Crossing the dcon over at 100-120hz is pretty high, are you planning on adding some midbass drivers?

Exactly.

Sounds like the voltage regulator is bad. It shouldn't spike up to 16v.

Hell yeah.

Just for the record, A few weeks ago I was shopping around for some drivers, was pretty ready to buy some brand new sa15s off 1800woofers, it had just opened and had a nice little discount, but after reading some of his background history on other forums and his current business practices I decided to buy some used drivers instead. Glad I did... Couple users mentioned his age, personally I just don't give a shit, it all comes down to good business practice, ethics, and being reasonable, so far I've seen none. I hope the best for the OP AND Kevin, <- get your shit together man.

What about a Double cab tundra? I have seen a box for 2 JL 8W7's ported made for a tundra, but I have never and will never run anything JL. no clue i dont own a tundra What about an F150, or a ram?

What about a Double cab tundra? I have seen a box for 2 JL 8W7's ported made for a tundra, but I have never and will never run anything JL. What's wrong with JL? Too rich for your blood? Or you believe because it's mainstream & expensive that it MUST be bad?

Looking good, I like the bracing idea. may do something similar for the volvo, just not quite as extreme

Well i thought i knew what i was doing at the time. My box actually has a pretty good foundation though Yeah i know but i was GUARANTEED that the plywood, if braced right, wouldn't move an inch. Evmeden though i tried explaining to him that he doesn't quite understand that my subs were being underpowered and the box will flex. But he wouldn't listen so i kinda wanted to do it his way so he could see that he was wrong. But now i realize that now i just will have a shitty box. EDIT: We still did plan though, just not correctly. Just half an inch Hey man there's a first time for everything I'm not ragging on ya. Hopefully you can get everything in order and make it work. Lol yeah for sure bro. Yeah i understand, i just feel super bummed that i did this wrong. I wanted to do it right the first time and i thought i was going to but now i see that i messed up kinda big time. Dang man. Just super bummed. EDIT: Do you think that i should use fiberglass with the inside layer of MDF or just use MDF and bracing? Personally I wouldn't bother with the fiberglass, If I was mad competing and looking for an extra tenth then perhaps

Agreed.

stock alts should charge at 14.4v, after the years of driving, wear and tear, they often drop to the 13s. A lot of people upgrade to high output alts, and some of the h/o alt manufacturers raise the voltage a little, (15.5v is about the most you can go on a 12v battery 14v charging setup) For instance, my stock alt with 80k miles will charge at 14.9v when its cold with no music on, when it's hot outside it drops to 13s. My dc alt would charge around 15-15.5v all the time with no music, or at full tilt with a saz1500d around 14.5-14.8v

I am not using one of these at the moment but you answered your own question. Don't forget to adjust it once it is installed. x2, not sure why they need to be calibrated, seems pretty ironic, but use a dmm next to it and match the voltages.

There is two versions of the Ipad, one with 3g and one without. Both can do wifi, but the 3g model has the ability to get internet as long as you sign up for a plan. Cost depends on plan, $15-25 per month IRC. The sucky thing with the plan is it's not unlimited, where as the phone I just bought, the plan is almost the same price for the ipad but its unlimited bandwidth.

You can wire it to anything you want, personally, I wire mine at the amp so I know what voltage the amp is seeing. Mount your voltmeter in your dash or where ever, run your 3 wires (power, ground, remote turn on) all the way to the amp. You can simply stuff each wire into the corresponding terminal on the amp.

I'm shocked! You should open a car audio shop and compete against them. Lol he has a major Polk boner (not that it's a bad brand or anything, if you like Polk, more power to ya) and he wants me to come back and demo the HAT Clarus set but...their sound room was...raggedy n a sumbitch (if you saw it you'd know that's the perfect description, trust me). The light was hanging from the ceiling and there were more holes in the mdf than there were speakers. Maybe they were fixing it up but damn, close the door next time. Sad to hear.

Don't forget it doesn't have a massive 4" coil.

How big are the batts in those? wonder if a small xs batt would make it noticeably lighter?weight is not an issue with a 600 lb machine with a 660cc motor. The thing is like a bullet, and easily does 75 mph. Ah fuck that, shits too heavy. Guess I shoulda figured it out from the name GRIZZLY lol. Do a fiberglass dash with an Ipad w/ 3g. Don't temp me. LOL Or just be lazy and do what I did: although I need a new hu so it supports the ipod cable instead of aux, fuck up on my part.

I would order a bunch of cld tiles from Don at SDS. They'll add "some" rigidity to the doors, but primarily keep the sheet metal from rattling like crazy. You could then put a layer of MLV, just place a roll over the door panel and cut to shape, that'll deaden everything. Lastly a layer of ccf will keep the door panel plastic from rattling against the sheet metal (decoupler). All this can be bought here: http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi Don is a great guy, knows what he's doing, super helpful.

What phone u getting. Droid x. Yeah shit drives me nuts, awesome products, terrible cs. The W hated the gif girl. I bet. Do a fiberglass dash with an Ipad w/ 3g.

spam spam spam. J-road you had that chick as your profile pic for a while, every time you posted in a thread I was like oh fuck yeah! I should have my new phone later today, pretty psyched considering I like techy shit and always owned brick phones.

Yeah, well they're shipping today so consider the saga over and done with.... Awesome, hoping the OP does a build log here, really want to see what he has planned with this much power. Now that your done with this and aren't busy anymore Robbie, how about you make a case to fit my v40 (sarcasm) I believe the guys at DC are waiting on a cnc machine to start making their own casings. Yes, I'm aware of that, but that doesn't mean I can't give Robbie a hard time

I guess i understand that and i know how it's done i just don't know if i have room to do it and i am not sure if it can work with a removable port... Yeah yeah. Well we planned a port and we assumed that we had enough space. I apologize for not having everything exact going into this. This is my first box/wall build ever, so i am learning as i go. Why does it have to be MDF? What difference does that make rather then using plywood? I know plywood is more flexible but that's about it. Also, with the port, we made it interchangeable so that way once we mess up the port we can build another one. Because i knew i was going to mess it up some how. I have been asking people questions about what i need and this and that i could never really get a solid response so i just went for it Sounds like you tried building a house before laying the foundation. Plywood is flexible, less dense. I wouldn't want my box, port flexing while the drivers are playing, would you?
