Posted September 9, 200718 yr Finally got some time to do my Wifes build for Bass Race. Equipment is 4 MJ 18s and a Massive Audio P3000.1. 18.5 cubes tuned to 30 hz. On to the pics any comments or critisim is always welcome.what Im working with.the old boxesthe woodsome scrapssome togetherthe portjust needs the topin the vanshould have made it taller.This will be walled off behind the second row of seats. Bracing will be in the form of threaded rod. The only reason its in the van now is cause I dont have any room in the garage for it. Edited September 9, 200718 yr by Stu Padasso
September 9, 200718 yr Author yeah you should have made it a bit taller but other than that it looks goodAfter thinking about it I can use the extra space for bracing. I'll put 2x4s up there to brace the top.
September 10, 200718 yr Admin Looks great, do you have any plans to brace the box or double the baffle?
September 10, 200718 yr Looks great, do you have any plans to brace the box or double the baffle? yea looks great, i wanna do one now too
September 10, 200718 yr I thought the P3000.1 was a lot bigger.. or am I missing something?Looks awesome either way though, I only hope for a wife that would let me rip apart her minivan someday.

September 10, 200718 yr Looks like a ZR 240?Prob so, the 360 I use to have was a lil bigger than that.
September 11, 200718 yr Author heres a few pics of my Massive p3000.1 sorry for thread jacking... No problem I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say something. Its a ZR120 for the fronts. Had to have something for the ride to work. The Massive in sitting in the house waiting.
September 11, 200718 yr Author As for bracing there will be threaded rod and triple baffle. The rear of the box will be doubled up as well.
September 11, 200718 yr hurry up and get it finished and on the meter ...oh and some videos please looks good i just wanna see your end result so i know what to expect
September 11, 200718 yr Author Bad news I'm tearing it all out. Kind of disappointed with the box design. Cant do hair tricks. Sounds ok its loud but the wall has moved the freq up to about 55 and need to refigure the box to maxamise the resonance freq.
September 12, 200718 yr Bad news I'm tearing it all out. Kind of disappointed with the box design. Cant do hair tricks. Sounds ok its loud but the wall has moved the freq up to about 55 and need to refigure the box to maxamise the resonance freq. Are you tuning your new box freq to 55 or are u going to try to change the whole resonance freq? If your just going to tune the box to 55 there's an easier way than tearing the whole thing out and starting again.

Plus its tuned to low. I need it tuned a little higher (35-40) to utilitized the peak of the van.It is 18.5 cubes with 250 sq inches of port. 51 wide 40 tall and 23.5 deep.
September 12, 200718 yr Do you have a song picked out for something like 55Hz? Edited September 12, 200718 yr by Tommythecat
September 13, 200718 yr if your freq: is 55Hz port the box rufflly 10hz down so it peeks @ 55Hz !!!if you port to 55Hz youll peek @ 65Hz and over shoot the mic's sweet spot...
