Box is in! NOW WITH PIX!

[bobby_7 0]

alright, so i finished up my box last night, and got it installed this morning. the box seemed heavier than what i expected, so after i put the sub in, i weighed it. it came in at 64 pounds. not a lot since the sub is like 20 pounds, but that box seemed heavy.

on to business now....so far it sounds great. i could not believe how much of a difference the box made. it hits real hard, gets pretty damn loud, and holy chit LOW. it doesnt do any flexing, but when it hits, it moves the whole windshield at the top seam and the same with the back windshield. i can't get my rear view mirror to stay put and it is shaking my headliner. i dont have any rattles other than the bladder things in my trunk that are there to release pressure like when you close the doors, so your ears dont pop. i can close those off. the worst part is my back dash! when it hits low notes, the thing jumps up in the air about 3 inches and makes this terrible rattle. i'll work on that, im thinking just some double sided foam tape should cure it. any ideas?

i have my gain set correctly, but as far as the HPF and LPF and all that, i dont know what i should set it to. i can tell i need some tuning with it. any ideas on what i should set the filters to? i thought about using bass boost but thats bad for it am i correct? is there any way to turn on the bass boost and then re-set the gains lower to ensure minimal clipping?

now finally i can tell people that i have one 12 when they think i have two 12's.

pictures will be coming soon.

OH YEA, almost forgot, this if off 400 watts.

PIX ARE IN!

i messed up....i cut that piece with a circular saw and then i ran outta wood so i had to fudge it a little bit with some weatherstripping foam and some door shims....i really dont care how it looks, but its sealed up good and that's all that matters to me!

perfect fitment and no port noise!!

and yes, i play tennis and raquetball...haha

sorry about the pix, i've never had ripway do that! oh yea, sub is a 13Ov.2

sooo yea umm what sub is that? bass boost is good only when you need that extra bass in those songs that attenuate it

actually i dont have any rattles. thats one reason im so happy with it. only part i've had trouble with is my back dash with the carpet rattling, but that is only with tones, when i am just playing music, it only rattles just a tiny bit, you can only hear it if you are sitting in the back, and i never do. haha.

Throw a towel back there and shove it in between the glass and rear deck.

Should help the rattle

i think i am going to put some cardboard under it and then i need to tape the child seat things down. i think they are for connecting child seats anyway....whatever they are, i need to tape em.

so i have my filter set to LPF and the dial is turned as low as possible which is 50 Hz, and then there is a switch and a dial for subsonic. are you saying i dont need to turn subsonic on? if i do turn it on, what should i set the dial to? i think it ranges from 20 to 50 Hz. what is subsonic??

also, when i turn my stereo up, i can hear my front coaxials distort, and i have the cheap bass blocks on there. the problem is, i am lacking in midbass, so i was wondering how much more my speakers would distort if i took the bass blocks off, in order to gain more in the midbass.
