True mdf does tear and the correct t-nuts can prevent that. But if you want to use ply i would reinforce the crap out of it. Havasu i kno from being on here that shizzon is very knowledgeable but i could bring you an old box that was done like that and show you what i have seen happen.. If you do use ply i would also make sure it is hardwood ply (ie birch) because it has the characteristics for strength. Chances are the stuff you have laying around aint birch..

That may be all good info but keep in mind when you put screws in and out of ply it will tear to shit. And it wont hold t-nuts as good either. We both know you will be pulling that thing out a few times.

Also you gonna be running the same amp?

Yo dude saw your txt. Looking good. Forget that ply and go get a half sheet of mdf..

What do you mean "snappy"?

Can you purchase now and get a cnc enclosure later??

The simple answer is that if each coil is the same resistance, then each coil will receive 1/4 of the power output from the amplifier. Or did you want the math behind it? Now thats all I wanted. Simple answer to a simple question. the math is too Gee Wiz for me but good shit..

Trust me I am aware of that. This is not my first time talking with them Im just using all means to get/ stay in contact.

Lol yeah im doing all of the above. I like to use every means on communication..

Kyle its the local guy with the lexus. I know you said you guys might be ready to have me bring my car in at the end of the month. Is it a possibility that I might be able to get my car in anytime soon?

Needing.. If im paying for it, its always a need I know it will require some extra equipment but thats why im doing it on paper. Besides I aint doing anything more until the DC power guys can get my car in to mock up an alt bracket..

Actually thanks to both of you Shogen and smashedz28. I work in a field that is not car audio or even related to car audio so its all Chinese arithmetic to me..

Just FYI... That really could've been your initial post... The guidelines get re-posted all the time since all new comers, myself included seem to not advertise what they are making a thread for in terms that all can understand. It can make some people annoyed but I'm too new to have that feeling... ... I'd also like to ask what do you have room for in your vehicle? Also what vehicle is it? First off thanks for your help and input.. Second .. CURRENT.. 99 Lexus RX 300 Pioneer DEH-P7700MP (h/u) Pioneer CD-MR80D Wired Remote Control Rockford Fosgate T1652-S(front)/T152(rear) Rockford Fosgate T400-4(mids/high) 1 Fi Bl 10" dual 1(wired to 1.6 ohms) in 1.3 cubes @33Hz (box by Argent Audio) Rockford Fosgate T1500-1BDCP(sub) XS Power D3400 Knukonceptz Kolossus Wire 1/0 for big 3, and Karma Kable 8(sub) and 16(speakers) COMING SOON.. DC Power 270XP Alt and a few other goodies LOL that is what I got and are getting. I have plenty of room but are trying to keep some room in the back..

I though my sig would explain my current setup under "current".. My original question was about HOW to figure out the power going to that setup (like with a formula). The amp could be 100w, 1000w or even 100,000w, but if I dont know how to figure it (ie what formula to use) then I have to get on here and try to squeeze answers out of the users (which im very great full for ). And to please the masses my experience is a few years and installs under my belt but they were all BASIC installs and im getting into more intricate installs (especially in my ride). That did answer my question tho so thanks. Now I can play around with a few configurations to see if I want to use the same amp or get another..

That pic is supposed to represent 2 subs the third is outlined to show that you could keep adding. I didnt make the drawing just used it. My current setup is in my sig. Really what im trying to do is plot on paper an upgrade to my subs. I was thinking bout adding another 10" BL, or going with 2 12" but like I said I want to draw it on paper to look at possible amp/ power options. Your first answer helps. People always think that an answer has to be for a specific setup. Im trying to use a setup that im familiar with to help me understand the concept so that I can make proper plans on paper before I start buying stuff..

Sorry bout the yellow but its a link from another page. The speakers would actually be dual 1ohm. With lets say a 1500w amp.. We will start there. I didnt think it was an odd question because im not that familiar with how to calculate power distribution, and everything I have read is a little confusing for me.

So I saw this while I was trying to add knowledge to my little brain and was curious as to how to figure how much power is going to each voice coil.. who can help me out??

just pm'd you..

Hmmmm.. I was strolling through some of these old build post and I found this. I know this is hella old but Ill post some pics of this thing in my ride shortly..

Dude nice setup. Its coming along good. You are going to be very pleased with that BL. It packs a punch for such a little sucker. By the way which South Bay are you in LA or Frisco?

@ Rob- cool.. I know Kyle said you guys had got bogged down with a bunch of stuff, im anxious to get an XP in the ride though. I need . Really i just wanna have that thing in there to be ready for the next upgrade in the future..

Hmmm for a minuet reading this I was hoping you were referring to my car as that "local car ready" Im the guy with the RX 300 who has been bugging Kyle to get my car in for a 270XP..

What about a 270XP for 99 Lexus Rx. Dont see it on the website but I know you have it. Spoke with you a few months ago via email and I got my money and are ready to buy. Let me know if thats on sale please??

F'n A.. right on dude

yeah I did the gains with an o scope (got a good deal on one on ebay ) and im not clipping now but I might give myself a little more headroom when I setup my front stage next week..
