here is a few pics of a box i just finished for a explorer....the install pic is on another camera.....anyway, the amp was doa, so no beats yet.....however i did hook this up in my truck off my amp, giving them about 600 wrms, and while they aren't my 15's..they are indeed loud and very clean oh yeah..they are in 1.75ft^3 apiece and the box has a fs of 38hz..well, according to mtx specs...so does that mean that it is tuned to 38hz? anyway, it is my first time carpeting a box and i almost didn't have enuff, so in the process a nasty seam was created..but it faces the back seat, so it won't be seen ........ also...i charged $150 including materials,which came to $65 or so....too much or not enuff?? took 6 hours start to finish..lemme know enjoy.....well, i hope...

i want one with treo subs, memphis amps, focal componets, alpine h/u's, dodge trucks(2001 black quad cab 4x4), pontiac grand prix(2004 black), suzuki motorcycles(2002 black marauder), chevy cavalier(2004 black 4 door), john deere lawn mowers, ryobi power tools, hp computers, my 4 dogs(soon to be 5) 2 cats, 5 birds, 3 fish, my wife, my son, my guns and lemme think....something really special...oh yeah......ME!!!!!!!!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thnx....the colors match the explorer just about perfectly...it's an eddie bauer edition... melawhat??? hehe... thnx again.. u too denim wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wood......... :thud: :boxin: :boink: hehe...for real, it's a pressed board (plywood like) with laminate on both sides, so the baffle is white inside and out. it's easier and about the same price (per size cut)as buying laminate seperate and gluing it to mdf...the sheet used in the pic came as a 16"x48" piece and cost $8.00 at Lowe's...all i had to do was cut it down to 15.5x42...tada!! instant white face...and it's just as strong (3/4" thick) as the mdf and is less porus. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

last post..hehe..i promise..... the subs are 12" mtx(duh) 7500's..they will be pushed by a mtx 801d.. while the carpet ain't perfect, the box goes great with the explorer and hopefully i will get better at the carpet...... the box in the background above is for an x-cab s10 and will hold two 15" id spl's for now...i am on my way to finish it now... quick pic of me spraying some glue..hehe...fumes?!?!?! oh yeah....... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeee

yep..u can catch a glimpse of da wifey in the above pic...and here is my boy by the finished pic......

a few before subs......

from the back.......

i just got one word......... i'mc**minggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.................. my god that install is sic...... very clean and very well done...very $$$$$$ whewww..i need a cigarette...oh wait..i don't smoke..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

specificly the a3000db, here, and the a520-2hp, here...... what can anyone tell me about them? how are their amps in general? the reason i am asking is becuz a install i am about to start might include these two amps, if they are atleast capable of their rated power and good performers... also, if u can list amps in the same power range, the mono amp needs to be either 1/2 ohm or 2 ohm stable(the subs are dvc 2ohm) for around the same price...plz list....i need them to be a "matching" pair thanks all wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

of a box.......how do i measure...from the long side or short side..or do i average it? btw, this is being done for the look. i do have a square side to this box, but i want to save it for something else oh yeah..it's going to be a slot port... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

kewl..that's what i thought but wanted to be sure!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what those two other guys said!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

dats gotta be fun...... look ma no fingers!!! my jigsaw is older then me(well, pretty close)...old craftsmen adjustible speed thing that it is wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummmmm...dat shit outa rattle some teeth! talk about getting evicted.....u might wanna call ur local sesmic people every time u crank that thing good job....and way to admit ur wrong!! oh yeah........ wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

metallica's fuel is one of my favorites drowning pools bodies kicks ass ummmm.... g&r's welcome to the jungle....hehe..that was our football teams fight song disturbed....sickness anything by zombie (rob and or white..like there is a difference..hehe) ozzy's and even mix-a-lots iron man..was kinda cool oh yeah..going WWAAAYYYY back to when i was in middle school... quiet riot...metal health twisted sister....we ain't going to take it wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hmmmm..they sure are sexy.... but i think tirefryr and b-30 are on to something...i mean even on their own forum, they aren't really known.. maybe the one install was bad... but even around here, the biggest dealer (3 store's within 75 miles of each other, 2 within 50) and mb quart being one of their best componet sellers couldn't really tell me anything about them.....why? but steve is right also...let 100 ppl buy them and start praising them on sites other then mb quarts and u'll hear more about 'em wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's a pic of the sub being worked over while i was tweaking the thing...my son took this... oh yeah...from start to finish....wiring, designing, building and installing....8.5 hrs flying solo......i think that it went pretty good.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's a few pics of a standard cab s10 install i did saturday.. it's a single 12" he2 bieng pushed by a modded profile california 1200..benched over 880wrms..in a 2.25ft^3 ported enclosure tuned to 34hz... it's kinda cramped, but u can still get to the jack..hehe also, this thing sounds great and hits hard as frock... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the owner's boyfriend wants to carpet the box...hence i didn't need to finish it. as too the front stage...it's factory, being pushed by a sony cdx-m630 h/u with internal -xovers set at the 125 hz level. the factory 4x6 plates are so harsh i faded the h/u almost all the way to the "rear" 6.5's in the doors. the dash speakers add just enuff to enjoy the vocals clearly... thnx for all the compliments...this truck really turned out nice, all the way to the surprising response from the sub and box! and i really like the way the amp rack turned out...with the amp being as long as the box is tall, there really wasn't much choice as to where it could go...so i ran it parallel with the rake of the box and flush with the baffle. all of it turned out better then expected! and the old rf's do indeed kick ass! one more thing.... can u guess it? if ya guessed....... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (u was right..hehe)

that's cuz that amp IS large...hehe 2"tallx 10"widex 24" long!! here is a link to the soundomain page i just put up for it..... s-10 install enjoy and don't forget to vote for it... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i,too, think they look cheap and well...they look like an afterthought. it's like at work, when we do a repair or rebuild....one major concern is to make it look as though it (the repair,rebuild) was intended to be there from the intial build..not added as an afterthought.. also..doesn' solid core wire ADD resistance? wouldn't the added resistance change the impedence...i know there is something to this...i just not finding the proper terminology..HHEEELLLPPP wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

truely a clean install wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well...one more.... passanger side of totally finished( for me anyway) set-up... here u can see where the port is located.. man, i'm not shittin ya on how good this thing sounds and how loud it gets...it impressed my wife( in the above photo helping me cleanup)..and that ain't easy to do wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and finally...with the seats in..... does this count as post whoring??!?!?! hehehehhahaahhahehe let me know what y'all think wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
