Posted October 9, 200816 yr Hey all, wanted to say thanks for anyone who's helped me out in the past few months. I sold my Xplods and ordered 2 Fi Q 15's moments ago. I'm going to be building a 7cuft ported box tuned to 32Hz and I'm ordering the wiring and amplifier within the next few weeks. So excited I can hardly stand it Meanwhile I am bassless but I think it is worth the wait! Edited October 9, 200816 yr by CadillacMatt
October 10, 200816 yr Author Going to order an AQ2200D next payday (two weeks!) so in the meantime I'm going to run some 0/1 wire, build the box, do the Big 3, and straighten up my existing wiring in the car. Two MORE weeks after that I'm going to get a HO alternator.
October 10, 200816 yr sounds solid, im going to be in the same boat re running wire and possible h/o alt
October 10, 200816 yr Author sounds solid, im going to be in the same boat re running wire and possible h/o altIf you've ever heard of Mechman altys I've heard they're pretty solid, you can find him on CA.com. They will find an alternator for you and if they don't have it they will build it! I'm eyeballing a 250amp
October 10, 200816 yr ye it is sold out, im guessin by the time you get the money together theyll be back in stock, but if not itll be worth waiting for trust me
October 10, 200816 yr how's the prices for them though?a little steeper than some, but you get what you pay for
October 10, 200816 yr alright, well when you get it on and everything after about a month let me know if you run into any problems with it
October 10, 200816 yr Author Thanks for the positive feedback guys, and I will definitely let you all know how it goes.Oh, and I got the box built today! Many thanks to Chris at Fisher Customs for the SketchUp, I stayed a little late at work today so I could get this bad boy done... 7cuft @ 32Hz, went through 2 sheets of 3/4" MDF and three drill batteries . What do you think?All cut downThe frameworkStarting to look like a boxDouble baffles in placeAll caulked upWhew... finished!!Hey, I see a resemblance
October 10, 200816 yr Author looks immaculate i wish i had a table saw available for meComes in great handy, now if I could only learn to cut a better circle with a jigsaw . We didn't have a circle jig for the router Oh and to ECROMEANS - You can get a 25% discount on Mechman alts if you post a build log up. I'm definitely looking into that Edited October 10, 200816 yr by CadillacMatt

I'm definitely looking into that i used a wood router to cut out my circle, may take forever, especially since i had to cut out for the 18" btl but im pleased with how it came out.ahhh that sounds nifty, do they have a site? havent really heard much of them since everyone goes ea, ohiogen and iraggi.
