New system set-up.

[the_dude 1]

OLD SETUP:

144.3 db with a brand new TL meter legal at the windshield

(1) DigitalDesigns 3515d sub

3.5cu.ft box precision ports tuned to 36 sub up ports back

(1) Rockford Fosgate 1000a2 amp

4awg power cable

Stock alternator

Stock battery

Here is a picture...This was the 3rd box built for this sub(1st with precision ports) and apparently there was too much port, so I blocked off the center port hole and it sounded better, and was louder.

----------------------------------------------

NEW SETUP:

??? db

(1)18" Ascendant Audio Mayhem

8cf box w/ precision ports tuned to 35hz sub up ports back

(1)Hifonics XXV Colossus amp 3200rms@2ohms

(1-run)3/0 welding cable from front to back

Big-3 wiring upgrade

6 Panasonic AS00815-1 batteries in back

200amp excessive amperage alternator

Still waiting for the sub and alternator to show up, expect pictures of the new install process.

Here are some pictures so far of what I have recieved...Sorry for the dirty batteries, they will be cleaned up in the final install.

I have 3 more ports still in the packaging, just didn't feel like pulling them all out for the pictures.

im tuned into this build log, did you ever take any videos of your old setup.

[the_dude 1]

I'm sorry I don't have any videos of the current box but here are some of the previous boxes in my old blazer...

And here is the first box I ran the DD in...

**UPDATE**

So I played hooky from work to run the power and ground cables, and mount the front fuseblock...

Some progress in the install...

Here is the 3/0 welding cable VS. 4ga power wire...

The group of batteries chillin lol

And for shits and giggles... the 6000k H.I.Ds

Here it is hooked up and installed....

And here is a video, most of the flexing didnt show on video, but this thing is brutal. I have dash movement, some plastic/rubber pieces came out from somewhere by my sunroof, the sunroof slaps like a S.O.B, my windows don't go up or down anymore for some reason??? I think bass rattled a connector loose on the switch.

Also, I ordered a set of DD audio 6.5 components for the front. They should be here by Tuesday in time for the competition coming up the 16th.
