Friend has one, wants help building a box, general system setup, etc. Looks like this, but nastier.: (no pics of my own) It's got the little tab terminals and everything. Funky and old. Haven't thrown a DMM on it so no guess at the imp. Single coil. As many specs as you got. Throw 'em up.

The first verse will make any SQ junkie cringe. I just think it's hilarious!

Just sold the last of my audio gear, and I wanted to say thanks to Jacob for the serious help he gave me with everything. Amazing customer service x100000000000000000000000000000000

DA MOST BOMBIN' SUPACHARGA This^ being a fake supercharger... lmfao

Alright, sealed I shall try, and we shall see how she goes.

Thank you! Now the only rms quote I found was someone claiming it was a "500 watt sub". WTF? I look at this thing and I'd guess 150 or so, but I 'spose you can't judge a book by its cover. Either way, will be using an equally old MTX 250x for power, so I have a few questions: NO subsonic filter, ported a bad idea? You say 2 cubes sealed but don't mention ported or sealed; is this a "recommended for sealed enclosures only" deal making ported a doubly bad idea? This is for a friend who is looking for output over quality of sound and he's flat broke, so what's the best route to go with this?

Tried, and tried hard. perhaps i failz at the intornetz? I don't know, but my searches were "MTX Blue Thunder 12", "MTX Blue Thunder 12 specs", "Old MTX Blue Thunder 12 specs", and the best of them all: "Old MTX Blue Thunder 12 specs black cone blue writing".

That is a good point. Does this sound like good dimensions? Btw this is my first box build. 31 inches wide, 12 inches tall, 24 inches deep. 3/4" MDF board Slot Port Height - 10.5 inches Port width - 4 inches Port Length 1 - 19.25 inches Port Length 2 - 3 inches 42 inches of port area. 3.3 cubic feet of total box volume, tuned to 31.49 Fb If those dimensions fit in your vehicle and create an enclosure with your desired internal volume and tuning frequency, then yes, those are good dimensions.

Looks tasty!

Here's what I did with my BL. Is this what you mean by "sub on top port front?" Hope this helps

Hard to pick "best engine" in any category, only "most popular for such and such a reason." For instance, mitsubishi's 4g63t reigned/reigns supreme for some people for a turbo 4 build because of the vast aftermarket and power potential, but Ford's 2.3t has similar potential but appears less popular to the tuning aftermarket. If one looks at engines with double the cylinders, one might see the LS1 taking the prize, but I personally feel that the 4.6 never got enough aftermarket love. I seen dozens of chevy-engine-ford-chassis drag cars, but I've yet to run across a ford-engine-chevy-chassis drag car. Point being any engine can be built and maintained to reach a certain goal and ALL engines have certain points that are less than desirable. Honda does not shit race-ready import gold, but they make damn good engines, heck, cars in general. That doesn't mean that Nissan can't compete. Same goes for Ford/Chevy or anything else for that matter. Ferrari/Lamborghini. You can find examples from all of these companies for cars/engines that have power, reliability, or both.

There we go... Very... arousing... Mmmmmmmm Porsche....

Does not show up, what's the picture?

WOW! Really doing well for yourself, especially in such economic climates as these. Even to you for keeping the customer service strong! Good luck in the future as well, but by the looks of things, you don't need luck with products as good as these!

Hate me if you gotta, but 1gs are some fine vehicles.

I hear STIs have a glass trans and that EVOs are the better choice in the current AWD turbo battle. That's just what I hear though... Personally... well... Look for the engine bay shot... Dead brand, but it's still got a tuning community!

I don't get on the forum for a few months and this happens??? BEAUTIFUL BUILD!

Why not take a crack at it yourself? Try some punctuation while you're at it. Ok, I'm just kidding with that little poke, but seriously, you can do it! You could ask someone on here to help you design a box, sketch out some plans, and even have a hardware store cut the wood for you. If you can use wood glue and a power drill you can build a box, and not a half bad one at that.

Would help tremendously if you bought my box off my FS thread... But yeah, dimensions would be good.

You do math? lol I'm just kidding: area of a circle = r^2 x pi 2^2 x pi = 12.56637in squared 12.56637 x 15=188.495559in cubed Gonna be more than that because 4in is the internal diameter, correct? and the flare itself will take up some room too. Estimate. Heres what I came up with after some more doing and research. The whole aeroport will take up .10 cuft. 3.14x2x2x15/1728=.10xxxxx So the box's internal volume after wood displacement but before port and sub is 2.24-.10 for sub (fi x 12)-.10 for port=2.04 cuft after all displacements tuned at 32hz. The psp calc for a 2cuft box @ 32hz with a 4" port it would need to be like 14.879 so rounded up to 15''. I think I've done this right. Looking good. Now just slap it together and bump!

Amp si already spoken for, just gotta pack it up and get the paypal... You want a nice box and 2 dual 4 SA-8s? I'll cut you a good deal... lol I never am home to enjoy them anyway and it seems a shame to leave them sit in my car with no one using them, so I figured I'd sell them to someone here who'd appreciate them.

Well it has been ssssuuuuuppppeeerrrr long since I built this, and I'm just now posting it up. Put 'er together right after school let out, had it in before the first week of summer even finished. Not really even been on the forum, college is a beotch. Equipment list: Subs(New): SA-8 x2 in 1.? tuned to 30-32 Amp(Old): SAZ-1000D HU(Old): Pioneer DEH-11E Ye ole coaxials(Old): A series 6.5s x4 Batttttmang(New): XS Power D1200 and S1200, (never installed) Power/ground(Old): Welding cable!!!! 4awg Speaker wire(New): Knu Klear 10awg

WOW! That is absolutely beautiful... Not quite as nice as my Saturn, cause when I polish that plastic it shines... lmao! Seriously though, that car is boner-matic, good call! Can't wait to see the audio!
