Angry Oscars single ICON 12 box (rebuild)

Recommended Posts

This box is a rebuild due to his last box apparently never being built correctly. A 15yr old guy on ca.com that seems to do decent work built his last box, but it was rattling from day one and Ben thought it was the sub, and I, telling him the whole time it sounded like either his hatch or the box. Either way, the top plate of the box seperated from the enclosure walls and really rattled, making this setup un-playable. So we decided to build him a new one. Ernie started this box yesterday and we finished it up today.

old box.

we'll have to get some video's of this thing now. It flexs everything in his car, digs down nice and low and distorts my voice even. I love it! Can't imagine how loud John's XCON 12 is in his TC with the 3KD on it. I'll get to hear it in a few weeks when he gets home though. :chat:

night and day difference. The old one never worked right anyways, there was rattles in it from day one as explained above ;)

This thing really slams now. He's very happy from what I can tell, sort of in disbelief :)

Due to the poor sound from the old one or due to the superior performance from the new one?

Both. Like I said, and I think you even heard this one a few weeks ago, the old box never sounded good to me in the first place. This one plays just like it should.

ok the rattling in the video is the camera resting on the body. it surprisingly doesn't rattle that much.

it sounds much better then the recording displays obviously.

thanks for the help Mark and Ernie...peace
