At break right now at work, so sure why not. Lets see them pics.

I used 3/8 x 1-1/2" for mine. As far as the grade, or type of aluminum just go with 6061-t6.

I would like to hear your explanation. I second the motion. Your truck is very very interesting dbDon. There is a local chap with a similar truck trying to do the same as you are but nowhere near as loud. He is using some quality gear. I myself would like to gather the knowledge to one day give it a try myself. Now knowing that dbDon is clamping nearly 3k out of the Sundown1500 the 6db gain is more inline with theory of double the power, gain 3db. Also just to clarify, I understand the economics involved when stepping up to bigger amps versus adding cone area. This is all very interesting.

I don't know what your talking about. What this guy has done is just magical. Cone area or not, those are 3k rated N3s getting just under 400watts each. There's more to it than just cone area. I don't think the same is possible with 4 dcons. Then again I don't know much about anything. Very impressive vid none the less.

I lol'ed at that one. Pretty soon it'll be time to watch the GCB on ABC. I love Sundays.

O_o New amps??!!! Is someone waiting for a shipment of NS-1s to come in Keep the good stuff coming. It cracks me up it says "newbie" under your user name. "Newbie", yeah right.

Good deal. Nice vid to boot. Congrats on the new upgrade.

Nice woofers. In for results. Now get to building.

Here is a calculator of sorts http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=27 Here is some info on the terminology http://www.diysubwoofers.org/bnd/4thord1.htm Good luck.

Congrats on the win. I hope Leo took it well. Box looks sweet, very classy. Still bummed I couldn't make it. Hope to meet up with you guys at another show.

Excellent work on the block. Nothing like taking some leisure time while on a big project. Glad to see you enjoying it all. Keep up the good work.

Trunk is looking classy. Excellent work man! Congrats.

O_o bout time

Are the baskets sand cast or die cast? I can see what look like ejector pin locations on the inside of the basket, but I am not sure. From an engineering perspective, the baskets do not have a uniform wall thickness, leading to shrinking and out of roundness issues. Just recently I tinkered with a pair of 15s with 12 spoke baskets where the diameters were under sized causing a driver centering issue and the mounting screws not catching the wood. The drivers I messed with were not SSA per say but they were 1st gen BTLs. Just a thought.

Yay, for old man Duran. Make it a memorable one for your next trip around the sun. Enjoy the ride.

I've used PWK designs. They've worked out well. If you don't opt for the rush pack then it is a little slow to get your design. As for comparing his design versus some one elses I couldn't say. I will say this, you better know exactly what you want and why you want it. It's a give and take situation, you might want something and not realize that you end up giving up something else to get it, then you're left with a sour taste in your mouth. Good luck and keep us posted with what you go with.

looks cool.

I had not heard of them until now, that should say something. Odd that a brand named Everest in located in Florida..... I have a co-worker named Everist. :\ Nice amp, now get to building and show us your build skillz. Nice to see you round these parts of the intra-web.

Awe schucks man you gonna make me blush infront of all the ladies. Soon enough I'll be up and running. Who knows, I might just get a wild hair and bust out without notice. O_o

Eh, you know me, just kicking pebbles. I got my box figured out, I think, but I've still got some wire issues to work out. Maybe the show in March, maybe.

Lol those dds r loud enough right Ban!, for being a smarty pants. Cant wait to see them in action.

Hey there! Look who's back. Bummer bout blowing the woofers, kick ass carnage tho. Nice that you were able to salvage the box. Better luck this time around.

Bout dang time.

Great pics Jon. Congrats on your win and congrats to all those who competed. It was a good show, made some new friends, and got to get back in touch with old friends. Cant wait till the next one.

Hey there guy, glad you made it over. Hope you like it over here, lots of swell guys over here with lots of good info to share and help out with.
