My station wagon is officially a two seater now... Just me and my bass

LOL I have to figure out how to bolt my box down to my floor of my car as well, I have had to slam on the brakes a few times, and seen 350+ pounds of subs and box come flying towards me once or twice... SCARY ISH!

If it was a Khaotic enclosure, then it was probably premade. Do they even build custom fit boxes?

So did you fix those mounting screws yet? How are you liking the bass?

Well, it looks like a monster, man. I hope your neighbors enjoy the bass.

so was the cutout too big, or what happened with it? there should be plenty of wood for the mounting screws to grab into...

looks nice Drew, I bet it will be enough to blow your doors off their hinges when you get it all dialed in!

Looks good to me. Looking forward to the rest of the build!

lol yourself, but that last post has nothing to do with what the op was discussing.

They are sealed batteries, so I dont have to worry about the fumes.... As for the Europower, The EP4000 is simply a re badged EP2500, and is only good for about 1950 watts continuous, according to my friend over at AVS forum who has done some extensive bench testing of just about every sub amp you can imagine, as far as home and pro audio amps go. If he hasn't tested it, he can at your request. Cool guys over there. But more simply, the biggest reason why I haven't bought one, was because I am trying to save up some money to get my license back, and I would rather put money towards it, than an amp at this point. Not being able to drive is really hurting my business right now, as things are very busy! But all this is a moot point to you guys, no? The X12's will most likely be getting sold to a friend, who will be looking for something for a new vehicle soon. He came over to demo them yesterday, and likes them very much... Its sad to see them go, but I simply have too many speakers and gear already.

I use a high amperage power converter and a battery bank in line with the amp, exact same thing you would see in a car audio shops display, if you ever got to see that part of the store... No crappy computer power supplies wired together and sketchy wiring here.... Not when I am pulling 3600 watts, I dont want to see anything catch fire.

So, I was a bit leery about running these babies at 1 ohm, I could hear them breaking up when I was cranking it a bit, so I rewired them for a 4 ohm load on my amp, which is about 1000 RMS and they love it now. These woofers play very well into the full range frequencies, and this seems to be bringing out some of my boxes' resonances. Other than that, I love them! Uber bumpage for less than 200 bucks? I'm totally there dude!!!

Holy mother of cooling, that pole vent is massive.

Every amp sounds different, some are more noticeable than others. For example, I could guarantee you would hear a difference between my RF 1500bd, and my Soundstream with my twins. I have about 15 people that have noticed the difference in the way it sounds as well. Doesn't mean the RF is a piece of shit, it just doesn't sound the same.

I own two of the fiday X12s and two SSD18's. The X12's dont seem to be quite as much of an SPL sub, and more of an SQ sub, while the SSD's are an excellent mix of both in my mind. As long as you can come up with about 4.5 cubic feet of airspace for either of the two choices, you will be very happy with the decision.
