tunnel isnt done there is alot air leaking into the bed and still need to redo one of the grounds in the big three and need to get rid of the current speaker wire(16guage) and get the 8 guage in. its kinda hard to see but the vid is a shot of the passenger window with a piece of paper in it http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f168/jcm...nt=MVI_4280.flv

started painting stuff today didnt really get anypics but i got bored tonight so i decided to go ahead and screw with the dome light. heres how it ended up. i think it turned out really cool it took forever but it was worth it.

got the hole cut and thats it.....doesnt seem like much but it was a huge accomplishment since it was pretty much the only thing holdin us up from doing anything else thanks again Ray for the help

sadly its not my truck....i can ask the owner tomorrow when he comes over. im pretty sure he got them within the last couple months though.

doors before power window switches added doors done.....kinda, the armrest and trim piece that goes around the handle are gettin sprayed black. alt came in today.....got it installed along with big 3 but forgot to get pics before truck left.

i got bored so i decided to hook the amp and subs up to my car. there is a bunch of air commin out that tunnel. you cant even keep your eyes open. i cant wait to get this in the truck. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f168/jcm...nt=MVI_

Raamat 5 layers on the roof 2 layers on the back wall

The Truck!

45ed the 45's to get a nice curve thats it for today. tomorrow i gotta finish the ports, the brace it and throw down a couple layers of glass.

The truck is a 2004 std. cab silverado Equipment --- Alpine deck CDT components Pioneer 2-channel 2 fully loaded 15" BL's Powerbass XA-3000D kinetik hc600 up front kinetik hc2000 in back 2 runs each of 1/0 pos and neg Big 3 Iraggi Alt subs are gonna sit in 3.5 cubes each after displacment tunned to 30hz with 100" of port combined. thats it for pics tonight my internet shuts off at twelve. ill post the rest of tonights progress tomorrow and should hopefully be able to finish the box up tomorrow as well

would you be interested in selling them?

anyone???? if not could someone direct me to a site or someone that could?

in theory if you doubled power and cone area you should see a 3db gain combined. you might only see 1-2 dbs or you could see 3-4dbs depending on the box, car, electrical, ect. there are many variables that could change this.

if you only have 10 cubes to work with dont go ported go sealed.

well like you said there are many variables when metering and i dont know how you metered the first time but if your using the new termlab meters there is no way your be able to hit a 150 if the meter is on the window with just 1 fifteen. however if your using a different meter or different meter placement you might be able to hit this but if its metered the same as before there is no way a change in box is gonna get you a 8db gain. if you want to get it louder i would decrease the box size down to 3 cubes for better power handling and raise the tunning a bit ( around 35hz or a lil higher depending on the music you listen too) and depending on how much port area you have now maybe make that a little smaller also to increase power handling slightly. i would also recomend putting more power behind it. if your just burping it the sub should be able to handle a little more power with no problem.

ya ive kinda been keeping those at the back of my mind. ive heard those things get lower than the bls but not quite as loud. i guess what im trying to figure out is i know these speakers get reall loud when they are maxing out so im just trying to figure whats gonna get loudest for the power. and in case it matters its gonna be for daily driving tunned to 29-30hz most likely in a fourth order bandpass.

either set up is going to be getting about 4400 rms

its kinda hard to compare these 2 choices thes subs are in different classes. I could maybe see if you were comparing the bl or q but this basically just comes down to weahter you want to blow your brains out or just be really loud and sound better doing it. i would personally go the BTL's but im an spl freak.

4 sealed should be louder that 2 ported. if your not going to be able to get close to 800 rms to each one i would only run 4 not six.
