Nightshade 18'' - Audioque 2200d >> Single cab '04

[Bobby32 0]

- Nightshade 18'' with new aluminum pole plug with 4 spiders (2 soft, 2 hard)

- Audioque 2200d @ 1 ohm

- 8'' Sonotube

- ~5^3 @ 32Hz

After all displacements other than port displacement, I was at 5.38 cubes. I put 12.75'' of port inside and 7.85'' outside the box for a total of 20.6''. 12.75 is about the max inside the box I can fit because I want 8'' clearence from bottom of port to the bottom of box. The port is 8'' diameter and tuning is 32hz. I'm not sure if I have the correct amount of port on the outside..but I can always add on. If anyone can chime in on this, that'd help alot.

This is my first own box build

Had some trouble reaching all the way in there trying to put sealent in...

Going to sand and rattle can it tomorrow. Thinking about doing something like the front white, and alternation white/back for the sides, back, and top peices.

Looks good so far especially for that being your first box. Keep the pictures coming and keep up the good work.

nice and where did you get that tube. Are those used for concrete forming?

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Looking Good! Waitng to see what kind of results you get!

[Bobby32 0]

Thanks guys. I got it at home depot in the concrete section, they have all types of sizes. Its actually really sturdy than it looks.

Sanded off the old glue best I could but it still sucked painting over it. You can see the mis-colored looking spots are from glue.

Finally glad to see another single cab Dodge with a big install. I am curious about your external dimensions and what what you max mounting depth for your Sub was. I am looking at a few different installs for mine. Congrats on your build.

Fits pretty good, seats aren't too bad. The middle seat fits perfectly and has lots of room for the bichs. Battery fits nicely on the other side of the box, and the amp is going to be mounted on the top. Going to get some wire tomorrow maybe and hook it all up. local prices are $5 per ft. for 1/0 or $7 lol

^^ Thanks, I havent really seen any big builds other than blowthroughs for single cabs.

Pretty loud!

Just got it all in today...did 1 of the big 3's as well, alt to battery

It gets hella loud when I have driver door open. Def. doesnt like to be sealed up though. Still have to mess with tuning and all. Think my LPF and subsonic are off.

Ill get a vid soon

You should upgrade your grounds first, you never want a positive wire bigger than your ground wire.

[Bobby32 0]

True...might do the grounds tomorrow if I have enough terminals.

If I were you I would try to get this done ASAP!, but that is me.

[rushnrun 14]

looking good for a first build...

truck are almost always louder with a window cracked or a door open.... Honestly I've never seen one that likes to be sealed up..

you're gonna be deaf in your right ear with that port right there....

[Bobby32 0]

What can happen with my power wire bigger than ground? All I know is thats good to run same size wire, and same amount of runs.

Yeah with all my builds in the truck, none of them liked being closed in. 1 door open works well...

[jcarter1885 995]

Bad things over time. Do some research and see what you come up with.

[nem 2,019]

Looks good.

Your car wont blow up or enter a warp or tear in space time but you will run into a bottle neck of current.....I'll keep it simple, your cars batt is one big loop, your power flows from the Negative terminal out to your source (amp) out the Pos and into the Pos post of the batt. So when you have any one part of that loop smaller than than the rest you will have a back up. Now a back up (or high opposition to current flow) your will create heat and if you have enough heat thats when "bad things can happen"

bottom line just go ground crazy their is no such thing as too many grounds

[Bobby32 0]

I see, ill do it asap. Videos:

Had to film with my 3mp camera phone sorry bout quality, still picked up some flex. Haven't fine tuned it yet, or experimented with many songs...just know this song is loud.

Looking good, systems sounds nice.

[Bobby32 0]

Thanks man. crappy quality takes away from it though

[jcarter1885 995]

Yeah I hope your passenger door stays on , this makes me even miss having a sub installed even more.

[mwerling1212 1]

Is that jb weld on the gain knob? if it is you have my old amp! lol.

[Bobby32 0]

lol idk, but I got it from a guy on caraudio.com. If you sold anyone an AQ2200, its your old one

[mwerling1212 1]

yep it must be! lol. sorry about the jb weld. i couldnt find a place to mount it with screws.

It looks like it slams though. hows the voltage with all of that power?

[Bobby32 0]

haha its all good. My voltage isnt that great but it doesnt dip down too low. 13v-14v+ most of the time, I keep the gain low and dont clip it
