This is going in a full size Chevy pickup. Nothing big just a little something to listen to. Sub is going in 1 cub sealed and the MLI are going in the front doors. We will be adding tweeters in time. Currently these are the only pieces I have. 1 AA Arsenal 12 and 2 MIL 6.5's. Enjoy the pics.

I think I got it.

A little something I noticed on the sub for slap protection. A piece of felt on the cone.

Did some box building, hooked the 12 up running at 8 ohms mono for now on some propower 350 watts rms. Sounds pretty impressive in a 1 cub sealed enclosure. Has anybody had any experience with these subs?

i have an arsenal myself. ran it both sealed and ported... i like the new dusk cap... im alittle jealous...

currently it see power from a kenwood excelon amp rated at 600rms

if u have any questions feel free to ask.

What enclosure did you like better? The guy I built the box for wanted to go sealed. After hearing it in the truck, I am going to try and talk him into going ported and see what he likes better. He listens to a lot of Country music.

you loose alittle sq ported but if he's only listening to country he would probably enjoy sealed more.

the only country i listen to is alittle johnny cash... actually i listened to afew song this morning. i had the sub turned down (just to blend it in) and my front stage was doing all the work.

i listen to alot of different music so ported suits me pretty well. this weekend i might play around with afew thing and throw the sealed box back in for a change of pace.

if you feel like trying out ported i went with 2.2 net tuned to ~30 hz and it works very nice.

heres a link to my build log. the 3rd page has some pics of the box and front stage. page 2 has some pics of deadening. id tell your friend, since he listens to mostly country, to get some solid mid bass upfront.

edit: just remembered the mli's so no problem with the midbass haha. im debated the mli's or carbon mids (or something else) to replace my pg components.

The MLI's are currently running off of his HU until he saves enough money to buy another amp. The sub easily over powers the front end. If he wants to try ported I will go 2.2 @30hz. Thanks for the information and your build looks pretty good.

I think the new dust cap is something that Scott is making with his new toy, he is very innovative.

i really need to clean up my build haha but its functional

good luck with that box, i actually made 2 ported boxes, the first was alittle wimpy on port area, it worked but i decided to go back and make the 2nd somewhere around 36 in^2. i saw one guy recommending 12 in^2 per cube while other where saying 15...

im still really interested in getting the guy from PTS to design me up one of his hybrid horn boxes if i can make it fit

or make a 3rd ported box with a huge ass port

That would be awesome!!

haha ya i just need to get my amp rack like half an inch closer to the rear deck and i'll be good to go.thats if i have time after making these (link) this weekend...

That is not a bad idea for tweeter pods. Good luck and post the pictures.

Nice equipment.

Thanks, Daren likes it very much. The problem now is his wife wants it in her suv. So keep an eye for more MLI orders in the next couple of months.
