Rushnrun's Dodge Ram 1500 install

[rushnrun 14]

Good deal... so how's your build coming?

I'm not changing much yet... just bracing up the box and doubling the baffle... then I'll see where the score goes and work from there... I'm hoping my insane amount of box flex is/was causing loss in output... we'll see... I've braced stuff up before and lost DB... so you never know..

Build is going great, I re did the trim plate with thicker MDF, made a battery tray, and a amp rack . I had to re build one of the 18"s so it will be done Friday and I will be picking up my other 18" as well.

So I will probably have some TL numbers on Friday. If not then on Saturday.

Good deal...

Looks like my truck will stay with the 2-15's for the rest of the season. I didn't realize that finals is in less than two months... not a big deal but I'm taking a 2 week out-of state vacation here in a couple of weeks... I just won't have the time to put any effort into dialing in anything new.. guess the box mods better pull through.

[rushnrun 14]

rushrun, i tried PM'ing you and it says you cannot accept any new messages.

Others have had trouble as well... I'm not sure what is up with it.. I'll check my profile settings

[rushnrun 14]

Well this whole install is on hold for the next 2-3 weeks.

I'm finally heading to vegas and LA for my little vacation/job/home search

I'll get back on this when I get home...

I don't think I'll be able to be back for KY finals so I'll have to shoot for the TN state finals on the 20th

***I still don't have enough points for world finals

[BOOMN89 1]

well we are still trying to have IL/IN state finals on Sept 27th. But I cannot get an answer from anyone.

****UPdate finally****

at KY finals I found I had a woofer that was bad--(left the gap at some point and damaged the coil--probably when I was playing around burping 10hz )

So at the show I had to do my run on just two of the amps (tested output at 2500ish watts) and only one of the 15's (the other acting as a passive radiator-had to stay in the box since I didn't have a plug) it posted up a 150.0db good enough for first loser... winning score was 150.1db...

So I'm Getting ready for a rebuild for finals. trucks getting 4 dmx 12's or 3 dmx 15's, the 3 15's will use 3 of the p1500's (or 6 if they'll fit) or the 4 12's will see the same 4-pack of the P1500's

The 15's give abour 15% more surface area, but will have less power handling---which shouldn't be an issue being I've got to burp on only 140amps of fuse---meaining I'll only see about 2500-3000 watts before the fuse pops... the pair was being burped on less than 1800w for the 150db mark

what would you guys like to see.... 4-12's of 3-15's ??

[BOOMN89 1]

6 10's!!!

[rushnrun 14]

6 10's!!!

sold all my 10's so no can do unless you're donating them

[BOOMN89 1]

sorry no donations from here. Use the blown subs motors and redo in tens!! LOL. Also Saturday nite having another show this one in conjuction with the festival. its in the show section.

[rushnrun 14]

I'll see if I can make saturday.... the truck is non-operational at the moment...

I may bring the cherokee.... hmmmmmmm.... the Jeep is louder than the truck

[BOOMN89 1]

cherokee? what cherokee? You go thru cars like I go thru underwear. Oh and do you want a solox 10?

[rushnrun 14]

Bought the cherokee before I went to vegas... too bad it's naked at the moment--so I probably won't have time to work on it.

what do you want for the 10?

[BOOMN89 1]

make me an offer. It is the one that was in the crx at the show you was at. Dual 1

[rushnrun 14]

truck is gutted.... Note for new build..... no more burping 10-24 hz on 3.4K/woofer.... It broked me woofas!

the one sub that posted the 150db at KY finals only had one good coil left... apparently 10 cubes for 1-15 is too much at sub 30hz woofer got out of alignment and scratched the coil (probably when it was hitting the back of my seat--forgot to move the driver's seat forward)... the other three coils on the sub are dead shorted together... not burnt... physically shorted due to mechanical damage from over-excursion/alignment issues... Not the woofer's fault... my fault..

Subs are getting rebuilt today, box is getting braced and modded a bit... 3-15's will be dropped in by tomorrow... *hopefully*

I'm rebuilding the amp rack and trying to relocate the batts--*so I can fit more amps*

[jcarter1885 995]

Good luck with the new install and like the last one I know it will be impressive.

[rushnrun 14]

well being sick has really slowed down the process of this rebuild. Now that I'm feeling a little better it's raining out! grrr..

Box is almost done... heading out to add a couple of braces and one more layer of glass on the port.. then it's party time... (for the box atleast)

still have to relocate batts or figure out how the heck I'm gonna fit two more amps in there...

all out of wire so I can't rewire much.. don't know if I have time/money to order in any extra...

Edited September 24, 2009 by rushnrun

[rushnrun 14]

everything is in and mounted... did a test spl run....

---down 5.5db from my high score and down 3.6 db from the 2-15's that use to be mounted in this box--before I modified it.

so a lose lose...

doesn't even sound like it's trying to be loud... I've got an issue somewhere.... seeing 2000watts at the amp... not sure what the woofers are seeing--(using a small gauge wire at the moment just for the pre-test before I glue the dustcaps on the woofers--I was checking alignment under power first)

the lack of dust caps and small wire shouldn't cost me 5 db... not with an extra woofer in play (I would say it may drop me a couple of tenths but not full DB's)

[rushnrun 14]

it was good for second at finals

150.9db.... mic seemed to be reading pretty low... I was posting 151.4-151.7 all night on my meter...
