BTL in germany....

[faezich 0]

Hi,

just got my BTL yesterday :bigclap:

So i throwed all the stuff back in the car to start running the BTL

Here's MY sweety :bigclap:

Sorry for the bad quality, only had my iphone with me...

15 Inch Fully Loaded D2

4 Canal for the Front System and one Kinetik 1400 ( will be added a 2400 soon ;-) )

Everything wired up...

T20001 waitin for work..

Ok lets give her some... ( Speaker cables need to be cut, i know... soon as the box gets carpet...)

Lets see how much space is left... well nothing :-)

5 Cubes tuned to 30 Hz... ( box calculation done by bladeice...)

More pix soon if you want...

And it's a 2006 BMW 320 touring )

Looks like a solid install.

How are you liking the btl?

[faezich 0]

Thanks ;-)

Well, i don't like the btl , I LOVE IT :clap:

This thing blasts my car into pieces soon as it is breaked in.. i was at 40-50 % of available amp power today and that was f*&&$ing loud

I'm going to test the sub next week with Termlab after its breaked in...

And the enclosure will get some work, too....

BTW: How long should i break in the woofer??

Sry for my language, i don't know the words i need, i hope you understand what i actually mean ;-)

[RobClay 20]

Your speaking good

Tbh just turn up the volume, its not going to hurt it

Make sure to post your termlab scores.

any pics of the car?

[faezich 0]

Yeah i'll post some today. I did none because it was allover dirty and sticky.... I cleaned it 2 hrs ago but these pix were made 8 hrs ago...

So be patient

Today was the big day with great disappointment..

I was at my dealer and we made a termlap run.. Only 141.9, 1 db less then with mY old sx 15 :-(

The problem is the Box Tuning, at 46,47 hz!!!

I need something with 40 hz for my car..

Anyone here who can help me with designing a new enclosure???

I know, stupid but everyone makes mistakes...

But i hope there is somebody here who wants to help me....

:bigclap:

[faezich 0]

No one who wants to help my with the enclosure??

would be great beacause i dont want to build a lot of boxes and none of them works with the btl and my car...

Pleeeeeease!!

[galacticmonkey 0]

I can help you with a box. Send me an email to [email protected].

[BILTD 60]

Box is tuned to 46hz?

Been designing enclosures for many yrs now, thats VERY far off what i designed it to do. Must be a mistake in the construction.

[faezich 0]

yeah idk am, i know and trust you, but somethind dint work out...

the guy with the termlap thought it's perhabs because of only 1'' space between end of the port and the back wall (sry i don't know better the words...)

is that possible??

here's a picture of what i mean if you don't understand anything because of my english

The board in the middle is of course cut out, just for strengthening the construction....

What went wrong?

[galacticmonkey 0]

If the port drops to 1" wide at the very back (looks to be so), thats definately 100% the problem.

[BILTD 60]

Yep, that'll cause some issues. Port is meant to be 2.5" in width. Same applys for spacing off the back walls.

[faezich 0]

but you wrote me this:

Box wants to be 1" thick walls

17,5" high

36" wide

21" deep

Port( Slot port on left side)

15,5" high ( internal high)

2,5" wide

19" long

If you say it has to be 19" long this doesn't just work at all because if you say the Box is 21" deep and minus 1" for the wood and 19" for the port the rest is only 1"!!

If you saY it also has to be 2,5" wide in the Back it should only 17,5" long, or not?

[BILTD 60]

You need to put a 90 deg. bend on the port. I figured you would know about that. Bad assumption on my side.

Example above.

New enclosure, new luck :bigclap:

Never mind Am, if you give me a a picture like galagticmonkey did i will fix the port of the enclosure...

He gave me blueprints like this:

BIG THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GALACTICMONKEY !!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Bought the wood yesterday and built the thing today....

And here some pix:

There is also a woodstick from the top to the down....

My Nickname "40" or fourty :-))

Gonna wire this thing up in an hour or so, lets see how it works...

I'm perhabs testing it tomorrow with TL...

Patrick

again thank you galacticmonkey!!!!!!

[galacticmonkey 0]

Let me know how you like it!

Anu update? I just build a ported box for 2 15 Ascendant Chaos for fun last night... We will see how it sounds. Built it at 7.5 cubes with 92in^ of port @ 30hz. We will see how it does. Dump people at Lowes messed up my cuts... Box is all jacked. Everything is off like 1/8-1/4". It sucks, but not my fault. I showed up 10 minutes before they closed and had them make the cuts. Just kind of went on a whim. Only took me 75 minutes to build the box start to finish, so I just slapped the thing together. Should still sound loud as hell for HT in my apartment.

Id love to put 2 BTL 15s in this box and see how it sounds.

Hi,

Lol, i think 2 btl's for a HT is too f**

[galacticmonkey 0]

Sweet. Theres always a litle bit to gain. Maybe resin the inside of it to make it super smooth. Thats usually goo for a couple tenths. Then just play with the positioning. Should be 145+ no problem.
