nadcicle's 97 Suburban rebuild

[nadcicle 77]

Well the time has come for me to go ahead and show some progress with the truck. This thing has been through hell and back with me from repairing the lower intake manifold to having its fair share of abuse from low tuning. 

 

The first setup consisted of 3 18's on 2 AQ 2200's strapped with a single XS D3100 in the back for support. Let's just say this didn't work and had me reconing the subs.

 

 

Best recorded score of the 3 18's before blowing them.

 

 

 

Sadly, I bought an alternator that was actually sitting in the backseat at the time I was giving a demo and blew the subs. Unfortunate for me, it was a fuckin Tenney that didn't work! It looked nice and legit though...

 

 

 

 

After learning my lesson I had a holdover system that consisted of 4 12" Planet audio BB2 series on my strapped AQ2200's once again. This setup actually gave me my best score to date with a 52 at the headrest which I didn't take seriously since it was a burp box and never recorded it. Also, I never did manage to make a show before reconing my 18's and getting a 4th one as seen below.

 

 

Well, This enclosure was originally intended for only 3 of the 18's since its net was only around 17 so it was time to build yet another enclosure. Yah, so adding the 4th sub actually dropped the frequency response and the score as well.

 

 

 

I never got a good picture, but after displacement and everything I calculated right at 21 cubes here for the new enclosure. This was built to be super flat and boy did it play pretty much anything and sound awesome doing it.

 

 

 

So that leaves me where I am today. I will go ahead and let the cat out of the bag and show my plans. I'm sure to forget something here, but here we go. Everybody likes pictures so I will let those do the talking.

Mechman Elite Was told the peak number was actually 386 in their record book. I felt it might have been a fib:

 

 

 

I'll be sure to add more as it comes.

I forsee a lot of cancellation with all those speakers. I remember the days when my car had 21 speakers in it, not including the subwoofers. Good times

It's possible. Only 2 10's and the underdash horns will be used for daily. All the rest of it is for just getting silly.
