No thanks

I saw the optidrives a while back at db-r for $199 refurbished. Is it worth it? The guts look promising, but I don't see any fuses anywhere..

Just browsing around for the amp really. clickkkk

Well my dad used to be really big into car audio so that's why I think he is helping me out so much. He wants to me to have the right stuff and to be set up right.

Anybody on this forum play xbox live?

I'm getting 60 or 70 from my aunt tomorrow. (Christmas present) I was gonna get some nice seat covers and some floor mats for the car but I guess I'll put it towards the BL. It will be money well spent.

Talked to my dad today, big change in plans. I can only spend $100-150 of the budget on the sub. So does anybody wanna point me in the right direction for a decent 15 for under $150?

Thanks for the comments everyone! Its greatly appreciated. Hell I wouldn't even be this far along with the build if it wasn't for some of the things I learned on this forum. Yea I doubt I'll go with the 1208d unless money is really really tight. I'm thinking about the USamp MD-1D. Oh and I'm located in northwest Florida, right around the panhandle.

Sweeeeet, I'll try and talk him into it. I doubt anyone has a termlab or whatever their called around here.

It depends on if my dad feels generous enough to throw in the extra $60 for the BL. Hopefully hes feeling the Christmas spirit, lol How much of a difference is there between the SSD and BL loudwise? Do you think I could hit 140db?

Most likely a SSD or a BL

Finally got the port and glued the top on the box. All I have left to do now is seal the outside edges with some silicone and cut out the hole. I went to put it in my trunk and it fits nice and snug. If it would have been even 1 inch taller it wouldn't of fit. Pics Blurry pic Box with a size 12 shoe for comparison, 56 square inches of port :bigclap:

Better. Allot Better.

I'm wondering when to order my 15" SSD. I want to order it after Christmas I figured just wait until the 29th, the Monday after Christmas. ???

That's what I'm thinking. But how long are they going to be out for the holidays?

28k?

Good gawddd... I wonder if you could burp it with 20k?

No 15's? Price on the 12's?

Ahhhhh that compass, sorry I was a little lost. I'll have some finished pics up tomorrow night, thanks guys!

compass?

Whats the rms ratings on that ddz12? That things really long, the sub itself kinda resembles a 10" bazooka tube with its length

Only took about 3 hours to get this far, for a first build I think we did pretty good. Me and my friend Blake did it. And after building most of the box it kind of influenced him, he realized he wanted to build a better box for his 12's and I'm trying to steer him in the right direction. Pics First 2 walls put up Back, left and right walls up Same except with his power acoustik 15" for size comparison, the sub is blown though Front wall, shows how big the port is Tomorrow we are finishing up the port and caulking the inside of the box with some silicone sealant and were gonna glue the top on, and cut the hole for the sub. Goddddddddd I can't wait to get everything installed its gonna slam. But I'm wondering whats the best way to cut out a 14" hole for the 15" sub?

Why 3 10's? How much room do you have? If your looking for louder go with 2 BTL 12's and 4kw.

Okay finally talked to my dad about everything. Me and my buddy Blake are going to pick up 2 sheets of MDF tomorrow after school along with the gorilla glue and screws. It's gonna be 30wide, 24deep, 14high About 3.8 cubes after all displacements, 56 square inches of port @33hz I'll have some box build pics up tomorrow evening after we get done. :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap:
