Extreme Budget Build

[PHATBOi 38]

Ordered 2 of the VVME RD-12 Ebay mystery subs and one of their QA-D1500-H6 (same exact amp as the APSM1500) for $185 shipped.

I know that people have compared it to the AP but how do you know that it is the same? Either way I'm tuned in for the results.

[PHATBOi 38]

Setup will consist of:

2 VVME RD-12's w/PSI 12" Gasket

VVME QA-D1500-H6

Diesel Audio NS-1600.2

2 Audiopipe APMB6DC 6" mids

2 Audiopipe ATX3720 Supertweets

4.4^3 @ 30Hz 3/4" MDF Designed and Built by Me

1 Run 1/0 Power

Have 15ft Blue and 5ft Black Audipipe Superflex 4g on the way to wire amps and do the big 3.

Waiting to see how stock electrical holds up before I decide if I'm going to run a rear batt.

This is how. Notice their "Partners" list on the left hand side. Same build house. They have a knock off of the AP15001D on their ebay store as well for $10 more.

"Budget" and super tweets is a recipe for sound like shit.

[PHATBOi 38]

I've had these particular AP tweets before and while I agree they are not going to win any SQ competitions, they aren't bad for the money. Was planning on running Crescendo FT-1's, but they are out of stock.

Box Build:

Port was supposed to be 5 1/4 high, but ended up being 5 3/8's when I built it. So here is the adjusted design.

I feel your pain dawg!

I too am waiting for the FT-1's to come back in stock, but also the PWX6's too.

[PHATBOi 38]

It fits!:

Yes, I was going to run the PWX as well. So I just decide to go with the Audiopipe APMB6DC's and matching tweets. $80 compared to $200 makes my pocket happier...

[slim2fattycake 85]

interested in the results from amp and subs.

[PHATBOi 38]

My fuse holder/distro block I ordered to split the 1/0 into 2 4g for the amps. Has a volt meter as well.

[PHATBOi 38]

So, that's about where I'm at right now. Everything is ordered, just waiting for it to arrive before I can make anymore progress. Thanks for checkin me out.

Word, I am curious as to how these sound. This is like the 3rd time i've seen someone get these subs and they now have me intrigued enough to do a cheap 2 12" build and throw em on a couple thousand watts to see how they hold. I'll probably toss em on Craigslist and get my money back quick too.

8 of em on a BC5500 in a Suburban:

gl on the build.

[PHATBOi 38]

Thanks.

[PHATBOi 38]

Just got a call from VVME, my subs and amp will ship out today! Mids, tweets, and voltmeter/fuse holder are in route. Believe my AP 4g is shipping today as well. Just waiting to hear from fixmyspeaker about the gaskets. Pickin up 2 rolls of Peel & Seal sometime this week to do the doors with.

[PHATBOi 38]

Aight, changed my mind about the Peel & Seal. 25 Sq Ft fatmat Bulk Pack has been ordered.

[PHATBOi 38]

Oh, and got my tracking number from fixmyspeaker for the 2 gaskets. Hoping to have everything by the end of the week and install this weekend.

[Shogen 325]

Box looks good. Make sure to fill those cracks.

[PHATBOi 38]

Thank you. Yes, I if you are referring to the split by the port, they are being takin care of. There where a few frm the screws bein to close to the edge (even though I was using a pilot bit. I was squirtin some glue in them and clamping them till it dries. Worked pretty damn good, I just happened to miss that one.
