Skip the power cells and go straight for the Mr. Fusion setup.
Nice, big amp. Was it re-spec'd when your friend re-conditioned it? Oxidation=noise. Just curious how it re-tested.
I have an old, old Concord HU with a Dolby C noise reduction unit in my closet.
You wanna buy it from me

Nother update and some pics
So the warehouse was out of the 4ohm subs so they have to come from TN. I should have those by Tuesday. The metal brackets should be done by Wednesday. I might have to "stop by" the shop this week to get my sub box finished. Anyhow, here's some shots I took today with the cell phone
The modified stealthbox. Carpet on the face removed, ready for the new MDF faceplate. Shame on you JL for using such cheesey wires inside!
The new MDF faceplate took a little longer since I had to pick up a rabbet bit
Covering the new faceplate with vinyl requires a little padding to be applied
A little guff tossed torwards the boss and he decided to apply the padding (promised he would do the vinyl on Monday, we'll see..
)
This is one of the subs. This one is a 2 Ohm so its not one of mine, but visually its the same. Can you say nice surround?
Ahh cast basket construction yum! no more stamped metal basket for me.
For comparison here are the 10W3v2 JL subs I took out of the stealthbox
They're getting a little dusty...

Can't wait to see pics of the finished product 
I can't believe how chinsy the wires are in the stealthbox though, that sucks 
I'll have to upgrade mine one of these days...

Another update
I received the raw sheet metal and after a lot of measuring, my brother completed the amp riser. 16 gauge sheet metal is not the easiest to bend but he did a fantastic job (Thanks Douglas!!!!). Two fans at each end will be installed to keep the amp cool
Here's more pics of his craftsmanship, this was a flat sheet of steel when he started.
Being the perfectionist he is, he did the first bend and requested more measurements for the battery tray holding the two Kinetik HC800 power cells
All planned out ready to be cut and bent
It should be finished tomorrow. Then its off to the shop for the final stage of the install.

More progress
The battery tray is done. Just needs a few pieces of rubber to keep the power cells in place and a few whacks with a dead blow to even the lines out.
I could use some ideas on how to cover it, anyone?
just prime and paint? carbon fiber?
The amp riser needs to be lowered by 1.5 inches
On the order sheet for tomorrow:
I'm hoping to get the resized amp riser and the last of the parts by Tuesday
It would be great to get everything together on my Birthday
sooooo close now
