PHATBOi

Reason being?

My ghetto cut sheet, lulz. Top and bottom are 30 x 15.5 obviously. Didn't want to cut the full front then have to cut out the port hole so I refigured the demensions to the way I want to build it. Anyone feel like checkin my math please? Thanks.

First Vid of 2012, Last Vid of the Skar.

Current setup: Skar VVX-12D2 in a BHE 2.0^3 @ 30Hz Box. (Pending payment) on the RUB1.2500D at 1 ohm. Sounds really good. Rubicon is definitely cleaner than the American Bass. Have the gain almost 1/2 on the Skar at vol 52/62 and it is takin it better than it did the VFL100.1 I traded for the 15 imo.

Wood is 23/32 cabinet ply from HD. $26.97 a sheet FTMFW! Smooth Side

My first official box design. Thanks to BYC for teh sketchup. When I build, 45's will be 2x2's ripped down the middle on a 45 and a 2x2 frame inside the box will give me something to screw the panels to. Sub/port forward into cabin, sealed off from trunk in this area. That's about does it for now. Should be gettin wood this weekend, but might be next. Goals are obviously teh lows. But, I have been doin 12's in the trunk lately and while they kill the lows, it's just not enough output for me. So, I got a bigger sub, bigger amp, and I'm sealing off the trunk. Think it will work?

You owe me a demo Justin, lol. I sat in the Blazer with the 2 21's first, then you sat in my car the day Robin delivered the MT/PSI 12, now it's your turn again. Can't wait to catch you at a show. I should have something solid to demo myself soon.

Yeah, that's the way I do it. If the stock alt charges both batts fine and your not droppin below 12-12.5 full tilt then eff the HO alt imo.

ok kool, thanks well time to up the fusing a bit. also gonna get me a voltmeter while im at it. Both good ideas. Do you have the big 3 done? That will help alot as well.

Damn. Am I not askin nice enough or somethin? Can somebody with some type of box design knowledge please tell me if I'm even in the right ball park here? Thank you.

Didn't have number of common port walls entered, lol. Dropped tuning to 29Hz.

Just build in the car. That's how I'm bout to do my Alpha Max 15 I'm gettin. Or trade for a nice 15. You have the advantage of having a large driver and needing a smaller one. Look around on the forums, I'm sure someone has a quality 15 that would trade for your 18. There's always a way, just gotta figure it out. BTW, as much as I am impressed with my VVX-12, I would NEVER trade anything Fi for anything Skar. Two totally different class of subwoofers. Just sayin.

So my inner port wall will go back 19 and then 90 for another 16 to get the 35" of length?

Alright, sub is now a RD Alpha Max V1/PSI 15D4 on the 2 APSM-1300's strapped for 2K at 2 ohms. Adjusted for more displacement from sub and brought my tuning up to 31 even. I like it.

Subs $2K Amps $1K Plexi $150 Havin a 4 18 wall and still being able to use your rearview mirror - PRICELESS!!

Sub is 1 Audiopipe TXX-BF15D4 4" voice coil 1200 rms sub on 2 APSM-1300 1K at 1 ohm amps strapped at 2 ohms for 2K rms, btw.

WRONG! Sorry, not trying to talk ish, but this is dead wrong. The reason it is said to set gains with head unit volume at 75% is because your head unit can clip the signal at high volumes before it ever even hits the amps. I personally didn't follow this rule for a long time and paid dearly in abused damaged equipment. I now run my Pioneer at 50 out of 62 for max volume and gained up a little on the amp resulting in a louder and cleaner sound. Can also play lower due to the cleaner signal not heating my coil as much. This is also all on a 600 rms sub with 1500 rms going to it daily with no issues. Like I said, not trying to be a dick, just callin it like I see it. Low volume, PROPER gain is the way to go. And you definitely need an adjustable ssf when tuning and playing that low.

Flipped it back. Just ready to be done with it for a while and don't feel like sealin it off properly. Got everything where I want it. Sounds good and I'm going to just enjoy it for a while.

Sorry for the poor quality vid, other camera is dead and I has no AA's ftl. Absolutely Lovin the Skar! Noticeably louder and lower and I can't get it warm with the gain at almost 1/2 way and the sub on +2 outa 4 at the head unit. Sub is still pretty damn stiff too. Think it still has some breakin in to do. Will get better vid when I get some AA batts.

Squeezed some 8w4p's in my 03' Protege front doors. Way louder than the 6w4p's they replaced.

Nice!

Sorry...

Tight work on everything bruh. Sux the truck got recked. Glad it's gettin fixed. GLWNB!
