Im not a NOOB I know what to do was looking for suggestions on what other people would do. I am most likely walling it with 6 15" zcons to be specific with the stetsom 14k2e amplifier....... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not about fitting the most cone area you can in a car wall or not, its about fitting the most cone area in the right enclosure. Seems to go over your head everytime someone tells you that, are you just trying to be cool. If you want to make a wall with 6-15"s then get a bigger vehicle buddy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcarter1885 995 Posted December 22, 2010 I got to wait 7 months for this, dang .First of all stop crying and getting emotional, noboy cares how your gonna pay for it. I guess they stopped making jobs when you got one, haha your hilarious. Actually the people who posted wanted to post here that is why they posted what they did . Second there are rules and regulations to post and your not following them what so ever. Third of all if you would of read the rules, it will tell you to take any and every response you receive in your thread whether you like it or not. So dont come on here getting your panties in a bunch.Personally all the post you made are ridiculous and getting worse, no offense but 6-15"s is not going into a Malibu walled so face it. But if you want to try then go ahead no one is telling you not too, some people who actually have more experience then you are just lending you a helping hand thats all. I say go with it since it is the only way to tell if you can get it to fit with the proper airspace and the right amount of port area. Just throwing as many subs in a car as you can with a shitty ass too small box wont perform like less subs in the right enclosure that will help them shine. Nobody cares about you being a noob or not or if they know you or not, shit you dont know us either so what does that mean . On this forum take the information that is given to you and use it or dont but dont let emotions get in the way, that is not what we are here for. Thanks and cant wait for the build log. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infinite913 381 Posted December 22, 2010 OK here is my proper apology fellas....I really am sorry (lol) and I do mean it. I was fighting with the wife and tryed to use the forum to escape but instead used the forum to vent. I apologize for snapping and acting like a KNOW IT ALL! Its just when I want to do something I want to do it and thats it. I did not follow the rules and thats why It was a pre build for suggestions. So just Give me the 123 of what you are wanting on my end so that this thread can be the thread I wanted it to be. Just tell me the information you want if I do not tell you.I will provide whatever amplifier power is needed for the subwoofer choice we go withI will also provide the correct power for the amplifiers so this it not an issuethe dimensions for a wall are 40 in height 52 in width and 41 in depth..The trunk depth I have not measured for if we decide to stay in the trunk..I will be going with the ZCON series speaker which are 2250RMSSo please accept my apology and my snappy comback if thats what you want to call it....As it was not directed toward any of you! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcarter1885 995 Posted December 22, 2010 Your cool in my book man, nice post man .Now are you planning on putting some of the box in the trunk as well to get more volume for your enclosure? I can see that helping you out with more airspace to make a correct box. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j-roadtatts 1,129 Posted December 22, 2010 The people on this forum are here to help give you advice, BUT we will only put out as much effect as you put in. Now If you are set on the subs, then you should figure out your space available to determine how many subs you can run for optimal conditions. As Jay stated above, the proper box design is going to make things the most efficent. Do you know how to use a modeling program? Do you know what enclosure tuning you prefer? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know what enclosure tuning you prefer? x2, Cone area is going to be your friend, and having a good enclosure. From your dimensions it looks like you got around ~40cubes (gross) to play with. Another thing to remember if you go with a lot of drivers and are intending on giving them full rms, then your gonna need a lot of space for batteries and amp(s), so you may in fact have a lot less space then 40cubes for the enclosure.Got any pictures of the interior? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
