Looks great! Very clean. Why did you run sups up port front? I have always run the port back. Just curious if you have tried both before. My 18's should be here tomorrow. Have not even started on the box.

If you take off the driver rear side panel you can put a yellow top in there. If there is a factory sub, just remove it.

"SQL"?? - You do realize you will be getting an email from //M5. LOL

If you are into spl you can find louder subs that the SSA, that is not what they designed it to do. The XCONS will however get plenty loud. Just look at the specs and you can see they are just as over designed as any true SPL subwoofer is, but where they really shine is how musical they are. Always precise and tight. They do not lose control and sound excellent on any music I have played them on. Not too many SQ subs on the market that can take 1800 - 2000w daily. For that 20 second fart on a test tone go elsewhere. Hell SSA will tell you the same, good guys that don't go to every forum playing fan boys. They want you to be happy even if it means suggesting a different sub. Truth. When you want to enjoy loud and low music all day, every day...........a SSA XCON is hard to beat. If you want to score a few db higher on a term lab then build a fart box and pile on the power to a different sub. A fart box would be a waste of this subs potential.

Looks good.

The enclosure looks clean as heell. Love the red.

Looks good and loud. I like the layout as mentioned above.

So...... With this warm weather I got a little more done today. I added a bead of silicone to the outside edge between my door pods and the door panel. Still not happy with it, but it looks 100% better without the gap. I will probably try another bead to build it up or I may break out the body filler and shape it. My goal is to have them perfectly smooth to the door, but I made the pods a little too fat. No problem since the paint matches my door panel exactly, it's nothing I cant fix. They sound badass. Since I am without subs for a little while longer the 8's are doing a fine job. I noticed today that my rear view and side mirrors were shaking. Mid bass FTFW! I have a few sheets of Dynamat Extreme to spare so I added a sheet to the hood for the hell of it. Thats pretty much it as far as deadening except for the headliner behind the rear seats. Once my order of dynaliner shows up I will put the rest of the deadener and the liner up there. It made a big difference when I did the headliner from the 3rd row forward. Killing the buzz from the headliner has made a huge difference. Really tightened up the low end getting rid of all that noise. The big project starts this week when I get the 18's.

Dear woofers, xoxoxo

I am loving the new boxes. I wish I could give one a test drive. Damn nice thumpper.

OUCH! No, your amp has failed. Sorry bro. I am sure you can work something out with Sundown.

You may have to experiment, but I think it looks good. Hopefully some truck owners will chime in. Maybe you could contact one of the builders on here and pick their brain. I am sure they would be happy to tell you what has worked best for them. Have you considered using aero ports? Might be easier. BTW, you build looks very nice. Keep the pics coming.

We have been patient with you two long enough. Stop dick'n around and put up the pics and vids.

Thanks man. She needs to hurry up and get ready. Does she think we are still dating or what?

welcome

Got a good bit done today and after a quick listen, it did make a nice difference. My door panels are not buzzing and the mid bass tightened up a good bit more. Once my Ensolite shows up I think I am going to be set. I am really enjoying the hell out of the Dynaudio set. They are sounding better and better. Bought 3 cans of this And used it to spray both front door panels. Also sprayed the inside of both mid bass pods to add a little mass to them Added some expanding foam to some areas on the door panel as well as the inside of the door pods Added some silicone to any areas that were not sealed, probably not needed, but I had some and used it anyway. Added some acoustic foam directly behind the mid bass. Removed the cassette deck (lol) and cut a piece of plexi to install my digital voltage meter. Installed my Iragqi 260 amp alternator and a new belt. Damn belts are high. $48. Fuck! On deck..... I am going to repaint the door pods bacause I ran a bead of silicone around them to make them air tight from th eback of the mid bass. Plus I think it will clean up the install a little bit and make them look a little more factory. I will take some pics tomorrow when I am done. I have a pair 18" XCONS that will be here Tuesday. I have not decided if I am going to build my box or let my Friend do it. He owns a cabinet shop and his business is very slow. He is practically begging me to do it and I may let him to help him out as long as his price is not crazy. I am sure he would do the same for me. The kids are with grandparents so tonight me and the wife are going to a little bar to eat a steak and drink a few. Hopefully I will get her buzzed enough to get lucky tonight. LOL

Love the background in this shot. Simply a great photo. Edit to add - minus the trash cans. lol Nice rides man.

I think I see a wiener in this pic?

I Say you should convince the lady to put some FI's in it Here are some pics..... Looks good man. I like the ass showing through that plexi. As for the wife, wont happen. No where to put all the loot from her shopping excursions.

Show the vids man. My wife wants a commander, but I doubt she would go for the BTL. lol

Pretty much anything my wife wants to watch.

on the internet too. I suck at this.

I guess you didnt read anything he said, he would like to keep it under 1000 watts. Does that $1200 budget apply to subs, amp, box, wiring, electrical upgrades or just subs and amps? AND? With $1200 he could buy a battery which he would probably need with 1,000w. Whats your point?

Click ! Little bit more than 1000w, but you will want a bigger battery with 1000w anyway.

A box with wheels.
