Posted July 1, 200718 yr i been wantin to make a thread like this so fk it i am lol....i started w/ this system ~10 months ago.. big difference between now and then. 1st was an splx15" and ss pca1000d:136.8dbstill the same clarion deck..added EQ w/ 7v outgot a bigger box maybe 3cubesadded a 4" aero.. this box and 4" port was the lowest hitting out of all the ones ive tried so far. 138.9dbpicked up a used 9515 and also swapped the pca1000 for the pca1500dthe splx was a loud sub.. the dd sounds alot nicer thoughsealed off the 4" hole on the front, added a side firing 6" flared port..141.8dbmost recent mid/high amp, if you look at the pics i've been through 3 or 4 already..this ones lasted a while though, i also had some pioneer 4x6 but they had to go, i cut the doors for 6.5 and have memphis coaxials for now.found this already built at the local shop, its bout 5 cubes @ 45hznice ass/bracing shotf'n messthen most recent got a saz1500d and got rid of all the blocks and cleaned it up143dbi dont think it'll ever be done, though.
July 1, 200718 yr ty.. you too!I am jealous of the sheer amount of equipment you have gone through in 10 months. Granted I have quite an inventory of woofers at this point, but many of them have never gotten to play with me since I learned more about car audio.I am always building new boxes, and working on my fabrication installation skills.
July 1, 200718 yr Author it started out to be modest but i did a few local comps and started chasing numbers. i'd like to try a few subs out though especially a mag 15 or an RE xxx
July 2, 200718 yr i dont think the xxx is cool looking enough!!!! loljk, but not really.k but anyways, wow. nice.in 10 months ive only gone through lets see... 5 amps. 7 subs, 9 as of current. and 1 deck like you hahaha.the dd looks killer though. nice work.
July 2, 200718 yr I see you went from aero port to sealed then to slot port and now ?????mind disclosing why the changes in enclosure design ?and what did you finally settle on and why ?Thanks jep...I just like seeking other peoples experiences in all aspects of car audio....
July 2, 200718 yr Author the 1st box was way too small, the second bigger pre-fab box started falling apart and the current was a good deal, built well by the shop owner, lightly used and what i was looking for in the first place.. big box big port
July 26, 200718 yr Author abandoned strip malls FTWcell phone vids FTL but the real video camera is in Indiana right now.i had the box tuned lower and im gonna face it to the rear soon, i want it loud on music.. more fun than numbers (cheaper) i sold the clarion and picked up a premier deh-p690ubmaybe a saz-3000d in the future? depends on pending sale of the 1500 Edited July 26, 200718 yr by jep
August 7, 200718 yr Author RF t20001bd on the (lay-a) way should be installed and metered in a week or so, hopefully i get that 145 i've been shooting foralso sold the clarion and EQ and got a premier 690ub Edited August 7, 200718 yr by jep
August 7, 200718 yr Author Oh and i did have the box tuned lower/ port extended.. it get the lows nice now (even though i havent heard it in a week)
August 7, 200718 yr Author i only paid 350 for it.. the basket/motor shows its age, but whats hidden inside the box.. ..stays hidden inside the box lol
August 19, 200718 yr Author ok its been more than a week but heres some random pics, i took the sub/box out and faced it back towards the rear, im done trying to get more numbers i wanna get low and flex chit, more fun to me i guess.. i pick up the sub amp in the morning and should have everything buttoned up hopefully. i also picked up a 2GB flash drive and ran it off the pioneer USB input and tucked it away in the dash it holds like 380 songs and for some reason sounds better than a CD in most casesbox pics:no more 12ga. speaker cable.. got some kicker 8ga.i hope i get a decent gain with this rockford, its got tough shoes to fill after that sundown.

February 20, 201312 yr Author Long time no see, SSA! Ive been out of the game since 08 when i sold off all my stuff.. Then i was browsing craigslist a cpl weeks ago and saw my old DD for sale, same exact one, 5 years later. Turns out the seller was fn awesome and cut me a crazy deal so im going to slowly get back in it. Cool part is i drive a 2dr explorer now instead of that lame malibu. 150s here i come..
February 20, 201312 yr Author here she is,back home again. this sub bas been around and is still stiff as new. same kicker wire, same damage to the surround. i about flopped out when i saw it on craigslist.
February 20, 201312 yr Author the only things i have done so far is a pioneer h/u, deadened my doors, MDF baffles for 6.5" DLS coax. i have an old jensen 10 awaiting a 4 channel to run highs/sub until i can get this DD going again. i'll probably order components 1st though, im looking at the AQ or whatever their new name is 6.5's
February 20, 201312 yr what size wire is that?I got the same basket for an MT recone thought they looked kind of small, so i was going to drill it out.
