Ok... i think iv figured it out. Smaller box. 7 cuft isnt going to work much at all... Ill be going 5.5 cu ft instead!. 18.5" tall, 30" wide and 28" deep. That will give me atleast a little bit of play room in my trunk and should work great!

I think im going to need to fire this forward towards the cabin or its not going to work.

Yes i did, sorry for the confusion. Its in the trunk firing rearward. I might have to fire it forward... idk i need to figure some more shit out. Right now my box is going to be 18.5" high, 30.5" deep, and 34" wide... I only have 19" of height clearance.. and there really isnt much room.

Yeah sorry for such the short post, in the middle of class. Ill get some numbers up soon

Alright... so with the dimensions i am using for my 18" BTL, it will give very limited space for air to move around the box. I was going to fire it into the trunk, BUT it will give little air space to move around the box to get back into the cabin. Will this be a major problem? If so ill need to rethink the build.

Thanks Impious.

I have no way of knowing (atleast that i know of) to let me know when my HU starts sending out a distorted signal and i dont trust me ears that much. So i was just wondering if anybody has personal experience with this head unit and at what volume it starts to distort. The previous owner told me not to turn it up past 24/35, but i have also heard that some alpine HU's aswell as other high quality HU's will be able to go up to full volume without distortion. Im starting my new build and want to re-do all the gains on my amps so this would take some guess work out of it. Thanks.

See thats what i was thinking dictator. Once it gets that peak volume it goes into protection momentarily because the gain is too high

First of all, a main rule is never to play your HU on anything over 3/4 max volume. You should only be playing it at about 24 max. That could be the problem, also check and make sure your gain isnt set too high.

May even be seriously clipping if the gain is too high?

so theres no actual 'port' its just a slot cut out of it?

Well. how much port area do you have in the box?

Girlfriend that bought you a 21" woofer. Dunno what else you could ask for,

Looks like it fits to me

Yep... that kinda fucked up stuff happens way too often. Sorry to hear it sir.

The time and effort it took into making that custom fuse block.... Ugh that makes me sad, this fuse block trumps my entire build. Props.

Well... im at my girlfriends house tonight... and tomorrow is football.. So ill do my best to get those pictures in on Monday

Hello Guys, I dont have any real pictures yet, but iv decided to get a little hype going for my first ever build. So heres what is going to be happening. Iv got a 2004 Impala, Currently with a set of Infinity 5.25 Reference components and Pioneer 6x9 coaxials in the back, powered by a PG Ti 500.4.. I had 2 Alpine Type X 10" and sold them. Now what will be happening with my current setup is as follows -Removing rear 6x9's to make room for my box in the trunk. -Replacing Infinity's with Bravox CS50k's -Keeping PG Ti 500.4 to power Bravox's -American Bass VLF 100.1 to power the subwoofer -18" Fi BTL N2 in the trunk, tuned to 32hz. Ill be building a box out of cardboard to make sure it will slide in nicely before i actually build the full thing. Pictures coming soon of my sub and amp, Ill also be posting the process of building my box (Be easy on me its my first time!)

Accidentally had a 40hz test tone in my playlist... I dont know how else to describe it.

Love the look of black rims on black cars/trucks. Very clean.

Thank you guys. Lots of help.

yeah but once you get into front stage and all this hes gonna end up spending more money then he wants to. Ill ask him, but i think the Dcon will work.

Any ideas of an amp while we are here? Dont want to sound lazy like i dont want to do research, im just not very familiar with all the good brands yet, and i know theres a lot of false info and crap on the internet, i can trust you guys though.

Dcons might be a good choice ^^
