started on my new box. for my DC XL 15. will be on a crescendo 2k, 2100@1ohm.

box is 4 cubes @ 33hz. will be grey with blue port

pics of sub


false floor

sketchup of box

 

still need to do the second baffle, sand edges and paint.

 

looking good. your truck 2 or 4 door?

 

Looking good man. I cant wait to see vids. I love watching other ppl do systems in ford rangers. :)

 

thanks. its a 2 door

thanks, i like it to.

i will be one of the loudest on this site, but u will still be louder than me.

 

Im not loud tho. :)

 

ur doing like 120 right? lol sundown makes good stuff:)

 

second baffle on, paint starting.

 

Aren't you suppose to tune the box above the fs of the sub? you will run out of excursion tuned lower.

 

never heard that before and the fs is 35 so its not a huge diff. but i wanted it a lil higher for numbers, otherwise it would have been at 30hz

 

the fs is the frequency that the subs cone resonates at. tuning too low can cause the cone to be uncontrolled basically ripping the vc from the cone. tuning slightly above fs will give the cone some air to compress to keep it in control.

 

but the little difference that it is tuned at wont hurt the sub

 

in the truck


might do one more coat

 

Looks pretty good. One of these days I'll stop being a pvssy and get a 15" and a big box.

 

Looking good. Hows it sound?

 

the crescendo amps wont be out till around the middle of the month:( but i still need to get a batt

 

Oo ok. That sux. Im looking forward to vids tho whenever its playing.

 

me too, my goal is 140-145

 

Thats a reachable goal.

 

the crescendo does 2100@1ohm and 2650 IIRC @ .5ohms. but my sub is a D2 so it will be at 1ohm

 

well with my new amp :) sundown saz200 at 1 ohm i did a 142 flat on music and and 145.2 at a 44 hertz burp and that was at like 13.5 volts haha

 

I did a 143.8 at 38hz with 4 sa 8s in a 2 cube box with a sundown 1500 at .5 ohm :)

 

nice work but for your next project predrill and countersink your screws i can see in a couple pics your mdf splitting that could also be due to too large of a screw

 

x2 i saw that too, if your gonna have that much power going into a sub you can't have a box like that. i know i went overboard for my 10''.

i'd love to have a box that big but i need to have some room in the back of my truck.

 

He put the scew too close to the end of the piece. Thats why it split. I try to come off the end about 3 inches to keep from splitting it.
