although the most amazing thing is that a friend eventually moved away from this topic, he was not hooked, but I got hooked specifically :))))) I understood that I urgently need to make my own subic, and preferably two :)
I don’t know why myself, but I decided to look for 10 "and two. The searches were a couple of weeks, in the end the choice fell on the Hertz EC250 (by the way, a very cool budget head, it is the old version, now it’s not that), the construction of the box began. I decided to do everything in stages - first 1 subic, then the second sub, then the second sub. I started having problems - the cap was constantly knocking - in general, I changed them 3-4 pieces in the end, after they gently hinted to me that they would not change anymore, but it was better for me to take the money, I decided to look for another subic, in the end I came to the SVR1042D alp.
by this time, he had already changed the GU for the pioneer 6800MP - in principle, an excellent Boska for those times and for that kind of money - 3 pairs of rulers, aux, regulation of the sub (level, phase, cuts) in general for a beginner - just an ideal, by the way, still in the garage lies :)
by this time I had already read, had seen a lot of interesting things on the Internet and decided to do everything in a "serious" way with a raised floor under the Wuxi, fashionable lighting, full noise, etc. :))))) on this we will finish the first stage of the disease, now I will start to write the second one (because there is already more or less normal system turned out)
PS In general, I decided to describe everything in this way in stages, just so that newcomers do not think that records and generally good installations are made only in studios and somehow " professionals ". It is enough just to start, no matter where, the main thing is to "hook".
And by the way, just a couple of months before the "illness" I was in America - I watched a lot of mainly SPLny cars - I didn't understand wildly and thought "what kind of idiots listen to music like that"? Now I understand :)))))
