umm big 3 I see your point jon! maybe that will be the new weekend project lol! as for positioning of the sub well I told him to toss it sub and port shooting back but when I got there the box was already in and the amp was mounted where it is now so I just said screw it it should be loud enough and it is for him so I am not worried about it. thanks for your comments and help! Kenneth

give this thread a look over and ask edouble101's for some info! his profile, http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/user/15405-edouble101/

believe it or not it is pretty loud and low! the box is 2ft^3 tuned to 30hz, as for the ground it is working so I am happy with it! lol! what would you rather I do with the ground?

So on the weekend I decided to install my little brother sound system with him in his 1996 ford escort and I thought I would toss on a few pics! First the equipment. Box design: by Ram, also a member on this forum http://www.ram-designs.com/quote.php Voltmeter: from Shizzzon Sub: SA12 d2 from Jacob as being sold as Used, B-Stock, Refurbished Amps, and MISC (some of you may recognize the title) Amp: SAZ1000 reburb from db-r H/U: JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 from crutchfield http://www.crutchfield.com/s_105KDAHD79/JVC-Arsenal-KD-AHD79.html?tp=5684 Wiring: all from KNU Switch: 12vdc 10amp A little more info my little brother build and colored the box completely. I just helped with the sub hole, and wiring the sub/ system. O and the voltmeter is a non-adjusting voltmeter with an auto dimmer! so basically plug it in and you are good to rock and roll, unlike those stinger ones which are always to damn bright and some times you have to calibrate them with the POD. The only down side to the voltmeter that I picked up is I had to wire in a switch to turn it off and on which isn't a big deal but the newer ones that shizzzon is selling have a remote turn on lead! I also didn't do the big 3 to my little brother car as it was holding 13volts minimum at full tilt! so I didn't feel he needed it. (knock on wood) I think he did a pretty good job! and with that enjoy the pics and please pass on any and all comments! Car off and some of wiring pics thanks for viewing! also for those wondering if you remove the rear seat and fold down the backs of the rear seats you can make a WALL very easily! with 100inch plus back to front with about 38wide and whatever tall! lol! good times! you can kind a see it in this picture! and we didn't have any two-way tape at the time so we could tape the voltmeter to the bottom of the ash tray

Just use screws and washers a lot of people do. Not sure what size screw maybe 5/16 or 3/8 or something metric of similar size

a what?

no clue what you are doing but I am tuned in for sure!

good catch! I didn't see that off hand on my smart phone (dumb phone) and build log for sure! and pictures once it all gets in!

good start!

That is awesome but what did you buy?

so what is left?

wow! awesome! congrats!

I would say the Z, but what are your goals? and how much is said box and power?

BUY it and take some pics man! also double check your wiring on your sub, you said you have d1 sub and you want to wire it to 1ohm?

in the middle! lol! take a pic of the dial, and tell us the upper and lower limits! or upper limit minus the lower then divide by 2, and this will give you the mid scale! and this should help you find the sweet spot! also once you get it set you may in the future have to fine tune it up or down depending on how the setup is working and other factors

I am!!!!!!! Me two!

wow what is the box specs? 1cubic net at 35-38hz? it looks really nice though! carpet ftw! or maybe paint the box the color of the car?

GOOD news the IXOS company is sending me 3ft for free to test! plus I am getting the DC power wire to test from a member, and some bullz audio wire also! I will post names once I get them! also I have welding supplies I will be adding sooner then later! so just to recap: IXOS DC Power Welding supplies Bullz

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a plastic rod in the center? And since this is DC, there obviously doesn't need to be a test to show marketing BS here... you know it felt like plastic to me but I didn't look into it to much.

to funny! lol! I do enjoy a good laugh every now and then and you never stop putting them up lol! and I wonder what kind a sub stage that flux in his car could power! lol! (lol the first part of the movie with the kid in the garage with the guitar lol)

thanks man!

well that doesn't make any sense how did Dr. Emmett Brown (from the back to the future series) only use 1 flux and still travel back and forth in time... it must have been the plutonium! and even his flux made like 1.2 gigawatts of power! (rms lol) lol.. yea 2 questions about that... What size wire was he using in his car? 5000/0 wire? Or did it step up the voltage to 1,000,000V? Hmm... wonder what kind of protection that wire had? ya i don't know maybe 4/0 bigger! nice 0:35seconds into this clip the wire he is holding onto lol! then near the end when the car runs into the wire!

which picture are you referring to? or did you mean over all. well on the subjective review I liked the Cadence wire, and if you want CCA go with the KNU KCA wiring!

thanks! keep an eye out for my next comparison test! The next one will be using sound deadeners, say about 3-5different brands, and 22 gauge steel lol! (this one might not work out but keep an eye out) Excellent. I have a sample of DC Power 1/0 on its way to my house. Do you want me to send you a piece? Hey man I would love a piece! check your p/m's It's on! Remember it is DC Power Inc. wire not XS Power good call! time to edit lol!
