I highly recommend that You at least try it. Make up a simple big ported and drive it for a few days - a week. If it's too much (vs. Your sealed now), pull it out. If You love it, do the full 1/2 wall install :D

I like the cone & cap/heatsink idea I'm very surprised to see that surround on Your driver ...waiting to exhale. -Nick

awesome.... -Nick

Would only be cool to own one for rarity's sake IMO.

in all honesty - for the setup You have proposed (Just that Hifonics), I seriously doubt You'll need an alt or an extra battery. Anyone that tells You ANY battery "sucks after a year" has some problems with their vehicle or install. If You are not competing (alot), then the battery will rarely see a drain that the alternator can 'replace' in a few minutes of driving. Yellow Tops have an AH of 55 (iirc). Meaning that they can withstand a 20amp draw for 55 hours before being completely discharged (10.2ish vdc). Mind You, this is 55hours constant draw, no recharging. Get whichever popular brand battery You can afford & fit easily. You don't need kinetiks & blue tops & the like unless You are chasing tenths. But, hey, it's Your money. -Nick

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL - its in the blood. Can't complain about that I'm impressed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I dialed the HU up she would've been louder. The tests were done with my version of the "natural" EQ settings / no BBE / no Loud / and sub level -2 notches. With other woofers, the settings were more similar to the "SuperBass" EQ with +2 BBE among other things. I took a short trip to take a friend to buy a car. About 45minutes each way. All in all, this is a low end headache. My truck is no small arena... but You may as well have been sitting on a jackhammer for some songs - She's got output. I've dialed her down quite a bit and she blends perfectly now (except that I have no mids right now - there is a hole in my install from ~70-180hz for blown midbasses) and sounds great. I am already leaning towards putting the Uber back in the house and letting her sit until the distant HT project. It's still a bit much for me to drive daily. LoL -Nick

woohoo, the tweet wiring was simply loose... what a slack install didnt make time to rip out the Midbass... will have to wait for the JBL's Off to work. Kent - I'm going tomorrow morning to check out the donor car. I'll holler at You afterwords... I was getting some ridiculous prices for shipping.

I might've been able to get her up to 145ish, the smell started so, I stopped testing. It's harder to put up dB's at lower frequencies as well... so a 142 @ 36/37hz makes me much happier then a 145 @ 48-50hz. This box also runs about 1/2 as much port area as i would normally start with for spl. Sounds badass as well. Lost a touch of accuraccy from the 1.2ish ft sealed she was in... but sounds a helluva alot better then anything that i've heard in quite some time. Even though i have smoked my rear midbass woofers... I have the Uber rolling off around 65hz to help make it up. -Nick

nope, one is pending sale (was waiting on recone parts). The other I am keeping. Unless You're thinking of the SX's... those are long gone.

:poof:

Fedex came today... 15" MT parts & baskets. MB Quart 5.25 comps for the sister's mazda.

if I post some pics, will You feel better? LOL

LoL... sorry. *Hi* :wave:

and, i couldnt help but do some SPL testing. Wierds me out, but the peak freq. dropped an octave ( ), instead of 48-50hz, its now in the 36-39hz range. I did very LIMITED testing though - only bout 1/2 hour - so <shrug> With the deck at my "musical" setttings (EQ, high/low passes) she knocked out a 142.2 @ 37hz with an actual 1208wrms from the Orion 2500D. 4.59 actual DCR on a warm motor (wired to 1.6ohm nominal). After 1/2 an hour of testing at this level, the Uber was too warm for my comfort - so NO testing done with the "burp" settings. Prolly would picked up a few dBs though. For reference, I'd gotten the DD9915 w/(2) 2500D's up to ~148 on full tilt. -Nick

and setup: Please bare in mind that the IMP figures shown are incorrect. The map was the important part for me.

Hid all the wiring for the 4ch amp

So... Last update for a while for the truck. SPL has become 3rd on the priority list - meaning the truck will not see any more burps for a while. I had to have some kind of sub-stage though... so Uber it is 4.8ft, 42in of port tuned to ~34hz. Orion 2500D (for now). Box is still rough and ugly (I tore down the DD box aforementioned and rebuilt it into this). After a few days of trial period, if this box design stays, I'll make her pretty.
