Back to the updates on the build: Bought a tablet to use as an in-dash audio control but ended up changing my mind and going with a 1st Gen Ipad More Goodies Port done and coated with resin Test fit Router jig really helped out alot with the holes 3 inch thick baffle

Here are some vids of my last box i forgot to post. View My Video View My Video

Went to a show this past weekend. heres some pics i took.

Update since last post: Filled in all the spaces and gaps with poly-fill and foam matting, sealed with aluminum tape, finished the support/false floor, started the enclosure, and built an enclosure for my mids and highs. Also got my american bass 350.4 amp which is going to need a hospital visit(in pics).

Update: Got started on the base/Support and am in the process of sound proofing the underside to cut down on as much road noise as i can on a budget. Also got some more goodies in the mail. Still waiting on my American Bass 350.4 however

Its a "Sawstop" Professional series. The program was off of http://www.decibelcar.com/apps/108-slotcalc.html

Dont know if i calculated this correctly. Using multiple subs and a bigger enclosure is making everything hard to calculate. This is everything i plugged into the calculater. Trying to stick to around 20 sq inches per Cubic feet so in total i would have 160sq inches for 12 subs in a 9 cubic feet box. Port is 28 tall, 6 inches wide, and 35 inches long for a 32 hz tuning. At least that is what the calculator tells me. Any input? sound about right?

Bought some new toys to make the whole process easier! New table saw, router, and Jasper tool for making perfect circles(Not shown)

The calm before the storm. You know your a basshead when.....

3/4 inch birch for the false floor/foundation

Old box is out and getting ready for the wall build

About to order my mids and highs and am planning on running a 5K High pass filter crossover with them. The website specifies that they can handle 250 watts RMS and are rated at 8ohm. I am planning on getting 4 selenium 8ohm tweeters and running them in parallel to have a final ohm load of 2. My question is, do i only need 1 crossover which would be wired right at the exit of the amplifier channel before it goes into the 4 selenium tweeters or do i need to wire a 5K high pass crossover to EACH tweeter and THEN wire them in parallel? Hope that made sense.

yessirr! so eager to get the funding for the other 2 3500's, then i can start on the extension of the amp rack to accommodate my mids and highs amp

Update: UPS delivered me my other 6 subs that i ordered. I also picked up an XS battery, as well as made an amp rack in preperation for my other 3 amps i will be getting soon. Enjoy

Update: Just placed my order for another 6 SA-8 V2's. Should get here around friday

Not trying to turn this into a poll or a design thread, just looking for input before i start to build the false floor and design/plan further.

I prefer this look. Just out of curiosity, why all the 8's? I'm not trying to bag on your setup, just wondering why not use a larger driver and less of them. dont know how the numbers are going to look with the port covered mostly by the seat but can give it a go if i decide to go this route. As far as why... well i had 6 already so might as well get 6 more. Plus havnt seen a wall done with 8's before. Would be pretty unique and one of a kind. Again, don't know how the numbers will stack up tho...

Sundown SA-8 V2's

Or theres my 2nd design. What do you guys think? Any input?

Upcoming design im thinking about giving a shot. not to scale or anything, just a rough estimate of what im thinking.

Attended my first bass race last week and ended up scoring this on completely stock electrical.

Last Teasers before the official video demo.
