"Shit...that's easy, I got this!" hahaha Fail!

Very interested to see how this turns out! Like watching Mr. Wizard as a kid, you just knew he was gonna make ya say wow that's cool.

WoW Anyways..... What do you think of your visit here?

If you don't mind blank covers, http://subwooferparts.com/

Welcome. The mods here are amazing so don't be so quick to lump them all into one basket. Remember, you get out of life what you put into it. With that being said, I hope you feel comfortable here and we'll do our best to make you feel that way. But just like anywhere else, if you come into a situation looking for drama you'll find it fast. Take a deep breath and enjoy the site.

Thanks, I'm very excited to hear these! When driving at highway speeds with rpms 1700+, I can't drive the Xcons hard enough to drop below 14.2v, on any song/tone/bassboxing edit. Now when sitting in a parking lot playing the same Bass tune at the exact same volume, my voltage will drop to mid 13s. I even bump the revs up to 2500 to make sure I'm getting all possible output the alt has. I cut a stick to fit between my power seat and gas pedal, allowing to finely adjust & hold the car's rpms while checking/adjust things. Anyone else experience this type of voltage change? Additional power draws are not an issue, as I turn of lights, heater, etc. when testing parked. All connections are 100% sound with big wire. I also have a new tight serpentine belt. I haven't asked mechman directly yet, but I need see what they say. Exactly what I was thinking.When mine is super cold in the morning I get a voltage of 14.9 by the time I make it to work it's down to 14.3. But I've had nasty voltage fluctuations with my mechman alt in the past. If I ever get another alt it'll be a Singer. Always had nasty voltage drop even with 3-D3100 backing it up.

Welcome!

That's a mean lookin' S.O.B right there bro! Can't wait to see a vid of those!

This got off topic quick...lol

I would try to take that 40 and split it into two side by side ports. That'd create your divide and help with any internal panel flex from the port. You may just have to sacrifice for a higher port velocity due to space. It'll still slam. As long as you allow for extra volume for bracing displacements. If not your tuning won't be correct and you may need to shave some length off the port. Cabin gain will be another final factor in the build. But you won't know what that is unless you meter it and find your vehicle peaks.

To keep things simple, what's the distance of the trunk opening? I'd use that as the width of the port maybe? It looks like you're just using the seat space as the enclosure or does it tuck into the trunk too?

Now the velocity would even be higher. Torres doesn't actually model the enclosure to show you this. The port area would have to be larger in order to cut down on the "huffing" sound created by the port. But if you do go with more port area then it eats up your internal volumes you're working with by port displacements. This is where design gets tricky. You only have so much space and you need to account for every cranny. With an SUV there's more room to play with. The basics of the enclosure you're trying to design is a simple cube style. Can you calculate all the +/- with all the angles? You might actually gain a few cubic feet to play with. I know it sound tedious and dumb, but it's accuracy that sets the good enclosures from the bad.

Maybe the dog typed it?

It's a little off from the program I use and the vent velocity is high. But trying to do 10 cubes net in those dimensions doesn't leave many options for a slot port tuned that low without having such a high velocity. If you go with a larger port area then it eats up the volume quick. I typically don't use such an offset port ratio 1:11 is really high without splitting the port into two (divide basically) due to panel flex from the force on a single 3/4" piece that's 40"+ wide.

How much off the seats is the front of the enclosure going to be. If there's room everything mounted forward.

Port center between the seats, subs on top flush mount. Imo

Uggh yeah snow again! Woo! Got another 2" overnight and this morning.

Learn where the shift key and caps lock are....try them out sometime. Hate it when people type all caps.

Very nice man!

Craigslist No time to go pick up bro!...I am just looking for a decent 20 lb curl bar and 2-25 lb plates and 2-10 lb plates..new if I could find something and maybe 2-5 lb plates if the shipping is free!Maybe amazon or ebay then. If you can't find 5 hours to not pick up a six paxk and instead pick up some iron for a lot less cash then you need to figure shit out. J Yea I wish it was as easy as grabbing a six pack on the 60 mile trip home after working 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week most of the time..There's always time for beer!

Beer belly ?....lol.. Exactly! Lol

She said it was so big, she couldn't get her arms around it!

That's great!

Hahahaha!

It's big enough to eat that dude. Fish eat anything that'll fit in their mouth....lol
