    I feel so lucky to have SSA

    not to mention box rise. it will most likely not see 1 ohm for very long at all, if at all

    Box tuning calculator i made

    awesome glad it helps. EDIT: oh yeah and i wasnt sure what section to put this in. it's kinda used for fabrication...and i saw 'calculation' in the description of this sub forum so i threw it here.

    How to Add A 2nd battery??

    then it's not really a good battery. if you wanna run lots of power, then you gotta be able to back it up. if you cant afford it or dont want to...then you need to downscale

    Wisdom Teeth

    i got mine pulled the day before my 18th birthday. hahahahaha i asked to drive home too. tried really hard to convince her i was ok...but i wasnt. apparently i confessed to getting pulled over multiple times she didnt know about lol. i had to get mine cut out. next day (on my bday) went back to work like nothing happened. just had to be careful of what i ate for a while. milkshakes and macaroni are your friend

    32 Sundown E8's build

    this is a build for 32 sundown E8 subwoofers powered by 2 SAZ-3000D's strapped @ 2 ohms. the box is aimed at 16 cubes, but due to the damn small space i have to work with (lol i have an SUV and i said small space ), it's going to be 14-15 cubes. tuned at around 33-34 hz. give or take since i dno the exact box space. it might take a little while to get finished. i need 4 extra hands to hold some rings while i glue em in place to make sure i know where they go to fit all of them. top part of the clamshell wont be so bad as far as placement, but bottom sucks! i can only go so far out because the seats are in the way. i can only angle them to a certain extent because i cant let one ring overlap another because the sub will completely cover the ring. so tricky...but fun still so far. enough jabbering, i'll post some pics first some brief pics of the goodies VERY basically what it'll look like i'll have to get some more pics of the box itself next time i'm workin on it. here's some of the port in fudgein rings made me feel like this 80 haha spare BTL's make good weights there's 3 in so far (5 of you count the 2 on the port side 8)) busy tomorrow, MIGHT get a lil time to work on it monday. can at least add the lil bit of the extra length of the port i need if anything. but i wanna get the rings in asap so i can start glassin the curves on the edge of the box are cut out to go around the seats. (grrr...thought i had pics of that) it's kinda cool...sitting in the back feels almost like you're kinda sitting inside the box itself.

    you're not the only one to think that. someone i work with said that too and thanks for the comments and that box was kinda undersized...maybe not as much as it looked...but i decided to do it right the first time. i'm going to be gettin a new cd player with 6 volt preouts in a few days hopefully, then i'm gonna work on a new battery to handle an MLA module, kinetik or powermaster, whichever i can find for cheapest since i dont think either company has a big advantage over the other. they're both good and i'm sure i'll be happy with both. then i'll add more batteries slowly but surely. that should help the voltage

    i'm about to head out and tune the amps and mount them up if i got the screws lol. i can see the chin, teeth, eye brow, eye, cheek bone, and a little bit of an ear on that face. it's crazy

    32 Sundown E8's build

    couple more misc. pics from the other guys' cameras . and that's how it's sittin now. tomorrow after work i'm going to tune the amps. with about 1/4 to 1/2 power, it was about as loud as my old setup. and then i have to work on sealing off the sides and all to keep everything up front

    32 Sundown E8's build

    both baffles in braced do work son! amatt from SMD came up to help a brotha out painted the ports little bit of filler just to cover the gaps. was gonna sand it more hardcore but 1, couldnt find my belt sander (just like EVERYTHING else we looked for lol) and 2, whenever i make lil panels for it, it'll hide it all anyway. the clouds looked somethin fierce. had crazy rain and some tornado warnings. but we had work to do my favorite pic. if you look closely, you can see a face in the clouds. like a profile pic it's smiling, you can see the teeth, then the long nose above it, then the eyes and cheek bone and everything. i took it by accident and think it's cool but a little weather wouldnt stop us

    32 Sundown E8's build

    1x2's to hold the baffle in place since i used two different pieces of wood for the walls, i glued and screwed little pieces of wood where they meet to help seal and strengthen it. maybe not the best idea...but i didnt wanna spend another 50 bucks on wood. and this will work out ok so it's all good baffle mocked in bedlined painted. not as textured as i thought...but it's ok, i still like it not much to look at...but i've been chipping away still. tomorrow i should get both baffles in, and the port in and then i should be ready to put the speakers in.

    mapped out test fit. like a glove! WHEW! halfway there started cuttin on the other baffle. then the damn battery died. then i got a couple more cut...then i dropped the damn router lol. broke the circle jig where the screws mount to the router...they popped off and broke the plastic. BALLS! so...before i go to buy another...i tried to rig it up and save some cash. drilled into the jig a lil to recess the screws, and put washers on it. fixed it right up that's all i got for now since the battery died on my phone. but as it stands, i went to test fit some more holes...and the fudgeers are to small around the flush mount part :censored: go figure. hopefully when i go to round off the edges, that'll help act as a lil funnel and i can make the bishes fit. it's just barely off, so i'm not toooo worried about it. i'll figure somethin out.

    32 Sundown E8's build

    i have good news and bad news. the good news is: :cray: :cray: :cray: :censored: :censored: :censored: or could be bad news...considering how you look at it well...yanked the rings outas you can see. the more i looked at it...the more i figured they wouldnt be able to fit. got the bottom ones in...but you couldnt see some, some blocked the port a little (had some distance with clearance, but didnt sit well with me) and the 2 next to the port were almost blocked by the 2 in the middle. so...time to restart. i was lookin forward to the neat lookin curves and all from the box...but just not gonna happen. no more back seats now. i was kinda glad gettin back but eh...so be it. they're just collecting clothes, garbage, and empty vodka bottles HOWEVER...there are many good things to come of this (really good news) 1. i now have proper airspace. last one was about 14 cubes, this one is a good 19 cubes. .6 per woofer which is what jacob recommends 2. i also now have proper port area. just over 12 sq inches per foot. port will be 5.75" high, 40" wide. going across the whole box. 3. the length of the port will be about 18" long, tuning it to around 31 to 32 hz 4. and my confidence 5. much smaller cabin to pressurize which hopefully means more deebeez! now i have the proper airspace, port area/volume, and my desired tuning. and that sits better with me. rather do this right the first time instead of wasting my time on somethin that wont work out. at least i didnt waste all that resin and matting. yay me did get a little progress done tho, between workin on my friends panel for his celica which i only got 2 pics of lol. I AM A post em in the other thread anyway that's how it sits now. i will also be able to double baffle the speakers which i'm glad for, and i can put 16 on top and 16 on bottom, and when it gets time to wire, that'll ease things up a big visually at least. i might sneak a plexi window in the back just to see the crazy wire mess. but i dno yet. i should also be able to get this box done quicker, seeing as how i'm better with wood than fiberglass. no time consuming layup either. maybe next time

    32 Sundown E8's build

    thanks yeah it's pretty fun so far. the OD on the rings is the same as the OD on the 8's...so i'm hopin on some of the rings, the layup from the glass doesnt get too thick as to where i cant mount the subs. that part will be 'fun'

    32 Sundown E8's build

    almost halfway there! got 2 more to put in, and the location is tricky. but...we'll see how it all turns out. top should be easier to do i'm hopin. here's some pics of my SUV jon i dont have those wheels anymore tho. well...i do, but one has a flat so i havent replaced it yet. i want new black 22's anyway as for the BTL's, 2 are for sale. got two possible purchases pending. so just waiting

    oh! i found some pics. they werent on photobucket yet. bye bye old box got the template for the sides nice and snug there it is sittin in there. tight fit. gonna have to go with multiple smaller batteries. might be able to fit them on the side from the inside. or under the back next to my train horns the woodgrain is from my old box too. got to salvage it woot! i plan on using that angled part as part of the accenting in the back when i finish it. get a nice phat sundown decal and put it on there. nice trim...lighting...etc. not 100% on what I AM A do (gotta figure out where I AM A put the amps still too lol...i wanna display em but dont think i can), but i got some ideas.

    Where did the E8s go ?

    they look really cool period
  24. what is the goal of this install? personal? or more for comps? cuz if i'm thinkin right...smaller boxes give more output on the higher end (good for comps), while bigger ones put out more on the low end. i think i remember reading that someone made a smaller box, and they gained a little higher in the hz, but lost about 1 db around the 30-35 hz range. also, sealed or ported? if ported, did you figure in port displacement?
  25. Basshead

    Where did the E8s go ?

    they're mine i'm exposport. took FOREVER to get these things open lol. boxes are literally everywhere. and now i gotta clear a spot to put them in till the box is finished. but here's some pics next to my BTL (still for sale *cough cough*) it's like a sea of subs i think i'm about to change my avy now. i REALLY wanna hear these. i need to get my box finished NOW
