and with the level 5, i had it for about 5 days, i was getting a wierd coil rub scratching sound, sent it to get looked at by Rusty, showed up at DC HQ with the broken basket. Thats why it need the recone, i never even got to let the 2 AQ1200ds pound on it.

vids:

level 4s

level 5

only vid i got of it after 2 and a half months of waiting. (plays at the endish, gain was almost all the way down)

4hz worth, dropped it to 36 from 40(it was at 40 because i miss measured the port width, so i added that extension)

That sucks about the broken sub from the mail :suicide-santa: But the added port length on the box looks cool!

yea, the extension made it easier to carpet the port because i didnt have to clean up the edge.

Enclosure work is awesome.

At first I thought you made the kick pods and like "hot damn that's sick" :P

Tuned in for more.

Ive kinda been neglecting this build log, but might as well update it since I will basically be starting over.

So some of you know that I had a wreck :facepalm: , well now its time to rebuild basically from the ground up.

Things will be done in this order:

1. Headunit in

2. Deaden everything pretty much (passenger side, back, and floor)

3. Alternator (3,4, and 5 might come after 6 and 7 so i at least have tunes)

4. Batteries in

5. 1/0 throughout (2runs of pos and neg)

6. Kicks and doors (speakers)

7. Mids highs amp

8.Temp L7 15 in my old DC level 4 15 box

9. Sub amp in

10. and so on...

List of equipment:

-2 Kinetik HC1400s, 1 Kinetik HC800

-Mechman 200a Alternator (14.2 charging hot)

-Soundstream Goliath Tarantula XXX-6500 @ 2 (~3kwrms)

-DC Level 5 18

-Cadence Wiring (~50ft of 1/0, ~100+ ft of 14ga, 15ft of 8ga)

-Oxygen Audio Spiral F150 for mids and highs

-Dayton Audio PA165-8s and ?(maybe type r coaxes or idk)

-Audiotechnix Sound Deadener

-Alpine CDE 125BT headunit (might upgrade so i can have a 4v preout)

-DB Link fuse holders

cant think of anything else...

Box for the DC will probably be BCarter's Design he did, or a VERY close tweak of it.

~6 cubes, 33-35hz, 120-135sq in of port (i say tweak because i think +125 sq in would be overkill and cause issues with power)

Temp box for the L7 is a old one of mine, 3.4 cubes, 33hz with 3 4in pvc tubes. Absolutely hammered lows so hopefully it does the same with the L7.

Went to the shop to see how the truck is. Floor is pulled back straight, now the cutting will begin, looks like it should be done just before christmas hopefully.

as it sits right now, doesnt look like much, but a bit has happened.
