It is surprisingly clean for its size. It produces very clean low bass at moderate excursion and is rediculous when you put some power to it. IA recomends 6 to 10 cubic feet. Even at 4 cubic feet this monster still performes extremely well. I have tested several enclosures and I prefer it at 10 cubes tuned around 32 hertz.

It's a big ole box indeed. I just set it in there to see what is would do in a nice size enclosure. I took the seats out because I am makeing molds of the rear panels for a fiberglass enclosure kinda like a JL stealth box. But mine is going to house a 12 inch DP. Although, I will begin working on my dually shortly that I want to have ready for Bass Race next season. It will house 12 DP or Warden series 21's.

I have had problems with them throwing easier when they get hot when mounted under the hood

I have been swamped with a Mustang that has to be done this weekend, a chrysler was dropped off today getting a basic pop trunk install, and I have a 2007 M5 being dropped off tomorrow that's getting a custom install with some flatlines, audison, and focal equipment. But Tuesday is Mardi Gras so I will take a day off go to a parade and probally meter the 21 Tuesday evening.

Found out today the 21's bang. My shop is in the middle of 140 acres. My prperty line is literarly one third of a mile 360 degrees around my shop. (By they way I am the only authorized Louisiana dealer for IA). But I guess someone was disturbed. I already had the back seats out of my crewmax tundra making molds for a fiberglass enclosure so I figured I would test out a 21. It is in a 10 cubic foot enclosure, 160 inches of port tuned to 34 hz, with 2000 watts on it. I have not metered it yet, was actually setting the mic when the cop drove up. But it is louder than a Kicker solox 18. And I am not bias because I am also an autthorized Kicker dealer as well. I will get some numbers and videos up this week as long as I don't get harrassed again.

Here's a few pictures of two 187 12's under the back seat of a 2006 Fored F-150 powered by a Rockford 500.1BD. It was one of the loudest installs I have heard under the back seat of a pick up.

If you are trying to stay in the price range of the L7 I would do a Incriminator death row ot flatline series 12. Highs I would do the Kicker KS seires coaxils. They normally run around $90 to 125 a pair depending on size. If you are running a amp on your highs I would do the KS series components. To control your bass use the bass knob that comes wih the Hifonics amp or go with a bass knob that goes inline with the rca's. PAC's bass knob model number is LC1.

here is some pictures of my very first custom install in my 1999 Mustang. I was 18 at the time.

It was my demo vehicle in 2006. I started the install september 1st and pulled it in the car hauler on september 11th for NOPI.

I would compare them to a JL W3 12, but I don't know of any big brand manufaturer in the 187's price range.

Actually I've been a Authorized dealer in Lafayette, LA since August '08 =D Need to talk to Nick get him to put you on their website.

custom built. The box is a little dirty because the truck was filthy. There are nuts in the picture but 2 inch 1/4 walled square tubing 1.75 inches long was used to raise the seat along with longer grade 8 bolts.

It had 4 pairs of components inside, 16 tens in the bed, 4 bass amps, 10 highs amps, and 48 (yea forty-eight) 6.5 inch marine grade coaxials under it. I started it on september 1st and loaded it in the car hauler on the 11th to go to NOPI.

The monte carlo is a customersbut I might have this out there if I make it this year

I just sold my blazer and going to pick up a '88 chevy 4 door dually. As soon as it is bagged I am going to need eight of them to go under the camper top.

Gotcha covered it's in my work order contract. I manufacture abs enclosures that mount marine grade speakers under vehicles. Because they are designed to project music outside a vehicle, my lawyer insisted I incoprerated something to make sure my shop and product manufactures are not responsible for other people's ignorance. My last demo vehicle had 48 6.5 inch marines under it. At Nopi Nationals in 2004 people were coming up to my booth saying they could hear my truck from the parking lot outside the track. Pic of the high's amps in the truck Pic of the undercarriage on the driver side. It is hard to tell but that is a reflection of marine speakers in the mirror

Looks real good. How long does it normally take you to build an enclosure this size? Is there a reason the sides are reseced so much?

If the wall is ribbed why not make the back of the enclosure fiberglass using 6 or 8 layers of 1.5 ounce chopped strand mat. Should only be 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. Deaden the back wall of the truck. Then rivit the enclosure to the back wall. This would make it strong enough, and would not rattle, and allow it to be removed if needed.

thanks

I have one in a 3 foot box with 50 inches of port tuned to 40 hertz and she sounded fine, but 35 hertz is more to my liking. I thought the Aq sub was more on the lines of a DR and not a DP?

here's a link to a video you can sorta see the shop and me as well at the end. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=27297044 Also while you are there add me as a friend I always have a build posted My shop might not be as fancy as some, but the only thing I do is custom work like the 42 inch motorized plasma in my advatar.

It's just a small 1500 foot shop but you can see some installs at my myspace: www.myspace.com/audibelcustoms
