Back at it again build

Recommended Posts

Well guys, I used to be on this forum day and night last year and for some reason went stupid and sold everything I had audio wise (cept my ufo btl, its not leavn). But I have convinced myself and a little nudges from buddies that I am back in the game. This will be going into a 1997 Grand Am GTs trunk....I also just aquired a 2 door blazer which if I dont sell will be getting a real build.

This is my first build log on here, usually just creep round readin.

Gonna consist of a single 12 on a 1500-2k amp, not telling what im getting as you guys will see when I get them :drink40:

Will also be showing pictures of my amp rack and all my little details I always like to add. So hope you guys enjoy.....

This is my box right now in the middle of building, waiting for Brett_the_Vandel on here to cut my baffles...as I hate cutting wood and Im just plain lazy. The box does have a ton of port area, and am hoping this will be quite the improvement over my last box I made.

thanks to the few guys that have commented on this lol, the box is all built and now in the sanding stage....I will be ordering my sub on Friday which will still be a suprise so stay tuned in for it.

Amp ideas are still being thrown up in the air, it will be 2000-2500rms for sure tho.

:popcorn:

Im not using enough power to make the BTL worth it in my eyes, The DC sounds great

My last setup was the BTL on a saz1500v1 with big 3 in a 2.1cu box with around 33sq in of port, this being the XL in the 2.4 with 47sq in of port, m2a, nsb100 is QUITE the improvement over the BTL setup....Im sure its the box not the sub but I really happy with the outcome
