Bought a sheet to test it out, built my enclosure for my nightshade out of it. It worked out good. Definately have to predrill hole for this wood is more subject to splitting than regular mdf. Its a lot slicker, weight is about the same. Only thing I have to get used to is the smell. Smells like you just walked into a freshly built house. Called my wood supplier and asked him what it was used for mainly, and of course he said cabinets and countertops and doors in houses. So that explained that, anyway just as good, if not a little better than the regular mdf. Cutting it is a breeze hardly any dust at all from cutting the board. Price here in Louisiana runs about 28 bucks a sheet though and thats with my wholesale account with my wood supplier.

Anyone ever used plum ceek Mdf to build a box out of? I was thinking of trying some.

Here is the end result of my bug build for my store here at 1507. Hope you like it taking it to a car show in the morning. Hope you guys like it. Turned out ok for spray paint. Manager decided not to pay for painting it.

I have one of the 12's the best enclosure to put it in is no more than 1.5 cubic feet the like small boxes. I built one in the airspace that you are talking about 1.8 cubes and honestly it sounded horrible. For the best output put it in 1.25 after port displacement which is around 1.5 the sub has a displacement of .2 cubic feet roughly. I recently bought a night shade so I took that enclosure out of my blazer but I will go measure it and pm you the build demensions.

Thanks cant wait for the nightshade v2 presale.

Yea my plan is to run 2 nightshade 12s I already bought me another svr1500 just hadnt installed it yet. I am happy with it. It will look alot cleaner when I build the new enclosure.

I was wondering was there any big difference in charging a 16v batt. at 14v. I was thinking of buyign some 16v batteries, but I was making sure there wouldnt be any problem chaging them.

1990 pontiac grand am with kenwood excelon tape deck and changer, 2 Pioneer diamond plate 12's in a sealed box running off a kenwood excelon 401m mono amp. Did high 140s with that ole setup in the trunk.

I am sold,, i just got my nightshade 12 with the cracked rim from this guy for a 100 after I checked the coils both read 1.3 so i snatched it. First of seing as how this is my first sundown product I must say I am VERRY Impressed. Going from maistream product to Sundown I must admit I was a little skeptical at first. But all I can say is All Hail Jacob this sub POUNDS. As a matter of fact after hearing this sub I just bought a Sundown 3500 and cant wait to hear them togather. Even though here in north Louisiana Sundown isnt really heard of that much but I promise I will personally be making sure it is. Cant wait to the v2s come out so that I can get another one. Keep up thegreat work man. Going to build me a bigger box next week when I am off just through it in a box that was about 1.75 at best and it still did great with about 800watts to it. Will be posting some pics and vids next week when I build the new box and put the 3500 in. SUNDOWN FOR LIFE!!!!!

16V batteries need to charge at 19+ volts (19.5V MAX for XS Power 16V Batteries), so charging at 14V wouldn't do anything for them. You would need to either use a charger (XSPower 1004 IntelliCharger (16V only) XSPower 1005 IntelliCharger (12V and 16V option), or have a alternator capable of charging at 19.5V. Thanks thats what I was wondering how long does the charge last if I would be usong them in my daily driver. I have a saz 3500 runnning at .5 ohm mono. So its putting out I would say around 4k I have a svr battery in the back right now a platinum 3000 but I think I need a bigger battery so I was wondering what you would recommend.

Here is the cracked nightshade that I bought and the 3500 I also got on a great price if the weather holds up I am going to build a new box for the shade tommorrow and if not it will be wensday. I am so hype can't wait to get the amp hooked up. Sub is already in the truck.

Here are a few more pics from the install should have the final pics up in a few days the car show is sunday. Hope you like it. The box is vinyled in white. The amp rack is painted orange.

This is our Geek Squad Bug that I am building a system for our car that we putting in a car show on the 28th of Feb. I am going to start fiberglassing the box an the amp rack tommorrow. I will upload some more pics as i go. thanks for looking.

I am so drove right now. Got home from work and found out my 3500 was delivered today by the mail lady since it was shipped USPS. My fiance was asleep and didnt here her knocking. So now I have to wait till Monday to get it . Cant wait though will be uploading pics and hopefully a vid or 2 tuesday if the weather hold so I can build a new box for 12.

To acheive what your trying to do you need to be more toward the 3.5 side I understand what your trying to do I have a s10 blazer and I was kinda face with the same delimma. I was tryint to do four 12s and I didnt want the box to come above my back seat. I have a nightshade 12 that I just got last night in a box that is about 1.4 ported. I sounds ok but it needs a bigger box to achive the affect I want. So IMO i would try to build one as close to the 3.5 as I can get, if your within 10% of that you should be ok.

If you want it loud and low you need them in about 7.5 after speaker displacement the box you have them in now if that after the speaker displacement and the port?

Spring Break Nationals is almost here.So who's making the trip to florida? I got my room booked already!!!!!

I was just wondering if anyone else other than me had the thought of Jacob makeing any mids or highs?

About to start a build with 4 of the sundown 2500 when they are available what batterries would you recommend and how many. going to be running a 200amp alt. running between 14 and 16 volts.

When you say running between 14 and 16 volts are you talking about the alternator? You shouldn't charge our 12v batteries over 14.9volts. How many watts total are you going to be running? What are you going to be using it for spl, daily driver, etc....? Total power I am guess will be at least 10000 wats, it will be mainly for spl but I will drive it occasionally. The alt. will have a external regulator that will be adjustable up to 16v so that s what they told me. But I am just trying to see what I need to sustain the amps at a good voltage for bass race, bass boxing, etc.
