Never heared about him. I will take a look at his site. But the ones I told you about make fantastic enclosures. Building a box is something, but you need THE right design. If you're confident with him, go for it. With such a beast (the btl), do it right ! Get a used or cheap amp, you will have more money for the custom enclosure.

I did not know that! Sorry. I learn something new everyday here! Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer ! This box will pound soooo hard ! I've just listened to an 8 cu ft box with 2 15" xcons (30hz tuning) : it's insane! Impossible to move your head while in the car : too much pressure, the earfacing the box culd be destroyed!! We only had 2200 watts on the subs, next week we will have 4 Sundown saz 1000 on the 2 subs! I will post pics tomorrow.

Nice box! I like the ports. Can you give us some specs on the box AND on the ports, please?

Neg batt to neg post on the amp??!!! WTF ? I thought the neg batt should grounded to the frame of the car. And the - on the amp to the frame too for a good ground. Be careful. You seem to do it bad.

Get a Sundown 1500 for your future btl, you won't need to much electrical updates: only the big3 with O ga power wire and grounds everywhere. Don't be cheap on the box : ask Argent audio, Khaotic enclosures, Audibel customs, fisher customs, or get a free design on the TECHNICAL section (look at the top of your screen). The remote gain on the amp will allow you to turn the bass down easily. If you're on a tight budget, get 2 sa 12" on the same saz 1500 or a cheaper amp(AQ, Mb Quart,Audiopipe,...)

Nice car and nice install ! Gives me some ideas for the future!!

Can you tell us how your roof reacts with the Damplifier ? If it flex , if you still have rattles? I'm "working" on a little car and the subs give us too much flex on the roof ! Thanks

Build a classic slot port box. You will have to move it to access your spare tire, like ...me! Look at my gallery, you will see how I do it ! If I need the spare tire, I push it on the amps with the back seats down and that's it! A box for a 10" must not be too heavy to take it off the car, though. Good luck.

X2 I prefer mine sealed ! I made a topic about it : "from ported to sealed" on the ssa sub forum. Look for it!

I'll wait for the shirts! Hope they will be good quality t shirts. I want to rep SSA with style !

I will have to buy some very soon. I like the small black ones!

With the same amp(saz1500) I 've never seen less than 13.3 v, and I have a stock electrical system, with no added batt. Check your wirings, connections, all you can... You don't have enough power for such voltage drops.

Your subs look niiiice! Ssd's not Bl's ? Damn ! Go ported, you will pound harder! Tuned in for more pics. Thanks for posting.

ya i will prob mak one, il prob need a guide, wat about remote gains such as a Clarion EQS746 to control the bass, i already have a pioneer deck, its pretty nice. You don't need that Clarion thing. All sub amp come with a remote knob. I don't even use mine on mi Sundown saz 1500. There are free design in the tecnical section here on ssa. Look at the top of the page. You can order custom designs too. Some box builders makes wonderful boxes. If you don't live too far from one of them, order from them. You will be sure to have a perfect box for your car/amp/sub/taste !

He can easily improve the midbass by working on the install(deadening, sealing holes,...). If he has crappy speakers (and no amplifier), they will never give nice midbass enough ! For the box, if you have room, go ported and BIG and tune to 32hz.

Welcome to the best caraudio forum! You will learn a lot here. Bienvenido.

Waiting for a second one ?! I am always scared to see people running amps at 0.5 v, but I know it's'do-able. Looks like a very good box design! I'm sure you'll love the Icons. Pics, pics, please !!!

Yeah, that is big for a beginner setup ! Get a 15" btl and a Sundown saz 1500 and a custom box(very important). Do the big3 in 0 ga. Buy a voltmeter to know how your car likes it. You will know if you need a new alt or new batts. Don't forget your front speakers. You won't hear them with so much bass. Maybe you need to upgrade them, and add a 4 channels amp. $1500? That can be tight ! Good luck.

Great move! Sae, sax, saz,...not easy for all customers.
