[SPLScion 3]

Thanks to SSA I found the SPL league i love and compete in every weekend (NESPL), also for lots technical info and advice I found here helping in my quest to be loud. Hit my 1st 150 (150.4 to be exact) in my rookie season and gained 12 db. This is a premier car audio site and has helped exspand my knowledge base by alot. Just wanted to thank the owners and technical team here as well as fellow forum members. I am a better competetor because I am a member of SSA.

Thanks Jay-cee! They say you never forget the 1st time you break 150 and after having done it I can see why, I'm so stoked!

1st I must clarify, the enclosure was designed and built specifically for 2 soundstream T5-15's, I got my new subs less then 2 weeks ago and just dropped them in this box, so its not perfect for the subs but got the job done :-) My internal space is 6 cubic feet net maybe a tiny bit less cuz these subs are so much bigger then the T5's. Every wall is doubled, so 1.5"'s thick. I have 3 external custom aero ports flared at both ends and as you can see in my avatar the flares are all one solid piece of MDF. Originally we went for a tuning of 49 hertz, but after installing it and testing its peak is @ 40 hertz. Not exactly sure why, but it sound sweet on all types of music! It plays music pretty brutally and but sounds evil on burps. Somehow I got the best of both worlds out of it, my builder is amazing to be honest, Dave Lehneman. I am not exactly sure on the total port area but I know without the flares it has 350-360 square inches of port, so more with the big ass flares. It doesn't have 45's and is not glassed but the wood feels like velvet cuz of the way he sanded it (sooo freaken smooth). The screws used to help bind the double walls together are perffectly symetrical, he measured location for them on every single screw! He really went over and above the call of duty on this box, I know there's even more in it.

Thank you very much! It happend thanks to alot of peoples' help, including SSA! Plus it all started right here, I really have learned so much from this site and its members. Def. would not have been a possability without SSA. I wouldn't have met the rest of the people that had a hand in the number either... I could go on and on but I'll save you all from a drawn out "Oscar Speech" lol. I will say this though, I have accounts on several sites but this is the only one that has helped me. I'm as addicted as can be, next year 160!
