June 5, 201411 yr Author Time for update. Stopped by the shop today. Snagged a few pictures. In no particular order.
June 5, 201411 yr Author Be careful with those amps they are current hogs for sure. Goal is to play in the 12-13v range. Reach would explain the 10 batts lol. I'm hoping this will suffice for now until later upgrades.
June 5, 201411 yr Looking good man. Why did you decide to go with a 4th band pass box I was always under the impression that it wasn't ideal for SUV? Your build is looking right on point for your goal good luck.

I'd like to have a week in SXM soon. I'll let you know, Alain !
June 5, 201411 yr I don't think that's the reason. I have 8 15s in a scion xb flat wall and he's got an explorer.. But his build will be done before mine. I'm just coasting.
June 5, 201411 yr I see those bright RCAs Yep, seen that too. I will be glad when I can get everything measured out to order mine.

June 6, 201411 yr Author Looking good man. Why did you decide to go with a 4th band pass box I was always under the impression that it wasn't ideal for SUV? Your build is looking right on point for your goal good luck. Mostly because of their extended bandwith response. Also, I've seen these designs to work really well in person. From people such as Scott Bowman, 162.x dbs, to Jason Myers, 160.x dbs. And they are doing this well relatively small subwoofer count. It fits my general style. Of doing the most work with the least equipment. And that is what I plan to do with this build. The reason why it may not be best for most SUVs. Is again, space. It all comes down to space. If you're not able to do at least an 3:1 ratio, I wouldn't bother with such design. This box here is almost 50cubes gross. The original flat wall design was only I think, 18cubes net? So I wanted to utilize all the space I had available.
June 6, 201411 yr Author 50 cubes wow pictures doesn't do this beast any justice. lol. You have to see it in person.

So I wanted to utilize all the space I had available. You said the main reason I'd use a 4th band design in an SUV. The absolute biggest reason I'd use one is to transfer the most sound possible from a trunk to inside a car. I don't have a trunk so no worries there though so I'm good lol.

June 6, 201411 yr I will say that DreDay's Magnum sounds killer and puts up good numbers. His 4 18's is a 1:2 ratio. His sealed section is 20cu and his ported section is 10cu and it plays really flat and good. So I think its all trial and era and vehicle specific
June 6, 201411 yr Yep.. Trial and Era? Sounds like a time in history, there was once an epic install, heh.
June 7, 201411 yr As someone mentioned further up I would seperate each fuse, instead of one large fuse block, Because if one wire shorts its doubtful that all of those fuses would blow quickly enough to prevent any damage. If you used all 300 amp fuses, 1200amps could cause some pretty instant damage.
