My mounting hole is also a little tight because I didn't have a router or jasper jig. I just used a jig saw and left it a little small. When the sub came in today I used a dremel drill to make the hole just big enough for the bl to fit in. Maybe a little air is leaking underneath the mounting gasket or something.

If it is an airleak it is probably where I ran the wire through the box. I tried caulking around them but it was kind of a piss-poor job. The noise wasn't on the higher frequencies it was only on the lower notes where the air was really coming out of the port.

My 10'' bl came in today and I couldn't wait to hear how my box turned out. Here's a picture of what it looks like: The box is roughly 1.15@33hz with a 3'' aeroport. But when the lower bass notes (in rap) were played, there was a very distinct "slapping" noise coming from inside the port to the beat of the bass. Is this considered port noise? Or could it be that one of the wires inside the enclosure is too long and is hitting the side of the box/sub? Or could it be a leak somewhere? It is very noticeable, especially because it is behind the seats in a reg cab pickup and the port is firing up right behind your head.

If you can fit a 4+ cubic foot box in there go for a 15. Remember you have to account for displacement for the woofer and the port, which can easily be over a cubic foot if you tune in the low 30's. You have to realize you are going to get mixed opinions from different people on here on which driver to get. Just read about each one, make a decision, and enjoy!

ok thanks....I have a vice at my disposal so I'm going to go that route I guess. Keep up the good work!

If you build a solid enclosure you should be able to meet your goals with a 12'' bl no problem.

The bl should sound better on music but the btl should get louder. It all depends on what you are looking for I guess.

what did you use to crimp the terminals onto the 1/0?

the wing really brings the car together

Kicker PKD1 1/0 AWG Dual Amp Install Kit Is it this one? Yeah, that's the one. I ordered it on 6/4 and it was $94.99 if you count shipping. Maybe you can send them an email and ask why it is $30 more now?

isn't this the second thread you started on this topic?

what size is your current alternator?

I bought it from mobilesoundworks.com for $90 + shipping but I just checked their website and it is $120 all of a sudden???

I also just bought the rsd's for $87 shipped on audiosavings.com

That actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that.

speaking of which......I ended up going to the Sox game that night......and they won.

get the kicker hyperflex 1/0 kit. I just got it and its incredibly flexible. It can be found for under $100.

Oh ok. I had some 3/4'' left so I made some baffles this morning for the 6.5's. Turns out that 3/4'' is going make the speaker sit right up against the door panel, so I ordered some adapter plates off ebay. It only ended up being $13 with shipping so it was probably only a couple bucks more than buying some 1/2'' or a sheet of abs and making them myself. As for the tweeter, I think I'm going to take your advice and put them on that panel that goes around the door handle.

defininately not hifonics....go with sundown audio

I know....which is why i'm pissed at the tigers right now. I was hoping you wouldn't catch that.

Yeah I'll give it to the Wings. But White Sox are winning it again this year! Carlos Quentin is a beast.

haha I'm doing an internship right now too. All I do is look on here when I'm not busy.....like right now.

oh haha. i wasn't even going to say anything about michigan because I love going there. But as long as I'm getting heated on, the Tigers blow too.

what does FIB mean

haha x2. Especially the Packers.
