Dang you are one lucky guy. Lol I'm jealous AF Haha...

[grayta 23]

Just got my door speakers..  These will be going in all four doors to keep the stock look.  I would have to modify to put tweeters in so I just went with co-axil.

Awesome man.  You gonna start a build log?

[grayta 23]

Installing the door speakers..  Removing the Infinity Kappas then putting in the new Kenwood speakers.

 

 

 

 

Also recieved some Knu Koncepts 10 gauge wiring for the Sundown X-12s, they come in on Tuesday.

I put my SPL port in the box yesterday and hit a 141.7 @ 45Hz sealed on the dash on the TL.  It's only .4 dbs higher than my last set-up.  It sounds way louder than my other system with my other ports so as I go to more comps I will put the other ports in.  

[Bloodrises 3]

Good shit man. A gain is a gain I bet when you get your x's it will be much louder

[grayta 23]

Just got my Sundown Audio X-12s.  Here is the install.  I had to put the amp back on the seats because of the vibrations the lows were causing and the mounting holes where just right, I literally had to push the subs to get them into the holes. I just have to clean the car on the inside again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll take another picture after I deep clean everything.  BTW the Xs smash the SAs on the lows.  X is the best sub I have ever heard.  I was so impressed because the only thing I changed was the subs.  Box and amp are the same and its a huge difference!  Moves more air too!

Daaaam!

[dragon123443 3]

Do the x's have good sq??

[grayta 23]

The xs have great sq. they are very loud on the low end. Ground pounders for sure. I am really thinking of sealing off my trunk again but not too sure. It was a little peaky sealed off.

[dragon123443 3]

Oh was it?? I bet with the 20hz port your subs get mean as hell. Do these subs affect the tuning of the box??

[grayta 23]

Not really but they would def sound louder in a bigger enclosure.

i love the look of those X 12's. That surround just looks so nasty.

[Bloodrises 3]

I would try inverting those and see how it sounds and looks man probly sexy as hell

Just bought 2 Sundown Audio X-12s!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got them on the cheap on Car Audio .com.  $620 brand new in the box and are shipping today!  Saved $80 and no wait time till September 30th!  YES!  Should be shipping today.

 

Wow, that was fast.  They just came out.  Not understanding why a number are popping up for sale already.

Don't want to invert them nor do I have the space in the trunk to do so.  They have a mounting depth of close to 10" lol.  They are monsters!

I purchased them from someone who bought them and then decided to upgrade by the time he got them lol.  He didn't even put them on any power or in a box.  No one took the deal so I HAD to.  lol.  Are you coming to the show in October?  They have another USaudio show after that one but it will be on Sunday, 8 Dec.  It's going to be a Toys for Tots show.

I am aiming for the October show, hoping to be there.

Should be sealing my trunk off tomorrow again to see if it will make a difference.  It is getting louder and louder each day because of the "break in."  These are awesome subwoofers.  I have the 28Hz port in and they dominate everything from around the mid 20s to about 38-40Hz.  I haven't sat in too many rear firing trunk set-ups but I def think mine is the loudest I have heard, if not, then def close to the loudest I have ever heard out of a rear firing trunk.  These subs def have me impressed and are def in the ground pounding category.  I was amazed on how different it was just switching from the SAs to the Xs with the same box and amp.  Anyways, enough of my chatting, I should have some pictures up on here soon.

[Bloodrises 3]

I was going to say PICS and also I can't wait for the show this month to see your numbers

[grayta 23]

Decided to seal my trunk off again and it sounds a lot better this time.  Used some thick cardboard, some gorilla tape and deadener.  Here are the pics..

 

 

Putting the tape on with the port removed.

 

 

Back of the box in the trunk..

 

 

 

 

 

Putting the rear deck back on.

 

 

Everything finished up.

 

From the back..

 

 

Terminal wiring..

Not the prettiest install but it's def louder now.
