September 13, 201312 yr Author Just got my door speakers.. These will be going in all four doors to keep the stock look. I would have to modify to put tweeters in so I just went with co-axil.

September 14, 201312 yr Author Installing the door speakers.. Removing the Infinity Kappas then putting in the new Kenwood speakers. Also recieved some Knu Koncepts 10 gauge wiring for the Sundown X-12s, they come in on Tuesday.
September 16, 201311 yr Author I put my SPL port in the box yesterday and hit a 141.7 @ 45Hz sealed on the dash on the TL. It's only .4 dbs higher than my last set-up. It sounds way louder than my other system with my other ports so as I go to more comps I will put the other ports in.
September 16, 201311 yr Good shit man. A gain is a gain I bet when you get your x's it will be much louder
September 17, 201311 yr Author Just got my Sundown Audio X-12s. Here is the install. I had to put the amp back on the seats because of the vibrations the lows were causing and the mounting holes where just right, I literally had to push the subs to get them into the holes. I just have to clean the car on the inside again. I'll take another picture after I deep clean everything. BTW the Xs smash the SAs on the lows. X is the best sub I have ever heard. I was so impressed because the only thing I changed was the subs. Box and amp are the same and its a huge difference! Moves more air too!
September 20, 201311 yr Author The xs have great sq. they are very loud on the low end. Ground pounders for sure. I am really thinking of sealing off my trunk again but not too sure. It was a little peaky sealed off.
September 20, 201311 yr Oh was it?? I bet with the 20hz port your subs get mean as hell. Do these subs affect the tuning of the box??
September 20, 201311 yr I would try inverting those and see how it sounds and looks man probly sexy as hell

September 20, 201311 yr Author I would try inverting those and see how it sounds and looks man probly sexy as hell Don't want to invert them nor do I have the space in the trunk to do so. They have a mounting depth of close to 10" lol. They are monsters!

Are you coming to the show in October? They have another USaudio show after that one but it will be on Sunday, 8 Dec. It's going to be a Toys for Tots show.

September 26, 201311 yr Author Should be sealing my trunk off tomorrow again to see if it will make a difference. It is getting louder and louder each day because of the "break in." These are awesome subwoofers. I have the 28Hz port in and they dominate everything from around the mid 20s to about 38-40Hz. I haven't sat in too many rear firing trunk set-ups but I def think mine is the loudest I have heard, if not, then def close to the loudest I have ever heard out of a rear firing trunk. These subs def have me impressed and are def in the ground pounding category. I was amazed on how different it was just switching from the SAs to the Xs with the same box and amp. Anyways, enough of my chatting, I should have some pictures up on here soon.
September 30, 201311 yr I was going to say PICS and also I can't wait for the show this month to see your numbers
October 1, 201311 yr Author Decided to seal my trunk off again and it sounds a lot better this time. Used some thick cardboard, some gorilla tape and deadener. Here are the pics.. Putting the tape on with the port removed. Back of the box in the trunk.. Putting the rear deck back on. Everything finished up. From the back.. Terminal wiring.. Amp.. Not the prettiest install but it's def louder now.
October 1, 201311 yr Those subs man, Your making me hella jealous with those x'sDamn this auto correct Edited October 1, 201311 yr by dragon123443
October 1, 201311 yr Author My doors flex a lot when i played music in the low 20s but the car holds up pretty well.
