Yanked everything out of my trunk and am awaiting recones and baskets to build my 15s to 12s. Cutting down on weight and going back to cap banks, 6 banks of 6 3000F Maxwells. Laid the floor in with 2 cans of foam and fastened it down. Going to wait a few days to see if i have and major buckling from the foam before i proceed with building the rest of it. Will all be built in trunk. Have a ton of Kreg jig tools to get the job done. Will still be running my Tara HD 8000 till and if the HD 10k comes then ill swap them out. Car tends to like a lower peak and it was brought down a tad lower after using another bulk back on my doors. So ill do some MECA with it this coming season. Dropping almost 300 pounds of batts should help with the squat i had going on in the rear.

I would really preferred to not stick the port in the box but run it externally. Ill run it like this for a while, maybe try a slightly smaller port to drop tuning again. and maybe do a ext port down the road. Its a pleasure to listen to for sure. road around last night for a half hour and beat them relentlessly

Thanks. big increase in port area made them come alive. Had to pretty it up a bit

So after some down time i ended up doing a little modding. Moved my front wall forward and built a port plate. In the end gained a little front chamber volume and lower tuning. Going to find the peaks and do a little metering, sealed and meca style. Im pretty happy with the way it sounds now

It is dumbfounding to me that you even think there is a need for explanation. EVERY car is modelled first BEFORE it is built. Perhaps you should go inform all of the OEM manufacturers why they don't need to model. I can tell you the platform manager for the Impala you drive will laugh his ass off at you, if it helps I can introduce you.Pretty funny that the world champs bluffed you out. If they don't do something as simple as modelling that is rather laughable. Lol i think your high as a kite. I never asked for a explanation of anything nor your input or anyone else on modeling. Your taking this out into left field went from my 4th order to GM modeling a impala. As far as anyone bluffing me your foolish to think that. Anyone that knows anything about SPL its testing and building. Especially in the org i run. im done trying to reason. You guys are pretty hard headed. But ill keep you updated on how my non computer modeled build goes

Maybe you should start a thread someone educating people on the benefits of modeling. But you insist on mucking up MY build thread. Well ill inform you your living in the wayback machine then in pre 03. I can tell you right now any world champ in the recent isnt modeling but testing.And im familiar with the winners in nearly every class. Its great thats how you do things and your buds do the same, its awsome. But i seriously think your parading you ways in the wrong place. please go start your own thread elsewhere

No i understand. Picking volumes does as its built in car. It can be shrunk on either chamber and loading walls and port inserts changed which is part of SPL building 101 where everything you build can be easily modified. Which is key to building anything loud. Its a fairly simple concept. This is very common in building and it may seem greek to you.Its called testing. We build, test, mod and test again. Yea you can model for a certain peak your looking to get near and thats fine and it will prob be close with the vehicle sealed. But once you start opening doors and windows and the peak starts moving around you can forget your modeling. No great spl builder sat down in front of his pc and crunched some numbers and instantly had a world record breaker. I really hope you guys learn from this because you seem pretty clueless.

Never said you couldn't model . But personally i dont. Im not building a daily beater. I build for numbers, i run meca, which meters at the headrest with different combos of doors and windows open. Your peak will move around alot depending on this. Which is something you cant model. I build, test and modify. Example, my last single 15 build tuned to 36 hz, port firing into the cabin. Once i opened the trunk up,a few doors, and taped off the flare into the cabin the peak moved down the 31hz at the headrest. Your not going to be able to being modeling that. Not saying all of you are wrong. Its just not the way i do things, nor anyone i know that competes. Im here simply trying to show off a product. If any of you knew me you this would not even be coming into question. Not really sure why i build the way i do remotely matters enough to clutter my thread.

Thanks There is not one size fits all single shot spl enclosure. What im doing and what a shop does when building someones daily beater is completely different. I never build numerous enclosures nor implied i was trashing this one. I build boxes that can be modded. Ports that can be modded. I built my enclosure as large as it possibly could be since its always easier to shrink than it is to make your enclosure larger. I think your way off base. Playing around with my 4th makes me a noob? Hardly

And if we could model everything there would be no need to test. everything would be a one shot build. we would have 20 craig butlers. I rough design for volume and tuning on "paper" then built ,test, and mod. Ive had many successful loud daily and spl builds. All from testing. No luck needed. Luck is builds that hit certain numbers and never get louder.If your knowledge of building and testing out weighs mine please feel free to contribute. Otherwise if your certain computer modeling is the way to go you have expressed it thoroughly and you have no further need to post about it in my thread. Look, this forum is about learning. Sometimes people will point things out that may help, don't get defensive. Other people will be reading this thread and may learn something. I asked a simple question because I was curious and looking for insight. I made a comment about objective data. No reason to get defensive. Again, the build looks good and good luck with the outcome, this isn't a smart ass comment, it really means good luck. Sorry didnt notice you were trying to help. As you didnt ask anything about the build and its goals. Wasnt being defensive as i know im not wrong in my methods. I build, i test, i mod and test some more. As anyone thats ever built anything great does.

Its been fun and aggravating at the same time building in the car. Im running Pioneer tsd1720c 6.75 comps on a ppi ion 520.4. Very happy with them

Yes and no, you can model anything you want but once its in the vehicle things change. rather build and mod. Ive had some pretty successful builds that way.

Never modeled anything just built and shrunk the loading wall down. it plays decently flat from 30hz peaking at 44 and remains strong thru vehicle res.

Brought my tuning down today from 68hz to 45hz

Finally up and playing pretty satisfied so far. Subs need to loosen up and the loading wall needs tweaked.

Red nail polish. Roughed up the silver with fine sandpaper and cleaned it up with rubbing alcohol .

Subs are ready just waiting on wire. Mocking up the loading wall a bit

Thanks Its all 2/0 minus the alt runs to the rear which are in 4/0

This would be nice. I have a few people interested in future DSS products for me to use in their builds.

Well wrapping up the build in the next few days. Have to prime the front chamber, finishing gluing the subs and load then and then i can build the loading wall. Otherwise its wired minus some Shca ofc 8 gauge im waiting on for sub wiring. After its finished ill be working towards swapping out my last few batts for cap banks and may do a alt and amp upgrade.

Moving right along. Nearly 10 cubes inside the shell and that's stopping short of the back seat opening. Have the baffle to build tomorrow and the lid.
