my trunk the last 10 months

[jep 1]

i been wantin to make a thread like this so fk it i am lol....

i started w/ this system ~10 months ago.. big difference between now and then.

1st was an splx15" and ss pca1000d:

136.8db

still the same clarion deck..

added EQ w/ 7v out

got a bigger box maybe 3cubes

added a 4" aero.. this box and 4" port was the lowest hitting out of all the ones ive tried so far.

138.9db

picked up a used 9515 and also swapped the pca1000 for the pca1500d

the splx was a loud sub.. the dd sounds alot nicer though

sealed off the 4" hole on the front, added a side firing 6" flared port..

141.8db

most recent mid/high amp, if you look at the pics i've been through 3 or 4 already..

this ones lasted a while though, i also had some pioneer 4x6 but they had to go, i cut the doors for 6.5 and have memphis coaxials for now.

found this already built at the local shop, its bout 5 cubes @ 45hz

nice ass/bracing shot

f'n mess

then most recent got a saz1500d and got rid of all the blocks and cleaned it up

143db

i dont think it'll ever be done, though.

keep up the good work.

[jep 1]

ty.. you too!

[audio-neon 34]

ty.. you too!

I am jealous of the sheer amount of equipment you have gone through in 10 months. Granted I have quite an inventory of woofers at this point, but many of them have never gotten to play with me since I learned more about car audio.

I am always building new boxes, and working on my fabrication installation skills.

[jep 1]

it started out to be modest but i did a few local comps and started chasing numbers. i'd like to try a few subs out though especially a mag 15 or an RE xxx

[platnum accord 0]

i dont think the xxx is cool looking enough!!!! lol

jk, but not really.

k but anyways, wow. nice.

in 10 months ive only gone through lets see... 5 amps. 7 subs, 9 as of current. and 1 deck like you hahaha.

the dd looks killer though. nice work.

[theabunai 3]

I see you went from aero port to sealed then to slot port and now ?????

mind disclosing why the changes in enclosure design ?

and what did you finally settle on and why ?

Thanks jep...

I just like seeking other peoples experiences in all aspects of car audio....

[jep 1]

the 1st box was way too small, the second bigger pre-fab box started falling apart and the current was a good deal, built well by the shop owner, lightly used and what i was looking for in the first place.. big box big port

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Nice amp.

[jep 1]

abandoned strip malls FTW

cell phone vids FTL but the real video camera is in Indiana right now.

i had the box tuned lower and im gonna face it to the rear soon, i want it loud on music.. more fun than numbers (cheaper) i sold the clarion and picked up a premier deh-p690ub

maybe a saz-3000d in the future? depends on pending sale of the 1500

1500d sold!

[jep 1]

RF t20001bd on the (lay-a) way should be installed and metered in a week or so, hopefully i get that 145 i've been shooting for

also sold the clarion and EQ and got a premier 690ub

Oh and i did have the box tuned lower/ port extended.. it get the lows nice now (even though i havent heard it in a week)

[platnum accord 0]

nice build looks loud. wish i could afford some dd subs.

[jep 1]

i only paid 350 for it.. the basket/motor shows its age, but whats hidden inside the box..

..stays hidden inside the box lol

[jep 1]

ok its been more than a week but heres some random pics, i took the sub/box out and faced it back towards the rear, im done trying to get more numbers i wanna get low and flex chit, more fun to me i guess.. i pick up the sub amp in the morning and should have everything buttoned up hopefully. i also picked up a 2GB flash drive and ran it off the pioneer USB input and tucked it away in the dash it holds like 380 songs and for some reason sounds better than a CD in most cases

box pics:

no more 12ga. speaker cable.. got some kicker 8ga.

i hope i get a decent gain with this rockford, its got tough shoes to fill after that sundown.

love the HU its looks good, purple is awesome. I have a clarion as well.

[jep 1]

Long time no see, SSA! Ive been out of the game since 08 when i sold off all my stuff..

Then i was browsing craigslist a cpl weeks ago and saw my old DD for sale, same exact one, 5 years later. Turns out the seller was fn awesome and cut me a crazy deal so im going to slowly get back in it. Cool part is i drive a 2dr explorer now instead of that lame malibu. 150s here i come..

[jep 1]

here she is,back home again. this sub bas been around and is still stiff as new. same kicker wire, same damage to the surround. i about flopped out when i saw it on craigslist.

[jep 1]

the only things i have done so far is a pioneer h/u, deadened my doors, MDF baffles for 6.5" DLS coax. i have an old jensen 10 awaiting a 4 channel to run highs/sub until i can get this DD going again. i'll probably order components 1st though, im looking at the AQ or whatever their new name is 6.5's

[jcarter1885 995]

back from the dead, cant wait to see the new install in the new vehicle.

[EPerez 236]

I saw my audioque hdc3 sub in same box 2 years later on cl haha it was crazyy

[djjdnap 78]

what size wire is that?

I got the same basket for an MT recone thought they looked kind of small, so i was going to drill it out.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Welcome back!

[porkchop 304]

Now that is cool!
