This blown woofer is good data for you, now you know what is too far on the gain. My way has always been turn up the gain until something smells funny, sounds funny, or breaks...then turn it down a bit. Get a recone and turn it down a bit

Nice! I'll shoot you the balance in paypal when I get offa work tonight

I went cheap on amp. MB Quart 1500.1, the discus amp

Looks great! That carpet should match the rest of my interior nicely. I suppose this means I should get off my butt and run some power wire and start finishing things up so I can give the new box and xcon a listen. Can't wait to see how the xcon does sealed.

Lookin good, all my measurements told me an xcon motor will fit in there....its going to be a tight fit

Very cool! I want one

Its for the back of a 09 Ram 2500 single cab. Pic below of what I've come up with. My sketchup skills suck unfortunately. Just a single 3/4 baffle and a single full length 4" aero. Subs forward, port to the drivers side (its on the wrong side in my crappy sketchup image.) If my math is right, counting .1 of displacement for each woofer I should be close to 1.5 net at 35hz: 26.5w x 17h x 13.5 bd x 6 td Let me know if you have any better ideas, or if not what you need for the below box in gray carpet shipped to 80634. Thanks!

Sounds good man, pm me your paypal address. Since it won't start till the 24th I might play around a bit and put a brace in for the port since my truck rides insanely rough it might need it. I might through two dowels in the design front to back as well. Whatever it ends up being to add those if you can just tack that onto the shipping I can take care of that when its done.

Ok, here are the final plans with the .75" side indents included. Let me know if any of the measurements are hard to see/understand. I've got the centers marked for the sub and port cutouts. Sub cutouts at 7.25" and 4" aero cutout at 6.25". I believe those should be right. No wire terminals on this one please. You can either shoot me a paypal invoice to my forum name @ yahoo.com or pm me your paypal ID and I'll shoot some cash. Thanks!

Well I think I got stuff situated to where it will barely fit. Not much room between the aero and the woofers but as long as the flare on a 4" aero isn't over an inch from flare to where it necks down to 4" tube I should be fine. Need to know how much you inset the sides though so I can account for that. Here is the new plan, once I get your inset specs I'll get you the final measurements and some paypal money, thanks:

Sounds good, after triple checking I'm changing the dimensions just a bit to make sure I can have my seat pushed back with no problems. Was thinking: 28w x 16.5h x 13 bottom depth x 6 top depth With those measurements its getting tight with trying to cram a full size 4" aero and two sa8's in though. Mockin it up in sketchup now to see if that's even going to be possible. If you have other suggestions let me know

Got my order for two in, just wanted to say thanks Jacob. It's been said many times before but worth saying again...damn good dood to deal with.

Thanks for the quick reply, money sent for 2. Going in the back of my single cab 09 ram. For somebody who listens to mostly rock, very little rap, and doesn't really care about the really low stuff what do you recommend. Small box would be helpful, available power won't be an issue.

Jacob, dropped you an email to see if you have any left. Looking for 2, would prefer dual 4's but can make dual 2's work as well if that's all you got.

Hey all. Putting 3 d3100's in my setup and am thinking about putting them in a toolbox or sealed battery boxes under a tonneau cover in the back of my truck. How much impact will cold Colorado winters and hot summers (around 100 degrees) have on the performance of these batteries? My plans are to run a few runs of 1/0 up to some buss bars inside the cabin and then go from there to my amps. thoughts?

Figured I would post this here too as I'm using a couple SSA vendor products. Bringing it back for the sealed guys. Might be a while to get this one finished up but hoping I can get it done in decent time. Going with 4 AA Havoc 15's in a sealed 10 cubic foot Fisher Customs box. Hopefully Chris or BJ can chime in with a sketchup of the box. Power will be from an American Bass 500.1 running at .5ohm. Electrical I am adding 3 powermaster d3100's, a second positive run of 1/0 and two negative 1/0 runs. Already have one run of positive, a yellowtop, and a 200amp meangreen alt installed. Frontstage (already installed) is some boston pro's on a kicker zx550.2 in sealed/damped/overkilled doors. Here is a pic of where the batteries will be going. Thursday the shop that built the existing metal frame for me is going to make some mounts to secure the d3100's in the frame. I have room to add a 4th battery but I don't think I will need it and 240lbs of battery is already enough weight added. And the amp And I have 4 of these waiting going in: And here's what its all going in:

No updates yet. Its been below zero or in single digits since I got home. Today was the first day in the 20's for quite awhile. Since the truck doesn't fit in the garage it only gets worked on when its halfway warm outside :/ I need to pick up some more wire too, but will probably be waiting until after christmas to do that. I want to make sure I don't break the bank buying christmas presents before I spend more on myself.

I know how it is. My 1508's sounded hollow on some songs, hard to describe the sound but it wasn't good...they got loud though. My 2 rli-8's sounded good all over, guessin 6 similar drivers on 3kw could be fun and sound good

Right on, the dd's will definately be louder but I'm guessing these orphan 8's would sound leaps and bounds better. I really miss my rli-8's If it wasn't so close to christmas time I'd think about picking some of these up...they look like fun for sure.

Swappin out the dd's for some of these?

Picked up the box, sitting in a hotel in Hays KS after about 12 hours of driving. Decided not to drive all the way home tonight. Gotta catch up on some work and sleep. Box looks great!

Box is ~ 10 cubes so 2.5 for each woofer. I head to Kansas at 8am tomorrow to go pick the box up from BJ. Then only thing I'm missing is some more wire. As long as christmas presents don't hit the wallet toooo hard, I'm hoping to have this all put together in a week or two

I am the slowest person ever. Molasses in January > me Anyhow, BJ finished the box, I'm headed out to get it next weekend, you can check it in his forum here. I got my two 1/0 negs and add'l 1/0 positive runs made. Got my bus bars situated (see below). At this point its to charging batts and connecting up wires. I'm going to wait to do that until after I pick up the box though. Only things I should have left is to pull it all out to weld the support bracket in the middle of the frame and then bolt up some wires. I'm thinking about swapping my yellowtop d34 up front for a powermaster 2400 or 2700. The yellowtop with posts just isn't very fun when you want to start putting a ton of 1/0 runs on it cleanly. Bus bars....thank god for metal jigsaw blades, hack sawing it would have sucked! Tons o wire in the back of the truck now. Welding supplies 1/0 cable cutters and hammer crimper came in very handy this time, I should have picked those up years ago:

Looks great man, aslong as the forecast doesn't change I should be out Saturday. You mind PM'n me an address? I was thinking about having you build me a box for two hdc 15's while I was headed out there, but decided its the wrong time of year to be spending anymore money on myself

Lookin good! Its tight fitting that much woofer on that little of surface area. Can't wait to give it a go. I'm trying to think of any other boxes I might need in the future to grab on this trip to make the most of it Luckily gas is cheap now so hopefully the trip won't be that expensive.
