ok folks..today i did some ported testing... box...re recommended 2.5ft^3, 36in^2 of port, tuned to 30hz... power...memphis 1500d @ 4ohm, rated 750wrms the vehicle/placement....2004 silverado x-cab. sitting on top of back seat facing forward. the results... again today i listened to country, rap and rock. and ummmmm......... i might as well do this together... at 750 wrms, these subs are really close in this box. both get low, but not real loud. both move quite a bit and sound really nice at low to mid volumes. both produce a hollow noise at upper volumes...almost like they were both bottoming out. but i don't think they are... what got me was there was no clear difference in output between the two. the xxx appeared teh louder of the two sealed, yet didn't seem to gain anything in this box. the rl-p wasn't far behind sealed, but is dead even ported. in reality, neither one was impressive with their output. i was kinda disappointed, but tuning and vehicle probably have more to do with this then anything. sq wise, IMO, the rl-p is still the better sounding of the two. double kicks are crisper and the transistions were seamless. both subs exhibit very little overhang and keep up with the music effortlessly. the xxx does keep up in the rumble catagory this time! both subs could reach the lowlows, there was no distinct difference as in the sealed box. again, both subs seemed to handle the power fine, but i'm not for sure what was causing the hollow sound. it could just be that the subs are reproducing the kick sound in the kick drum more accurately then i'm used too..lol... again, i think the output of both subs kinda got me. they just seemed to be boring. nothing impressive, just there. i mean both were loud, but sealed box loud..again, i guess tuning had alot to do with that. i don't think either sub really like this box. it just made both subs fall flat at the top. i don't know, but the two tens that are normally in there off that same power crush both of these subs output wise in this box. maybe it's the vehicle's transeit response, the tens are tuned to 38hz. either way...i think i'm building a different box..lol...and doing this again. if i were to choose..i'd flip a coin. for while i think the rl-p is crisper, the xxx sounds just as good. but both subs disappointed in the output part. tomorrow, i run new wire and install the orion...1200wrms is coming. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick has whee envy.... :dancingsmilie: :gheychase: wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick..i'm going to run new just because..lol...i might just want 25kw+ hehe plus i'm going to get a good deal on it..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

everybodies whee is mini compared to me!!! hehe (esp. nicks!!! ) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

15.5" tall x 34" wide x 18.5" deep port will be 14" tall x 3" wide x 25.1" long this will roughly give u a net of 3.5ft^3 tuned to 34hz. using 3/4" mdf build that box, face it towards the rear...if u don't like it, turn it around..lol ur welcome! but facing is just like sq..preference...but i believe u'll almost always get better output facing the rear wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummmmm..no. i gotta run all new wire..lol... i will run the xxx and the rl-p in the new ported enclosure, but just off of 750wrms or so...(memphis 1500d @ 4ohm), then i'll run new wire..then i'll try to figure how in the hell i'm gonna get that big bastard in my truck..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hmm..i think u just asked a legit question... try maxima.org i believe...i quoted a box for a guy with an infinty something...i believe that was the website he used to send me pics of his trunk. hopefully it will and u'll already have ur box designed!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thank u man...i apppreciate it! some dude already offered to buy it today..lol... it would've torn his hooptie apart.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick..ur chrrrrrrrrrlg ga g shiny object..................................... oh yeah...ur charggggggggggggggggggggggg /\wd asda a shiny toy....... ur charger...we'll pick up the prety shiny htiong sitting on my kitchen table... we'll pick it up tomorrow and plug that bad mammajamma into my truck... what was i saying?? oh yeah!!! we (she) found u a charger, we'll pick it up tomorrow and get it shipped... there's a real nice 2.5ft^3 vented enclosure with 36in^2 of port tuned to 30hz in my garage... wonder what it's for?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

my favorite part.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hey guys...read some... also, i'm building the ported box for the comparo.. and installing another system in an alero... all while chewin gum... yup, multitasking at it's finest... nick..square plug or round plug into the camera? steve, how much for another jewelry box like ur making for nicko? and i've got to rewire my entire truck with 1/0...thanks nick!!! lmao... hmmmm wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok..here's what i figured out.. these are external dimensions.. 15.5" tall x 34" wide x 18.5" deep port will be 14" tall x 3" wide x 25.1" long this will roughly give u a net of 3.5ft^3 tuned to 34hz. using 3/4" mdf mike, whatcha think? 00maxima, if that won't fit, lemme know...and let me know where it won't fit.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol wow me and u got the similar results with a given space...but to be honest mrray...my design will give him alittle more output...my port is 48sq inch yours is 42sq inch...and its and inch shorter than yours...but we both have about the same total cubic space of 3.5...i'm impressed...what program do u use by the way...i use bass box pro 80 bb6p...lol.....ur also tuned a lil higher then i am...the output will be so close as to not matter a bunch... loud and low..the only way to go!!! mike...ur welcome! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i am for sure leaning this way as well...my ported box is about done.... also, geoffry(spl) at ca.com doesn't like his 15 xxx sealed in 2.5ft^3 with a viper 1200.1. his words.."it gets loud..but that's all..sounds clean..but doesn't change the air pressure" so i wonder why noone really spoke of this sooner? i guess they were afraid of being flamed..no offense 97... it's a nice sub, it's just looking like it's a bit picky... mike....a 2k wrms sub would be kewl!! but u gotta lemme demo the proto!!! btw..no thanks needed...ur product "spoke" for itself!!! as does ur customer courtesy! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

will do tonight. I read that the camera gets plugged into the wall... but I have no wall plug for it. Tis all. Will do tonight. Thanks Kent... ...and Kent's wife -Nick ur welcome..i'm just tryin to keep the deal square.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

my wife got ghetto booty like that..hehe 36-24-36...only if she's 5'3".... yep. he described my wife to a tee.. i like em round and big..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick..i need to know if u need the square end plug or the round...to fit into the camera. that's what used as the charger base..the camera itself.. lemme know so she can get on tomorrow wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it might have as much as j-lo.... ported... get it? j-lo..ported.... nevermind... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick..get on aim if ya can...lol.. or chat here if u can't wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i dunno what i expected..lol...but i like's it!! there isn't a way to charge the battery at all? lemme know...i'll have my wife secure a charger for it. don't buy one. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok..here's what i figured out.. these are external dimensions.. 15.5" tall x 34" wide x 18.5" deep port will be 14" tall x 3" wide x 25.1" long this will roughly give u a net of 3.5ft^3 tuned to 34hz. using 3/4" mdf mike, whatcha think? 00maxima, if that won't fit, lemme know...and let me know where it won't fit.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

he already knows..it's in his forum...lol but i guess that guy bought his xxx and is entitled to "talk smack" about it... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:slayer:

the pics are on the primary installer's camera. he is supposed to let me download them unto my computer so that i can post them around. it is sweet...we should be able to hear it for the first time today... i still don't know what h/u is going in...but here's another list of parts.. front...memphis sq 6.5's rears...memphis sq 6.5's subs...memphis m-class 8's amp...memphis mc1300d..the big belle satellite radio...xm.. majority of car is brown breaded, as are the sub boxes and panels. all new wire was run for all speakers. the belle is attached to the bracing on the fuel tank. here's the gimmik....no useable space was lost. for anything. other then the amp in the trunk and tweeters in the front doors..the car has lost zero room..and the subs are not IB. i'll let ya know how it sounds..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
