April 20, 201213 yr Author So I have been testing which way sounds the best. Currenty sub firing up is loud as hell. It sounds like there is a gorilla trying to break out pf the back and that is only 1 18 playing at 2ohms.
April 21, 201213 yr Author So after dealing with a noise issue and finding out it was the head unit I said screw it and bought a new one. I have been looking but did not really want to buy one. Well I had $100 to use at best buy so I bought a avh-p3400bh, guess we will see if it is noisy.
April 21, 201213 yr So today I cut my box in halfI did that to my wives.Never seen that before though, nice temp solution
April 21, 201213 yr Author So today I cut my box in halfI did that to my wives.Never seen that before though, nice temp solution Not a solution, but a way to play around to see which way the subs will sound best. Half of that big bitch of a box is easier to carry even with the sub in it, Edited April 21, 201213 yr by nem
April 21, 201213 yr Author Damn pioneer! Did you try grounding the rca's?Yes I did and rca ground loop filters and power supply filter. On the plus side I recheck everything I did for fun. Put the clarion back in and it was like magic. Guess I will see if this new unit interduces noise today.
April 22, 201213 yr Author Alright so after the noise ordeal, glad it is gone, I installed the new head unit. I am very pleased with this thing.Fair amount of processing and crossover selections. Now to decide which way to face the subs and get busy on the box.
April 22, 201213 yr Sharp looking h/u.You can use the single sub enclosure you have now to experiment with subwoofer placement.If you do not have room for two 18"s I would recone to 15"s. More bang for the buck.

More bang for the buck.Thanks.I have been turning the box to see which way sounds the best. I can get both 18's in and may have to use a little polyfill. I can tell you this one 18 feels like you are being punched and I can only imagine what two will feel like. Edited April 22, 201213 yr by nem

April 24, 201213 yr Author Alright I have been thinking about my box and I want to be able to remove it when needed. There are going to be times when I need cargo space.More to come...
April 24, 201213 yr Admin Alright I have been thinking about my box and I want to be able to remove it when needed. There are going to be times when I need cargo space.More to come...Floor of restrained ball bearings.
April 25, 201213 yr Author Sorry guys no updates today as I was busy cleaning two tanks and carring drywall in the haunt. I hope to cut some wood tomorrow and start building the new box.
April 26, 201213 yr Author Alright I was playing a little bit and turned the sub foward, up, and back and it seemed to sound the same. I had two other guys listening with me to make sure I heard what they heard.I guess we will see what it sounds like with the second sub added.
April 27, 201213 yr Author Alright here we go again! Box is built and tomorrow I will cut the sub holes and carpet it. Enjoy.
