July 31, 201114 yr Thats leaf spring in the rear right?If so, you can get a lift block and longer u bolts or just add another leaf. Check out eaby.I wish mine had leafs.Build is looking good. I am curious what the tuning is also.
July 31, 201114 yr Check Alcan springs they are pretty reasonable and offer a heavier duty version as well. http://www.alcanspring.com/index.htm , they can make em'. Also they aren't too bad on prices. Looked into some for my cherocar back in the day. Also semi bags and a small tank would do wonders. Power it via compressor, or put some gauges in and have an air line fitting in the cab.(that's what my buddy has done to his dually). Might want to verify load rating on that rear axle too ( just my .02). Looking good though man. Can't wait to see it done.
August 2, 201114 yr Author What's the tuning of that ported section?The ported section is tuned to 39hz.. I want the lows to be real low..
August 4, 201114 yr Author Got a chance today after the movies with the wife to work on Bubbazorus!!! Nothing to fancy, just some side panels..Front shot from the windshield..Not to bad for really being my first try on making them..Jay
August 8, 201114 yr Author Well guys, got some work done today.. Thought I would put the panels in place add some spray foam to seal it up and keep all sound forward.. I know its not to great looking, but I will make sure it wont look like that when final..Then I thought, what the hell lets make a battery box for the rear of the beast while the foam is drying..Sorry about the sun glare..With the tailgate down.Tailgate up.. Like a glove..
August 10, 201114 yr Never heard of audio force bat before weird.Its not weird at all, there are a lot of companies that sell batteries that arent to mainstream or popular with everybody. Build is looking good so far, waiting on the next move from ya.
August 16, 201114 yr Author Hey Guys!! I know its been alittle while for an update.. Was able to get a new alpine 9857 deck for $80.00.. Decided to make a small vid to see what the flex would be like.. Man tones in the 20's and 30's are wicked.. I know I have along way to go to get the other subs and lots more power, but as it is right now this thing is loud as shit.. I have sat in the back seat right in the middle with my head in front of the port to give me the feel of what my friends will feel.. I know its not as good as it should be, but after talking with Mike late week he told me this... when you add the other woofers it should pickup on the high notes good. Your reactive is high right now (really high) due to each woofer in 2 cubes sealed (that is what I usually give an 18 lol) For the time being just know that your amps are rising to prob. close to 6-8 ohms so they are making almost no power. Rise will go way down when you add the other woofers.
August 17, 201114 yr Looking like once the other subs get in you'll be inflicting some pain I'm sure the progress you've made gives you more motivation to keep going Watching eagerly bro, looks good
