January 15, 201312 yr I've always wanted to do a super budget build like this. Interested to see the results
January 15, 201312 yr Author Thanks guys! Tracking states everything will be here by Friday with the last of it being the amp, subs, and fatmat arriving on Friday.
January 16, 201312 yr Author Neither can I. If it is anything like the APSM (which I'm sure it is) I should be just as impressed though. Loved the APSM I had.
January 16, 201312 yr Nice build man im tuned in to see what you think about low end extension on these! My friend and i are going to build a box for Usaci port wars and throw an american bass 750.1 on em'.
January 16, 201312 yr Are the subs the same as audiopipe subs. I might get some 10s for my dads boat.

January 16, 201312 yr If it was my boat I definitely would but it's my dad's and he isn't into the whole big setups. Plus we don't have much room with all the storage compartments filled. We have a small area in tho back left corner that could have the size of 2 10s. We have 2 alpine E 10s in 2 separate shitty boxes. He bought it like that for $40. The subs are not in the best condition.
January 17, 201312 yr I've got a 15" Xcon ported under the console in my ski boat. Just took some clever cutting
January 17, 201312 yr I've got a 15" Xcon ported under the console in my ski boat. Just took some clever cutting You got pics? I'd like to see that! I mean he likes the bass and he thinks the 2 10 Es sounded pretty good, but too me ehh no lol. I was just thinking something like vvme's would be good since they're cheap and not really going to be pushed hard at all. I think this in a custom box would do very well for him and be good enough for me.

It's protected by an alarm, but obviously no steel/glass so details aren't going on the web. Wouldn't matter anyways as all you'd see is a flat wall of the box right where your feet go to. Basically I gutted the space under the helm and built a box to fit in the nook and crannies. It is slightly smaller than recommended, but barely. Woofer fires at the side of the hull as this buys you both stealth and a little natural bass boost. Makes nice waves too.
January 17, 201312 yr Ohh gotcha. The boat is in storage for winter. When we get it back home I'll look at allbthe compartments and see what I could do. If nothin I'll jus stick with a pair of 10s. Thanks m5.
January 17, 201312 yr OP, why did you order gaskets from fixmyspeakers ? Aren't those subs new ?What benefits are you waiting for ?Just curious
January 18, 201312 yr OP, why did you order gaskets from fixmyspeakers ? Aren't those subs new ?What benefits are you waiting for ?Just curious Nothing really, as you can tell the subs dont come with a standard gasket so im sure thats the reasoning for them.

January 18, 201312 yr Author Got some goodies on the doorstep...Got to keep some Audiopipe in the ride.And my PSI sub gaskets.
January 18, 201312 yr Author Decal I had BHE-Matt make up for me. 4"x15.6" for the back window. Dude does great work!

My friend and i are going to build a box for Usaci port wars and throw an american bass 750.1 on em'.Thanks. Definitely keep me posted on that. I have heard these don't like the lows to much. Hopin the bigger box and lower tuning will compensate for that. I will let you know for sure.
January 19, 201312 yr Author Doors are done. Sound pretty damn good for a total of $150 invested including deadener, amp, mids, and tweets. Amp is still on 0 gain from the Skar component set. Gonna do some more tuning tomorrow.Pics.
January 19, 201312 yr Author Took a couple of vids but didn't realize my new phone was set to TV quality not full HD :banghead3:. So the quality isn't as good as it should be. Will get a vid later in HD.
January 19, 201312 yr Author Subs and amp!Looks soooo much better with the gasket on there, glad I ordered them.
January 20, 201312 yr Author All loaded up and ready to go for in the morning.This will probably be how I eventually mount the amp. RCA's aren't long enough now.
