Recommended Posts

So Scott told me the dimensions to build this box all thanks to him, 3.5cuft after displacement tuned to 33Hz.

On to the pics:

Ahhhhhh finally wiggled it into the trunk of my car, with a little finesse...hahaha yeah right, 40" wide my ass, I had to struggle to put that box in, but once its in it fit like a glove...

OOK

First impressions LOUD, oh did I say LOUD??? The bass is let me punch you in the back of your head bass...

With that 12" RE SX, I felt like it hit much lower, since the box was tuned to 32Hz, but I think its all in my mind right now.

I guess I have to wait to let this sub get a little broken in first. Then I'm probably sure it will hit as low, if not lower.

So the sub is dual 2ohm VC, powered by a RF T10001BD amp, birthsheet claimed 1506watts at 1ohm. With my old setup the sub was a dual 4, and that amp put out 1070watts at 2ohm. Sooooo I play the waiting game until the sub breaks in, and hopefully it will definitely kick my butt.

But playing that Mariah Carey song, "shake it off" remix, more things are vibrating now!! Things are vibrating that I didn't know could!

Now I have to wait to get metered....anyone in Baltimore have a TL mic????

Yeah I will carpet it soon.

Its bad for the amp to sit up there like that? Its a temporary solution right now until I can find a 0 gauge wire terminal for the ground wire.

yes it is bad, the vibrations can cause problems on the long run, but if it is temp. the i guess it is okay, and for the cables and terminals go to knukonceptz.com i just bought my amp kit there 1/0 gauge

I haven't used MDF for a while, I've use PB for a few boxes I made and I have never had a problem.

I think there's someone here right outside of balt, like on the other side of the harbor tunnel or something. I was there in the summer and was told by (denim???) that someone had one.
