if you have a 300 amp alt and dont need it yet, is there any negative effect on the car?

so a Q with the bp option will handle 1500 daily? i ask because im selling my 18" Q so when i get the VW rabbit i can put 2 Q15s in the hatch with 3000watts.

haha i cant sell it, i crashed it almost 2 years ago plus its 12 years old. what do you think an '07 VW golf would sound like with 2 18"s in it? im wondering the same haha

First off, I could NOT be happier. Alot of bang for the buck, and that's what I needed from this sub. It sounds excelent, especially for being in a box thats 11.6 cubes. I set the amp to send the sub the full 1000 watts when the bass boost is all the way up. When I listen to music, I have the boost all the way down cause its still loud, but sounds perfectly in tune with the mids and highs. Whenever I get bored is when I crank it up, but personally my ears dont like the pressure all too much. This enclosure was intended for music with the tuning at 28-30 hz, and I never planned on competing, although I went to a db drag on the 15th. I entered and qualified with a 138, quite the ugly score, but I was using the db jam cd that you can borrow from the judges. I played some stupid track I was told to, it didn't work out well. So first round comes along, I hit 145.2 with jeezy on my own cd because I knew it would play properly. The track was hypnotize, and it hit 145.2 at 39 hz. I am thrilled with that for my first try! I can add more once I shrink the volume of the box a bit, I could also comment on the higher tuning before I lengthen the port. NUMBERS: -145.2 db with music on the TL -1000 watts rms (lanzar opti1400D) -11.6 cube box -tuned to 28-30hz -125 square inches of port (flared out to almost 200) -18" of Fi "Q"uality Pics today after school

ok well each of the walls of the box is 1 and 3/4 inches thick. the top is about 3 layers of 3/4 inch. the front is 2 layers of 3/4 inch and fiberglass reinforced. and as for the jerk who commented on my quality work, my car is gonzo in a month or 2 cause im goin to university, plus stereos are made to be listened to.

"purple" and "high off the ground" by project pat, "oh timbaland" and "give it to me" by timbaland project pats "crook by da book" album is great for bass and timbalands new album is also.

I cant afford a 1500watt amp right now, savin up for a new car

how do you design something like that, or is it a hit or miss situation?

ok so photos are in order from the begining of the build to the final product, with some sub shots at the end!! mounts for dancefloor dancefloor sides of the box I like to call this the "frame method" to building walls compared to a 12" type-R again with the R, in the cutout for the Q18 Test fitting for the next couple pics (I'm poor, I didnt have saw horses at this point) All framed in nice and neat Q in the wall for the first time! (looks off center but my seats are just adjusted differently) And so fiberglassing begins After a long time came bondo and paint (although I got lazy with the bondo, it still looks sweet as heck) Now for sexy subwoofer poses!

do these have any effect on the sound of the Q?

what about my pic on the side? my work is having a ghetto fab Bday party so i think I AM A make a shirt like my pic, but have the crown on an angle hangin from a chain that goes onto the back around the neck. i draw up new logos all the time, i just need blank shirts to put em on haha oh another is having the shirt inside out and putting " its whats on the inside that counts " haha this was inspired by my ugly car with a Q18 inside

Hey, well over the past couple days ive been smoothing out the wall that ive had for about 3-4 months. i couldnt do anything before because it was -15 degree C all the time. the last few days have been +2 to 4 degrees, warm enough for a tshirt. but today its about -2. If i kept goin today, itd be done and painted, but is it too cold for bondo to cure? or will it just take longer to cure? thanks

I couldnt get the vid to work man but i kinda had the same problem in my grand prix. Since its the last box ever goin into my car, i screwed the dancefloor to the floorpan where my back seat used to be and then screwed my box to the dancefloor. I wouldnt suggest that since its your first install and your going to want to upgrade later on (4 Q15s in a wall in you truck?). try velcro on the bottoms of the feet of your box to prevent sliding, and then maybe some brackets that extend from the box to the floormounts of the seats that would prevent it from moving up and down. looks sweet man, not alot of people start out with quality products like you have

hopefully i fly over it tomorrow and get some madd bass in the plane hahaha

i love how you just told one of the birthgivers of this site to stfu

why not just set your amps gain with a dmm

the only store with a mic here closed do i thought id give it a try just before they did. oh and they tried to sell me the old AC mic for 700 bucks hahahaha car: 95 pontiac grand prix 4 door baby Electrical: Motomaster Eliminator battery?, 2/3rds of the big 3, 0awg from front to back Amp: Lanzar Opti1400D Sub: Fi Q18 Box: 11.6 cube wall ported at 28hz with 125^2 inches of port that flares out to 189^2 inches Mic: OLD audio control Music: Young Jeezy ftw Score: 160.6 with the windows up

for the larger bend, i thought of a sweet method take 2 pieces of 3/4 mdf and make a 90 degree angle, then on the interior angle, fiberglass the curve so the inside will be perfectly smooth, then once its good and stiff, angle grind away the excess wood that is above the fiberglass curve thatd be how id do it

thanks thats good to know, never even thought about the temperature of the material i was applying to though, but it came out good. paint tomorrow if it stops snowing

my vote is for osuhog's, the one right above this post

thats pretty sweet, you could deffinitely do 2 hairtricks at once, one on each side, could you make a vid like that cause i dont think ive seen any

when you make a post, there will be a little clickable icon in a group of several above the text box. it looks like a picture. just post the image url in there and it will code it for you and insert it in your post where the flashing vertical bar was last. lets see those pics

i call dibbs on the first proto to be sold. i have a sweet idea for a HT setup and an 18" is perfect, plus i want to try M5A, plus i always wanted a proto

well if they used BTL slugs then the sub would be a BTL and would cost you a bit more than a BL. everybody just calm down pleaseeeee
