Cant wait till you get the SAZ-1000 to give us more pictures, yeah these Sundown Amps are beast.

x2, or if you can try to make another box but if not you will be good to go with the polyfill.

I agree with porkchop, you would be better of with a custom made box (if you can find someone locally to make you a box it can be done for under $50-100, dont go to a stereo shop). Just my .02 Honestly someone on here or me can help you design and give you step by step info to do it and you could build your own for under $50, just a thought.

Well you still can research on this site and the internet, just type in folded horn enclosures (im sure there a lot of pictures of them and info floating over the internet).

x2, I may have to get you to design a box for me for a 15" or 2-12" subwoofers when I decide which setup I want.

Man it sounds like you are going about this right, good luck and cant wait for this build to get off the ground .

I think your referring to a folded horn enclosure, check out Topic: Taste My 8 under the Build Log Thread (a dude has one on their that he has pictures of to give you a generel idea).

Yeah that is awesome .

x2, best advice in the world at least upgrrade your Big 3 wire and install a voltmeter.

Im tuned in.

Its real simple, if you wire each sub to four ohms and then together at 2ohms before they go to the amplifier (then you have 2 wires, one positive and one negative that go to one positive terminial and one negative terminal on the amp). If you wire each sub to four ohms and let the amp do the dropping down of the ohm load then their will be four wires (two positive and two negative, each wire goes in its on terminal). Hope this helps.

Fiberglass crazy (Ive never did fiberglassed before, but you and others make all that hard work turn into a piece of art) . Good job on the install man, cant wait till its done. I was wondering what you were gonna put behind that amp but as I kept scrolling down, the plexiglass answered my question. Nice equipment and excellent install, keep us posted.

x2, check out www.the12volt.com for both of the wiring diagrams he mentioned if still confused.

Appreciate ya man, will check these out tomorrow.

Next time I build a box I will wear a mask and goggles for protection but dont really need it (better safe than sorry).

Im sorry I wouldnt have paid that, I stop buying boxes after being charged $280 for a ported enclosure for 2-12"s (great box, just not worth that much to me when you can build your own for under $50-$100 depending on size and materials).

Ive seen an enclosure covered in leather before (its gonna be more expensive then carpet and not as durable) but it can be done.

What do you mean by MDF being hard on equipment? Please explain more, I havent coughed up blood (none of my friends have either and they build boxes all day long). Instead of writing small statements, please give better explanantions so I can further understand. If this was the case then why do everybody and there mother use MDF (95% of the time if not more). If you build your box correctly you dont need screws or nails, so that is not to relevant (plus I used nails in my box).

I say go for it, if you already have it (are there gonna be any front stage upgrades or factory for now)?

You dont need it to be playing at full tilt to do some tuning, be respectful to those around you (stop degrading the Car Audio Industry).

What MDF horror stories have you heard, please share with us.

x2, any size up to 1/0awg use KnuKonceptz if you need 2/0awg or bigger then go get some welding wire at weldingsupply.com or weldingdepot.com

okay check my math out here........... outside dimensions for the enclosure are ; 19"d X 17.5" W X 14" H (the mdf is 3/4")........so that is 2.02 cubic feet. the port measures 12.5" H X 10.875" D X .875"W so if i subtract this and the inner port wall displacement from the enclosures, it puts me at a volume of 1.89 f^3 ......... if i did the math right the port is tunned at 32hz. i am not sure of the displacement of the sub, but it looks like this box might be choking these subs some if i have done the math right... thanks for the help. chop That box is 1.82 ft^3 @ 28.58Hz before sub displacement (10.94in^2 of port area, the port area range is 22-29in^2).

I would of slapped some fucking reality in is ass to wake him up while laughing at him, if he was hitting 229dbs then everyone would know about it by now (do TL meters even go that high, I would of said what did he use to measure it if they dont).

A little more than 100 duckies depending on the options the BL has, thats before shipping.
