I forgot to ask. Do you notice your coils still getting warm quickly or was that because of the wiring?

The logo idea sounds cool. There was a guy in Washington I think that did custom vinyl printing. If you can't find anyone local I'll see if i can dig it up.

They dont get warm unless I demo the shit out of it full tilt for a few minutes. But the way it is now it gets extremely loud just riding at half volume. No need to open it up unless demoing to someone. It does draw alot more voltage running at .5 ohm. I need at least 2 more big batteries I think.

  • I started thinking. I really want to almost rewire the whole truck when I run two 5500's. I will want to do 4-5 runs of 2/0 from front to back, add atleast 2-3 group 31 AGM's to rear, deaden roof, and

  • I don't know how this works I they are huge I apologize, these are straight from the iPhone

  • Thanks, all screw holes will be filled, I wanted the smooth side in. The birch is so smooth I may not resin the inside. I think it would be hard to get back to the smoothness it is now. Started workin

Thanks, curious how it will sound on double power. Gonna have some numbers next week once the meter gets here. I don't expect it to meter as high as the SPL guys but hope I hit my goals between 30-35hz range.

Your my hero now swift. I bow down to your audio talent!

So I've gotten a personal demo of said vehicle, and ummm, how do I put it? djparty.gif

After I meter to see how its doing now I am really looking to up the power. These subs laugh at 2k each. I need another amp badly. I will post another vid of my wife doing hair trick.

Nice video. Cant wait to see what it meters..

Well with no real testing just hooking up the Meter and putting in a song I felt was loud.

Results (meter on Dash pass door open, same numbers in kick too)

155.3 on music around 39hz if I remember right. song called "Burr Burr" by Gucci

Playing around with tones with low batteries.

155@44hz

154.75@39hz

153.5@35hz

152.10 @30hz

152 @29hz on a Phil Collins song "In the air tonight"

With only the single amp and with some voltage drop (deep down into low 12's)) I am very happy. With a second 5500 and another 4 batteries 57's on music may be attainable. Remember I am tuned at 31hz :)

Nice numbers so far

Hey swift that's awesome. I see your peak did go up a little bit but Damn good numbers still down low. Congrats brother I'm happy for you!

Thanks man, I am very happy so far. If you see in the first post I meet and past my goals with just this single amp.

Its stupid loud. I will post some low hz numbers vids and pics later. It may have more in it as again Im not 100% sure where the true peak is and will charge batteries overnight. I bet it has a 54@ 35hz in it

35hz.jpg

Great numbers bro! Trucks gonna fall apart with the other amp.

Just something for you to try-

When you are completely sealed up, a vehicle will peak lower.

IE-

Vehicle may peak at 39hz sealed but 46Hz with door open.

So, just for kicks, when measuring below 40hz, try with door open and with everything closed and sealed and see if any frequencies below 40hz actually get louder on the meter sealed or not.

Also, it would be wise to test which side of the vehicle you are loudest at too. Use same test tone and volume when doing so.

Just read through this whole thing.

Impressive is the only word that comes to mind

156.7......on music

Don't tell david! That's what he did on a TONE with 8 18s.

Lol,

I have video and pics I will post. Charged the batteries and played around some. All my numbers were generated from music. Didn't play any tones. Did a 151.3 @ 27hz on a slowed version of "in the air". Also did a154.7 @ 34 hz on some other song.

The 156.7 was on that song "get out" , gets it down low to 151's at 26hz
