That motor!

I know man its so massive. Im building a new box soon with way more port area and going back with an aero port. I want a bigger plexi window if possible because that motor looks menacing.

Yes sir, I don't want to totally black the car out. As much as I liked how Passat was spelled out across the trunk, it looks a thousand times better without it.

I just made some aesthetic changes to the new enclosure that's being built as we speak, it's going to be dope. I bought some bigger wire for the sub terminals to the sub amp.

Yes I was, the only way I could get the camera to focus. In actuality I thought it wasn't that much bigger than their 10 gauge I'm currently using and it makes their 4 gauge look humongous.

My new 6" aero port is here and I decided to do a white port this go around and you will see why soon. It is a Big Ass Port, that is adjustable from 6.5" to 20.5" with all the pieces included which I thought was dope. Felt like a science experiment playing with the different pieces

I know I am late to the party, but did you try sub forward and port up?

I realize the box configuration was not built for that. Just curious.

No I haven't but I see a lot of people have a good results with sub forward and port to side as well. I would like to try these configurations but they would have to be built in vehicle. Also my access hole to some things is right under my amp some i will have to ruin the box god forbid something goes wrong. Im real short on port area with the slotted port, like 10.5in^2 so I'm going for more port area with the aero and a little higher tuning than 27hz. 

 

Just want to try different thing since I got this APM meter.

Down the rabbit hole of box output vs car. It never ends, even at my age.

Good luck.

Yes sir, it's getting fun again I must admit but you know the process. 

 

When I go back to two 12"s one day in the future, I'll do the subs forward and port up as well to the sides. Since that box won't block the access panel and can be moved around easier.

Both overhead consoles rattle like crazy. I stuffed some thin foam lining from an old gun case in the front headliner and that fixed the issue without having to remove anything. The rear overhead console needed to be removed, once I'm off work later today I'll add some type of deadener, I think I still have some of that egg crate foam deadener left at home.20220305_094642.thumb.jpg.a5d514576ecc34bf92162c216b949ac5.jpg

Didn't rattle as much but still needed some more material to the light control panel itself.

I broke 140 dbs playing DJ Russticals - I'm the man, had my sunroof all the way open so that's a cheater score. With my sunroof closed the loudest I was at was 137 dbs, frequency changed by 1hz. All of this is with the gain low as I'm still breaking the subwoofer in. I love this little thing, it brought fun back to having bass and slamming, trying to guess your score or frequency.

 

Hey Aaron can these be left in the car even when not in use or can certain weather temps cause issues? Thanks

You can leave in the car, but I never suggest in direct sunlight.

I really out did myself with this design and color scheme, my box builder perfected my vision. It even has two stripper poles :woot:

Got the port screwed and I added amazing goop on the inside to seal off between wood opening and port. 8 gauge wire is installed and hole was sealed up with the amazing goop as well. Once it cures I'll flip the box over and seal the inside of the speaker wire hole just for safe measure.
