Welcome

Im scared..

28hz is very low indeed.. Im interested. Lets hope you listen to nothing but rap, hitting those higher notes is going to be hard.

Win on Stefans part... Hes not coming back, Thanks for looking out and potentially stopping some more scams from happening!

Woot SSA! :morepower1: :morepower1:

Wow thats terribly sad..

A 15" will fit no problem at all. The 18" was super tight though. Im not really sure how im going to be fitting this bigger box. Haha

2004 Impala, base model. I do have an earlier build that i have posted on the forum if youd like to go take a look.

Yeah, I decided I would post up a topic, kind of motivate me in a way to get it started. Ill more than likely be buying my XP wire on Friday, then I will be going to pick it up whenever it gets delivered, which shouldn't be long considering Im getting it delivered within NY.

Well, looks like its time for me to start doing this rebuild instead of constantly talking about it. I know Steve will be happy, I dont have any pictures or have actually started it yet but Im about to pick up my Bravox Components and a spool of XP flex 0 gauge so thats the starting point. Heres a little outline of my current setup and what will be done after I rebuild. Current: 18" BTL N2 (5.5cuft box, 32hz tune) Infinity Reference Component Speakers American Bass VFL 100.1 Amplifier Phoenix Gold Titanium 500.4 Amplifier 4 gauge Wire Capacitor (fail) NEW: New ported box, 6.75 cuft, tuned to 32hz and will ported into the cabin. (18" BTL N2) Bravox CS50k Component Speakers Amp Rack (Make everything look purty) Installing Kinetik HC1400 (Bye bye Capacitor!) Full run of 0 gauge and BIG 3 upgrade

Ask Fi for a recone IMO..

8" mids to go with their tweeters.... Mm....

Yes.

Yeah, ill double check sometime today.

Is this normal? I guess its hard to say, but I own a 2004 Impala, stock alternator. My battery finally died after 9 years of use and when I threw the new one in its charging at 15.5volts. Im just hoping a regulator isnt shot or anything stupid. Obviously constant overcharge can cause batteries to prematurely fail. Just checking to make sure everything is normal here.

Looks awesome. Great clean work on the doors for sure!

Alright, according to the calculator im using i need 39.85" long of port, I guess thats why im off a bit according to your calculator.

Im not using aero ports first of all.. And have you made sure to adjust for end correction too? Walls are 0.75" thick.

I has added him... Now need to wait until he is online.

Last time i made calculations I didnt account for a few things including the end correction of my slot port. I hope somebody with a lot of enclosure knowledge can help me out with this. Port Area 126 inches2 Port Tuning 32hz Port Internal Dimensions 9” x 14” x 39.85” Port Displacement (8.25” of the port will be external)(31.6” Internal Port) 9.75” x 15.5” x 14.25” =1.24625651 cubic feet 9.75” x 15.5” x 12.1” =1.058 cubic feet 1.24625651 + 1.058 = 2.30 cubic feet + 0.18 cubic feet (Subwoofer Displacement) = 2.48 cubic feet (Total Displacement) Subwoofer Dimensions Needed (9.23 cubic feet) 36 x 15 x 35.75 = 9.231 cubic feet before displacement 9.231 – 2.48 = 6.751 cubic feet net

Oh wow. ^^ Didnt even notice the tuning until you pointed that out.

Hey, im from Ontario, Niagara Region, St.Catharines actually, if you need help with anything id love to help out.

Best shallow mount subwoofers iv ever heard of are the JL TW5.. You cant run much else other than a shallow mount with that much of a depth. I may be wrong but just my 2 cents.

(Not sure if I posted this in the right section sorry) Considering I'm in college, and I haven't been able to work that much through out the year Iv decided to try and make a little extra money on the side, along with helping out some fellow Canadians. I'm thinking about building a few subwoofer boxes for anyone around my area really. I highly doubt anyone will really even be living near me on here but its worth a shot.. Anyways, if you need some help building a box and live in the Niagara Region id love to help. Thanks.

Oh my mistake.. Im really not that knowledgeable on what is SQ and whats not.. Let me rephrase.. Looks like a quality HU!.
