Could you give us the dimensions of the storage area? Andrew

I'm going to guess about 90 lbs Andrew

And it's for meeeeee! haha great work bro He does good work doesnt he? I cant wait to get mine, I should have it Thursday!!! TY I thought yours was heavy until I built this one lol

Finished this up last night, now waiting on the carpet which comes in tomorrow

MDF is NOT acuostically dead, Just better than some of the alternatives. Please explain more. Maybe he is comparing it to a slab of marble? If we wanted to get super technical MDF and HDF are not "acoustically dead," something that would be acoustically dead would be a material that sound waves would bound off of and not penetrate hence the slab of marble. The short and simple, HDF is more acoustically dead than MDF but it will dull your tools even faster and weigh more. Persoanlly I used MDF because tools and gas are already expensive enough Andrew

I'm as south bay area as the come, wish I could help. Andrew

M5 I'm sure you know the answer to this, but the fact has slipped my mind at this moment. I think most DMMs recycle their reading 2-3 times a second and the good ones up to 5; but the human eye can detect a dimming light at 1/20th a second? I tried my best to remember lol Andrew

PORT DESIGN FORMULAs for SUB WOOFER ENCLOSUREs Guide: Using WinISD Two fun little tidbits of info for those that like to get all technical

It is also very simple to model a driver/enclosure combo in WinISD to see the actual feet per second that air will have flowing in and out of the port. Andrew

Too bad that 160 amp alt you speak of is rated when its cold and for a short burst, when you get the car up to normal temp your 160 amps becomes more like 100 if your lucky. Andrew

What you hear about their SPL is true, but they are not allowed in db Drag if I remember correctly. Andrew

Seems like one of the leads is broken and every time you tap the cone it makes a connection again for a short amount of time. I would take it out of the box for a visual inspection. Andrew.

I would start by redoing all of your grounds and doing the Big 3 with 1/0. I only run about 600 watts right now with factory alt but get no dimming lights at full tilt because I have done the Big 3 with double 1/0. Andrew

I have killed many yellow tops in my days... My batt of choice is Odyssey... good enough to be used by the military

I like the copper lugs that my local Lowes carries. The 3/0 version fits kicker 1/0 nicely. Andrew

Second layer of the double baffle done and test fit with a 12 inch HK501. I feel sorry for your UPS man :/ Back glued on, bracing soon to come

Here are the different color of carpets we can cover the enclosures with.

Test fit in First one glued in

Tonight I am going to be testing a new method of assembly on a 10 sealed box. If you need one let me know and I will make it for your sub so its not sitting around No carpet, just bare MDF with all edges rounded over. Andrew

The rest will be completed tomorrow along with the carpet. Andrew

Port sanded down Round over Port glued in Other side glued in

If you are having trouble fitting the round ports in the box just go with your standard slot port. The only ports that are going to let you get away with less port area are the ones with flares on both sides (psp-inc). With those you can get away with about half the port area of a slot or round (non flared) port. Andrew

But of course! I'm going to get started on it today

The three most common ways of getting Xmax are via FEA, Klippel, and Dumax. The Dumax has issues with measuring long throw drivers as it can not create enough pressure. Andrew

Yea, basically I'm going to be building one based off your woofer. So PM me with your sub and I will get you a price via PM. Andrew
