Hey am interested in doing a baffle setup like this and am wondering if you ever got it finished and how it worked out for you. I am trying to decide whether to use the Daytons or the Fi IB3s I want to do 2 15" subs in IB to save space as you did and to get some good low end

[the727kid 1]

I haven't ordered my other sub yet. Right now it sounds pretty good even for having a big ass hole in the baffle. Can't really crank it right now though.

[the727kid 1]

Ended up going a different route for the amp rack. It was too cluttered for me and I still needed to add another amp, and little more trunk space is nice.

Looks like a mess but it about as clean as I could possibly make it and it is 100% better than before.

Very nice build. I am wondering how those Sundown neo mids sound. Jacob said they were not aimed for SQ use.

Your new amp rack looks great. What fused distribution block are you using?

Now that it is all in, how does it sound?

[the727kid 1]

Still don't have everything hooked up, so I'll reserve that answer.

There laid back pro-audio drivers, off course there not aimed at SQ. It doesnt mean they cant sound good or be EQ'd to do well in any application. They arent your typically balls out loud midrange driver with no midbass, they will have midbass and still have stellar output. If your looking for true SQ then my guess would be to not look at pro audio speakers.

[the727kid 1]

Actually pro-audio 8s can be the way to go for an active set up from what I've found. I am not an extreme SQ guy, and I needed something to keep up with horns, which is very hard to find while still having mid-bass. We will see how well they perform in a few weeks.

I agree with you and that is how Im using my 8"s as well as others, I wanted some mids with good midbass and decent output as well. I just wouldnt downplay them cause someone says there not geared for SQ, that they wont sound good or cant be used in sound quality install (SQ is subjective).

Ill bet with the low amount of power your running yours at with those horns, it sounds lovely. Wish I was in your area to get a listen, im looking for some ultra horns myself.

[the727kid 1]

Actually, I am missing a 1000.1 still. The amount of power is quite a bit lol.

This is a VERY clean setup !!! Textbook attention to detail !!!

The only way I would like this setup better is if I got a demo ...

(SQ is subjective).

Sound Quality is not subjective !!! Its perfection in Car Audio installation and sound reproduction !!!

And I would love to see this car in the Sound Quality lanes !!! I thing it could bring in some very impressive scores !!!

The727Kid ... Keep on trucking bro !!!

[Shogen 325]

looks great bro!!! :fing34:

Haha thats hilarious. If you say so, what is used to measure this perfection (ears, taste and biasness doesnt count)?

[trod2902 26]

Surely there must be bias in judging sq , since there us bias in an original interpretation of music

[Randal Johnson 544]

Guys, I was only complementing this guys car !!! It looks really nice and does not deserve to have his thread screwed up ... So sorry bout the whole SQ thing ... I just figured all that work deserved a few nice trophies for his efforts ...

Again, great work on your install The727Kid !!!

Nice I'm in the old northeast area, I could demo my q 12, or i could get you a demo of my friends 18in n2 on a 3500bc

[the727kid 1]

Appreciate the compliments guys.

Sween... when ever... my buddy has 15" Mayhems bandpass blown thru the rear deck of his car that is pretty impressive. You go to any shows around here?

[the727kid 1]

No picture updates, but I got everything hooked up for now. Still waiting for my sub amp so they aren't hooked up yet. But I am extremely happy, the Sundowns really come alive with some serious power.... and lets just say it gets loud.

[jcarter1885 995]

How much power are you throwing at your Sundown 8"s?

[the727kid 1]

Well I have 120watts per speaker on hand, at full tilt they are a lil bit under that.
