if anyone cares...my first attempt at a d2 install

Recommended Posts

yeah..the box was made by fine custom works, and is 4 ft^3, tuned to 32 hz. i didn't take any excursion porn pictures...im still only running it with a crappy power acoustik 900 watt amp with the gains turned down low, but it still gets so loud and stays so clean. my old subs (don't laugh, audiobahns) sounded like crap compared to this. when i'd turn them loud, i'd hear popping and it sounded terrible. these sound so much better. im surprised at how good the sq is on this 15"...i always heard that 15"s were a little sloppier than 12"s, but they definately are not like that at all.

yeah just had my 15" installed last night too. 3.8 cubes (after displacement of port and sub) tuned to 32hz.

This is one efficient sub I have to say. On my Idmax's I had to use my line driver to get my amp to push my subs that loud cause my damn sub amp takes UP TO 16v input

:( They were 2 12's sealed, and this is a single 15" ported and its certainly louder than my last setup already. But its really crazy how accurate this sub is. What I like is that its not bottom heavy ported. I want to say its transparent because its hard to locate the sub, but not in the sense most people describe transparent, its just that there are no real peaks or anything from the sub to give away its location in the back.

And if there isn't supposed to be blobby heavy low bass in a song, believe me the sub will not play those frequencies. I put in some Type O negative and I was worried because there didn't seem to be a lot of low end like with most subs, then I put on Korn and WOW and then i threw Type o negative and Korn on my home system and yep, not supposed to be any real low end on the songs I was listening to on Type O negative. But there was on Korn. I mean, the accuracy is just crazy.

I don't want to say much more right now I'll do a review once I have more time in. But so far I'm impressed. I have to say I was nervous cause I was affraid this was just an all off the shelf guesstimated sub or something. But I can tell someone certainly had to have gone through alot of trial and error to get a sub sounding like this :) Good job nick.

I'll give a good review either tonight or tomorrow night. I do long reviews :D I want at least 8-10 hours with the sub first.
