My daughter and I are about to go paint the box pink, lol.

Box build. !! Going to paint it tomorrow.

Box is built.

Wrong thread...

Box specs. Will be building tomorrow.

The amp I will be ordering today. Gut shot of the SHKAMP-2500D Think it looks better than the AP's.

Couldn't take not having bass any longer. Pulled the trigger on a B-stock Sundown X12D2 from EMF. Going to order a Shark Audio SHKAMP-2500D today from ebay for $99 shipped to power it with till I can get a better amp. Seen this as I was putting away the box. Explains the B-stock designation. I'm guessing they smudged the finish as seen here:

Sweet. Let me know when you do so I can check it out. Thanks.

Awesome! That's a damn good deal. I will make a build log when things get going to keep yall posted.

Welcome. Robin does excellent work. I've had him build me quite a few enclosures and even a sub before. Never been disappointed. How do you like the X18? I have an X12 on its way to me now.

That's what I'm most excited about. Looking forward to that low end output with no distortion. Well that and the amount of air it's going to move. Been a long time since I had my RD Alpha/PSI 15 hybrid and even longer since I had my RE MT/PSI 12 hybrid. Those are the two cleanest sounding subs I've owned. Been dealing with a lot of budget gear lately. I know the Shark 2500 (APSM2K) isn't exactly a high end amp, but I'm not going to be running it maxed out either. I'm sure if I keep it fed with proper voltage I can get at least 1200 clean out of it. Then, when I get some more money down the road I will be stepping up the quality of the amp for sure.

EMF shipped my X12 today! WHOOTT!!!

Beautiful car!

It's 3 cubes net (after displacements). That's on the large side of the suggested volume from Jacob, but I want to take full advantage of that peak to peak excursion. Looking to move a ton of air with 1 12.

Bump.

How's this? Bumped it up to 3 cubes net, kept the 16 sqin per cube, and got 50 sqin of port area on the dot.

Cool. Planned on doing a double baffle, but I stack on top so it will not affect the internal volume of the enclosure. I will tweak it and see if I can get closer to 50. Thanks.

Will this work? Power will be a Shark Audio 2500.1 (APSM-2000 clone). TIA!

So, amp cut out the other day. Figured it was just thermal protect again as I had yet to install the fans. Waited and waited for it to kick back on and nothing. Checked it and it was powered on with green light, no protect but had no output. So, I just had enough. Sold the amp, took the batts back to Squaredeal this morning and returned them, and my budy is buying the subs and box off me. Never thought I would say this but I am just done with car audio for a while. When things get better for my family financialy and I have my license straightened out and possibly my own ride I will get back in the game. Just have a lot of other things in my life to be focusing on other than dumping more money into something I don't really NEED. Glad it atleast made it out to USF Fri for everyone to hear before it took a ****.

I think they are $118 shipped per pair, but you can usually email them and get a little lower price.

Thanks. These are the 500 rms 10's. They are takin the double power like champs.
