here is a couple more pics...i'm gonna start bondo tommorow. i'm painting it black w/ "soundstream" in pink...don't ask me, i said it'd be ugly too! but that what she wants. i tried to talk her into tan leather, to match her interior. but she's seen the stuff i've painted before, and she would rather wait an extra week for a freakin 10hr paint job! in case you couldn't tell, the flat part (that you cant see) goes against the back seat, and the flat part in the front is where the amp is gonna be mounted...

well i shipped it off today. it had some pros and cons.... it sounded out great sealed, but lacked the output i expected. granted i was running the boxes a little on the big side, but this was a demo to see what worked and what didn't. when i opened it up, and ran it 6.5ft @ 32Hz it definatly had ALOT more output. it had and akward peak around 50, which is why mike suggest porting ~15Hz. this thing is a low end monster, but in the same respect you gotta feed it! w/ the power i had available (880w @ 4ohm) i believe there is better to be had. i dropped in my sisters soundstream T4 12 in the same box, w/ the same power, and had some of my friends listen, and we all agreed that the T4 was louder, and the LMT was cleaner. i just didn't have the power and/or the box that the sub wanted. but there is no doubt in my mind that the LMT would hand the T4 its ass in a different setup.

i just took the demo out of my car. i had it tuned to ~32 and ~37...and it just had an akward peak in the upper 40's - 50's. but you would figure FS would be lower given all the moving mass

i would love to, i can tell this female dog is power hungry. but w/ out the cable, i'm afraid i'm not even gonna try

http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...ter/rls12.3.wmv well heres a little vid with my sisters amp. 880w @ 4ohm. it sounds alot better now. i'm amazed at how much authority this thing has on the low notes.

i'd go no smaller than 3ft per sub after displacements. as for port, i'd try for around 100in^2 @ 34-35.

well my friend came over, and he don't have a sync cable i could probably come close syncing the amps w/ a meter. . . but its not something i wanted to do when neither the amps or sub is mine. so later today i might get the other amp in.

ya i droped my 12 soundstream T4 in the same box i was using for the RL-s, and it did way better. with the impedance being so high, i'm probably only giving it 5-600 watts so i took it out of my car for the time being no sence in breaking it. tommorow i'm meeting my friend and putting first a single bd1000, then strapping the pair to it i think i may even borrow the amp i got my sister far a week, it does 880w @ 4ohm, and if its as underrated as my soundstream, it'll be at least 1k

what i didn't realize about this SVC 3ohm sub...is that i measured the coil earlier at 4.5ohm i got less power than i thought

soundstream db extreme

i'm doing this for my sister for her 16th birthday. this is her car, speaker, amp, and box.....

i got it today. i haven't had a lot of time to listen to it. i had it started out in 7ft sealed. didn't sound to bad, but not alot of output. opened her up...6ft @ 37Hz. ALOT more output. i'm running the bare min 800w, this baby is power hungry! w/ less than 1000w i've heard better...sorry mike this weekend i'm getting together w/ my friend, and were gonna play w/ LOTS of power maybe strapping it to a pair of bd1000's here is some pics of it sitting by my 15's, holding its own, and my ghetto box for it.

now its time for the REALLY big boxes.

i got some pics.... more later.....

i got it all put together this morning (no glue) maybe later today i'll pull my seats out and see if it fits. if not i'll have to do the final build INSIDE the car i don't see any reason it shouldn't. i don't know what the chambers are tuned to. i had hexibase design it for me, and i trust he know his chit. it was designed for a near flat responce from 30-100Hz, w/ a nasty peak ~85Hz that the TL should love i think he said F3 was 23, so it'll still get crazy low too. i can't wait, all this talkin about it. the only thing stopping me is the LMT is coming to me next and i don't wanna loss all my room to play. i'll have pics later tonite..

on the clock, hell ya...

i started on my new box today. 6th order series bandpass.

its already got a cheapo h/u and a decent set of coaxils up front, and ya she is a basshead i'm glassing it in the back. i'm wanting to get as close to 3ft as i can...but i will settle for 2 ported @~35Hz...it'll be sweet

i'm in charge of picking out her system, and installing it. i got a T4-12 tarantula and a soundstream 880w amp. got all this for right around $350. not bad for a first system... i still have to build a box, i'm fiberglassing in her eclipse anyways what do you guys think?

damn 3.5ohm VC! i'll have ~800w to it. since i forgot all about the demo and i get an email saing expect the driver in a week or two. i'm not gonna have alot of money to be building a bunch of different boxes for it. i'll be using my current box for my 15's. i'm gonna slug it for 5ft @ 25Hz. and then do 6ft sealed. i'm gonna try to talk my friend into letting me borrow his amp that does ~1500 @ 4ohm:) i'm just glad he mailed me when he did...this weekend i was ripping everything out and walling it off, and would of had no room for the 12.

when i was in the planning stage, i heard from several people that series tuned will have a broader bandwidth, and the parallel would have more of a peak...i'm already loud i do a 144 right now, even if the box doesn't peak as high, i'll make up for it in cabin gain, going from a box in the hatch to a wall.

i'm kinda hoping that i can put it together, take the seats out, and slide it in...but i bet its gonna be a bich!!

i'm getting ready to wall of my car @ the b-pillar, w/ a series tuned 6th order bandpass for my 2 15's i'm hoping to be in the 150's w/ this setup. here is the plan for my wall, and a pic of the old setup.....(except i'm running soundstream dbx 15's, not the RL-p's) what do you think???

where's the pics? i ain't been on in a while, so this is the first i've seen of it. in all of my tests (in my little car @~1700w) i liked the 6ft box. i never had the room to go w/ any bigger port than 70". but i always wanted to do a bigger port. i thought the port was holding it back. good luck w/ them. i'm glad they're doing you good.

i'd like to see 4 RF bd1000's
