hey here is a old video of the Dakota with a wmd2r 15" and saz 1500d .......

that is exactly what Samantha done.... i would almost gaurantee that he will too..... he hauls but in his Jeep, (walker), around the house already. lol this is a picture of him in it.... I had just told him we were going to put a sytem in his Jeep! lol

Steve! This doctor could give a crap less about your install! lmao

between rainy weather, steve having a torn trapazoid muscle , chasing junk yards for parts, we have not progressed on the build much... he snattched up a amp for his mids and highs to be installed soon, as well as got the crap to fix the motor... this is a pic of what the box looks like in the trunk right now though.

lol @ my ol pal chuck.... failed on the pic posting..... he got them sent over to me though, so here are a few to look at from him...

chuck has his 8"s now, we were on the strip last night, cruising and showboating everywhere... there were sytems blarring, neons shining, imports racing........... yet the biggest crowd seemed to be around ol' chuck, smilling ear to ear, holding just one 8" subwoofer... we all already know that it is not just any ol subwoofer though.... as everyone was saying "DAM! , look at these things!" chuck was definetly having a IAK moment...(I Already Know!!!) .... look at these things, will you, very impressive build ! half the calories, thousand times more adrenaline rush! side profile...... face shot.....

how do you do that "kerfed port" ? in the Philippines we call that flared.. but how do you guys do that we are just really good at what we do!! lol thats not a very informative answer at all imo.

chucks are in, he is currently driving them around town, showing them off ..... seriously, lol , too cool the pics he sent me already are awesome.... ready to see the build come together for him for sure.... chop

glad you took a look, lol, only reply to it so far....ha ha i will post one up in the normal build logs and link to it, i believe the 'team' sections miss some of the traffic when it comes to build logs... that and other guys are building saunas in thier rides, ha! hoping to score a radiator soo, gotta get this dakota moving again.

welcome bro, thanks for the intro..... the 8s are in the mail for sure!!!!

Samantha is killing it on repping IAK.... nice avatar design for sure

4 12"s sealed build thread < lawn care you gotta go bigger bro.......lol totally off subject, but Samantha, your new avatar is killing it! i likey alot, l ftw! lol @ Duran, get that truck off the lawn !!!

Jordon, I am super glad to see you getting on here more, hope you are doing well, how you coming on the NS and SAZ issues? chop

have not contacted them , might take that advice though.... somewhwere in this i have lost a few pics ... also , not sure if it had anything to do with my install or not, but steve has whip lash like symptoms and had to take his ass to the er last night. the box is together, inside of the port is painted white....no neons installed yet no paint on the outside as of yet..... sub is mounted.... we hooked it up, been giving it a listen and doing some tweaking on it yet, everything by ear only thus far.... way louder than the 2 12"s previously installed, decent amount of trunk, rear deck, rear bumper, and rear window flex.... not sure if it is just spring and folks are not immune to ground pounders yet or if it is really just too loud, but we are getting a crap load of looks with it when cruising..... steve's new trick is to bump it and then call me, i have to guess which block or street he was on.... that or when he pulls up out in front of a retail store were we are shopping, we definetly know he is out front, whole store is booming! pics soon, of the system, perhaps a crappy cell phone vid, and pics of whip lash boy, lol...... chop

looking good.... hey, is that paint job off of rattle cans? looks good for a temp box. did you say you had to have the back seat up with this one..... can it go up like this? that horseshoe looks good on the hitch! chop

should i start a second build log up soon? wonder if these will draw any intrest here? This is the builg log for my 2 new 18" WMD2's , d2's

let's hope chucks new box looks great as well.... i like your direction chuck, keep on it. chop

good looking work bro....

hey trip, not sure on rated power, just happy ths far, it will be end of march or later before i can go down there to have the 502 crew look at how it is fairing on rated power. i will get you some pics soon.....no you can not overhang it....... huge mounnting foot in the way..... chop

thank you for the compliments. the enclosure was designed with this mount option in mind. there is no displacement and actually, though very little is written on the subject... inverting the sub *creates* additional air space! think about it, espeacially on larger woofers, it is a concave area attatched to a flat surface, the cone area is additional air space. and yes, chuck let the cat out of the bag on us, lol was not going to report that info for another day or so... i would rate the install off of steves goals.. loud as or louder than the dual 12"s, while creating addtional trunk space... staying inside a tight budget. we did all of that easily... i have quite a bit of work to do still and lot's more pics to take. it is quite loud, but there s alot of tunning to be done yet. the ap1800d , power wise seems to be doing it's job quite well. i had questioned a couple different resources about the power inputs, looking for the magical # of 0 gauge. they suck! it looks as if the positive is 4 gauge and get this, the negative is smaller yet? and also, they angle downward, making the use of adapters impossible, or the use of 0 gauge , trimmed down. not happy with that at all, it will not effect our install or use of the equipment overall. at the price, it is doing the job, but it is disapointing to see that sort of set up hanging off the ass of that amp. not sure what they were thinking. often more times than not, you will see cheaper products imitate the big guys, so it is a dissapointment. still happy with the price and the power . very happy with the WMD2, one of thoe installs were alot of folks will be saying " only one 12" ?!!? " , chop

Ay, big Bear fan! you get your box and port dilema worked out? I am going on record to say, I did not walk away from this.... you know my current living conditions, right, well.... i went up to the noth east side of muncie and packed up my bro-in-law and 2 nephews.... yup you know were this is going.....moved them in with us till they get a place to stay... when hard times hit, move in with chop...!! okay , back on subject, three , full length , black in color, psp brand , 4" in diameter, aero ports, inside of 5 cubes of airspace, will indeed be alot more favorable for the four monsteruosly sexy SA-8's you have rapidly heading your way! the displacement, i know how to find this answer, i do not know it off the top of my head.... need me to look it up still, let me know.... with all that is going on, i managed to get a little further on steve's box today as well.... how is your rebuild coming, making headway? chop

took this pic with the sub in normal mounting position, but will not be installing it this way...just showing how it would look.... and in this pic, bigrank916, if you look real close on the left hand side, you will see the sub inverted, in it's intended mounting position.... lol, a authentic jacket i was given for running work on the stadium, i gave it to my lil bro steve as a gift...i know you will like it though... will have more tomorrow.....got paint drying currently!

as we had mentioned, this will be using a WMD2 12' sub, 55lbs. hangs off the back side of this basket.... they are very beefy and do a good job of handling lots of power....
