Ok, can I get some helpful tips on installing the sub into the enclosure. What size/type screws? I see people saying to use T nuts like found here: http://www.silveradosierra.com/mobile-electronics/mounting-subwoofers-in-a-box-the-right-way-t774.html Good idea? Also Dustin the internal speaker wire connect is spade plug, but what would be ideal on the outside? Straight speaker wire or a banana plug?

Now we're talkin! Estimated for Tuesday, maybe I'll get lucky and it will be here Saturday.

Looking at yOur Clarion features, I would set high and low pass to 90... You could try 60 and see which sounds better to you. Also you could try setting the "bass" setting to 100hz or 200hz and increase it some...see if that helps any. There is an option for "q factor" but im not very knowledgable on the benefits of this.

Another thought (sound dampening is a must) what are your headunit options for EQ? If you only have high, mid, bass option then not much you can do as far as eq goes, but if you have more bands (frequency) to work with this could help also. What head unit do you have?

where was this event held? Id love to attend an SQ meet one day!

Yeah Terry, hopefully soon! Im still contemplating an alternator upgrade, as I think Im pushing my limits...but that will be another day. Come on through Central VA, not much where I am but I found an interesting car audio club over in Roanoke (1 hour west of me) that seems to hold some regular events...

"A modest stock appearing interior, see if you can spot all the tricks. " Is that a Tundra with a Lexus badged steering wheel?? I noticed the MS8 controller and the iPhone dock...any other goodies hiding? ...its a dark photo!

sorry for the delay, been working this weekend...W 40.5" Top depth 11" Bottom depth 21" H 18" Port length 12" Port diameter 6" (opening) The port was a little more difficult to measure exactly...but should be roughly accurate. Nothing internally other than the port itself. Would have been easier if they would have just given me this info...

Also, if you look closely into the bottom right corner of the pic you can see the ear of our cat that terrorizes my dog...he's got his eye on her because she attacks at random.

Thanks, was trying to give an idea of the overall size. I think for being a single 15" enclosure, to me its huge. Unfortunately I still have no clue what overall volume and tuning this beast is...although I did ask for 32HZ and optimal ported volume...so...

Did they pick a winner yet? Didn't see it on FB, they said Wed. Jun 5...

sorry to piggyback your thread, when upgrading the alternator, what else do you need to consider/buy? a new pulley belt? (if thats what they're called) Is all you have to do is take to a mechanic to have installed or is there more to the process? (how much money does installing an alternator go for? I know its vehicle dependant, but ballpark?) Im kind of in the same boat, and considering the alternator upgrade as well.

DC Creations built it, cost was $230? Its for a 15" Xcon.

Here is a photoshop of what the Xcon will look like inside.

Terry it was cool meeting you last weekend, your single 15 was hitting pretty hard... Good luck with two! Eric

Try pm Alton.

Nice to meet all you guys that were there, perhaps another time!

Nah dude, that is why I switched to the Xcon and the DC creation enclosure, just waiting on it. Those Pioneer shallow subs I will probably sell on craigslist...the box I might just blow up.

is there any specific parking, or everyman for himself? Still considering entering just for fun, seems my enclosure is more noticeable at certain freq's...I could probably find some music that hides it ok.

Ray I appreciate the thought!

So Im on my way to Maryland, wifes Bday gonna hang out perhaps hit up Dave & Busters...definitely there Sunday but a little bumbed as theres a problem with my sub enclosure, think one of the internal pieces (bracing?) is loose, making a shitty noise. Dam sure wish my DC enclosure and Xcon made it earlier, oh well. So I guess Ill just enjoy the show. See you guys there.

I usually only go chunky as last resort when Im out. Usually it's my mother-in-laws jar she was using to make peanut butter pie.

I usually stick with Peter Pan, but Jif a close runner up. A little peanut butter secret I discovered one day I was super hungry for PB and had no bread, I decided to mix the peanut butter in a bowl with Doritos (Nacho Cheese). I wish I could patent this combo! I average about 2 peanut butter sandwiches every single day of my life...yes I am an addict.

I will be seeing you guys there, look out for me. Hope to listen to some bad ass systems, and gain some knowledge or ideas to improve myself. I wouldn't mind entering as a complete noob just to see where Im at, both SQ and SPL wise.
