My New Death Row 12", 2.2 cu. ft at 30-31hz.

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I just finished my sub box last night at about 3:30 am. It comes out to about 2.2 cu. ft. @ 30-31hz. Due to some lack of equipment, I had to build everything with a jigsaw. Not the easiest thing to do. I took some pics of the build, but cannot add pictures yet, I am to newbish I guess.

Anyway, I have been playing the sub today on work breaks and driving around town...All I have to say is WOW. I have it hooked to a Rockford P1000-1BD at 1 ohm, and it hits extremely hard. When I first hooked it up, the bass was pretty loud, just as loud as my Boston G5 was, and to my amazement, the subwoofer was hardly even moving!!!.

I listen to a variety of music, but mostly rap and rock. The death row absolutely destroys rap music. It hits very low bass with authority. Also in shock, it plays just as clearly if not clearer then my old subwoofer did. This I probably like the most about it. On rock, it is very tight and quick. Double bass sounds awsome. I can feel it in my chest everytime. I am almost scared to let this thing loose, as it might break something in my car :drink40:.

I am very pleased with my new Death Row. It was worth the month's wait to get it.

I also want to say thanks to SSA for their outstanding support this last month. They answered my emails basically the same day I sent them. Always kept me updated on my woofers progress when I asked them about it. So thanks again SSA, just got a new customer for life!!!

Another thanks to Nick for such a badass product. I will definately tell friends to buy some of your gear. Thanks for answering my emails as well, very helpful.

I will post my build log when I am able to. I'll be outta town for 2 weeks, So when I get back I will clean up my box, paint/carpet it, and put up my build log. SSA and IA are the shit!!! :drink40:

That X looks tiny next to the DR.

Can't wait to get this new amp for my fronts, Bosoon GT-22.

Should make for some loud mids :)

All in all, the seams came out very good considering I did the whole box with a jigsaw.

More pics to come...

Here are some more pics. I finished the box two days ago. I used a gray textured spray paint. I have used it on a couple of friend's boxes. I really like how it turns out. The port has flat black spray on/inside it. Really like how this box turned out.

I'm not sure why it looks like a light spot in the paint on top edge of box. In person it does not seem that way.

I will also post this in the build log section. Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures. :drink40:

Good Stuff man. Box looks good and solid. Glad you like the DR. They are a tough woofer. Glad you feel it was worth the wait.

I do too. There is a local who used to sell at a shop, and he said my DR was "nice for a cheap woofer, a Kicker CVX would murder it".

I just chuckled.
