    Pontiac G6 with 2 Ethos 18's

    I will also get exact dimensions of what will be taken from the box in the corners. I won't know until I get the framing all squared away, and build some mock up pieces. Getting this thing into the car once complete should be fun! I already plan to take out passenger seat, and likely the center console.

    Yes, I agree with you completely about bracing the port over such a wide span. If I increase to 5" height, I change the ratio to 1:7 @ 175in^2. Is that a more acceptable ratio? I would still put a middle support in this 35" span. This port could go above or below the subs, if all on the front face. Above would make it easier for me to build.

    I have been considering everything front firing, with the port on top. Due to all the angles I have to deal with in the rear. a center port would get quite complex where it splits against the bottom rear slope. I want at least 10ft^3 net, with at least 175in^2 of port, tuned around 30. Here's a Torres sheet for all front, top port. Thoughts?

    He said Ampere 7500 @ .7ohm in JP's video. Nice videos! That looks looks intense!

    Here is my 1st attempt at Google SketchUp. The scale is way off, as dims will be approx: L 28 x W 46 x H 26 You can at least see general design the box will have on the corners. I had originally wanted to invert the subs on top, but I'm afraid I wont have enough clearance. My question to you experienced builders is, how would you configure the sub and port placement? I am not walling this off ,so please don't suggest that route.

    Now it's time to get building! As you can see in the pics, I don't have a nice flat space to work with. All 4 bottom corners will require recesses built into the box. Kind of a pain, but it's worth it to me, in order to maximize box volume, while keeping the box as low as possible. Here's the back seat are I have to work with: This stick is 26" high, which is where I'd like to stay below:

    Pontiac G6 with 2 Ethos 18's

    Yes, I've pretty much done a 180 from the first post in this thread. I ended up installing the Pioneer 80prs and running it active. Short of it's terrible display & no Sirius, I do like all the audio adjustment features. A bridged PPI900.4 is driving 10" RF Punch Pro 10s. These still need to be nicely fiberglassed into the doors, but they are certainly LOUD. Current tweeters are only ok, as I'd like to upgrade to Horns if I can fit them under dash. On a big note, my 2 18" Ethos are Finally Here! Woof Woof Woofers!! Haa! Nice dual leads:

    Wtb DSS ethos 15" looking for 4

    There were some still for sale last week from the recent shipment. Look on the DSS facebook page, or post on the **** board.

    Sonic Eletronix or Online Car Stereo

    Good move on Sonic. Like stated, onlinecarstereo will gladly take your $$ for out of stock items. Then when it doesn't ship for a week, you have to track them down.

    120?? Holy Crap!! No way you could mount that horizontal without bracing, correct?
  12. What do you guys think of this battery? Any reason it shouldn't perform as well as the DieHard 31m, or JuiceBox Black Cherry? It has same rating of 110ah at 20hrs. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-deep-cycle-marine-and-rv-battery-group-size-31dtmagm/prod3590232.ip?sprodId=prod3590232&selectedTab=allProducts&_requestid=50474 This Duracell is currently $179 at Sams with core exchange. Sears has become way to proud of their 31m recently @ $310. The Black Cherry is currently $240 shipped. http://juiceboxbattery.com/product/juicebox-black-cherry-group-31-agm-110ah/

    Connect and disconnect noise from aux cable

    I at least turn the volume to almost nothing when plugging in devices, like my phone or mp3 player.

    IB build

    What a great setup! Very nicely done! Do you think I could use my 2 Xcon 12s to build a similar home theater sub? They are not fetching squat $ used anymore, so I might as well enjoy them. T/S Specs here: http://products.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/product-information/xcon.html

    Super high output SQ oriented front stage

    Here is a direct quote from Eric Stevens' email: Jason, I offer two models in two different horn sizes. Pro and CompNEO are the models and MH and full size are the horn sizes Pro are $350 and Comp$700 60 wrms 100wrms 107/109dB 1w/1m Pro models 109/111dB 1w/1m Comp models 1200Hz xover MH both models 800 Hz xover Full Size for both 600 to 20Khz + for both with full size 800 to 20Khz + for both with MH Pro represents the best value and has 90% of the performance of the Comp, Where the Comp outperforms is with lower distortion and higher output everywhere. I am here to provide help with product selection as well as support for install and tuning in any way you need. Either phone or email or on the DIYMA forums also. I can also make recommendations for system design and set up. Eric Stevens ES Audio LLC 310-869-4438 Eric@ejsaudio.com Should any other horn be included in the search, or are Eric's Pros good to go?

    Thanks Bassboy! We appreciate all the effort that goes into this! What software would you recommend for a novice to start creating bass boosted tunes?

    Super high output SQ oriented front stage

    Which horns do you recommend?
  18. At least you're in Hawaii, not the NE states this year I would still rather have the power runs in the cabin if you can make it work. Drilling a hole in the firewall and inserting a gromet is not hard at all. Toughest part is getting the correct drill bit.

    Super high output SQ oriented front stage

    By no means would my setup be considered SQ, but Imo it is crisp, clear and very loud. A bridged ppi900.4 on punch pro 10s in the doors have much more output than my eardrums need. With my current component list, I feel my 10" mids are the strongest part of my system. They still need to be glassed correctly in the doors, but I'm quite happy with them. Would you guys link the horns you are considering? I too have thought about going this route, but was afraid they may be too sharp/bright/piercing. The only horns I've heard were in Senchez's Explorer, but they were set so loud it was very uncomfortable for me.

    2 Fi SP4s and a bc5500

    If it's for a daily setup, running at .5ohms will do more harm then good even with a good electrical. What harm would this cause, if his voltage stayed 13.5 or higher? Crescendo rates the amp .5 stable. I'm curious here.

    2 Fi SP4s and a bc5500

    Before you spend $ on recones, why not try running them at .5 ohm and see what kind of voltage drop you get? What kind of electrical do you have?

    (2) 12" RE XXX XBL^2 04-05 build

    I heard everything is LOUDER in a Pontiac!
  23. Hey guys, I'm currently running the 80prs, but I want to upgrade. I still can't get over how Pioneer could build such an excellent functioning HU, with such a shitty display! Which double din fully active HU would you recommend? I really don't know where to begin. I definitely want my SiriusXM back, and GPS would be nice. I would like to keep this under $800, if possible Thanks in advance! Jason
  24. I read something about the 5700 not playing video files off the flash drive. Any truth to that? I suppose a rewritable DVD would work. How do you play videos smashed?

    Corner adds to port length?

    Looks good! Is this for a Trident? What are your specs on box?
