EXOcontralto Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 For those who are just meeting me right now, My name is Jeremiah/EXOcontralto, and I absolutely love making videos, and experimenting with bass. A few months ago, Steve sent me a message after enjoying one of my videos, and nicely asked if I could make him a couple as well - So I did. ... & Because the video(s) did so well , he gifted me with an Ascendant Audio 18" Mayhem Subwoofer. That was the start..... Ever since then, my goal has been to get it POUNDIN' - I started out with--> Pioneer DEH-p2000mp DECK Clarion Eqs746 EQ - (2) 5.25" Orion CB Highs (3) 12" Orion HP12's on 1500wrms - (2) Polk 6x9 DB150 Mids (2) Alpine Amps - MRP V-power Mono Series (2) Power Acouctik PCX 5 Caps // I KNOW I KNOW - Caps are junk - MCR 200a H/O Alternator Big 3 / 0 Gauge *My Videos* http://www.youtube.com/user/EXOcontralto But, almost immediately after I got that sub from Meade - I was off to sell all my stuff . I had to get this woofer bumpin! I then I GUTTED my entire van to make way for the NEW 18" Mayhem! LOL - Yes, I have a 1992 Dogde Grand Caravan - Check Out YouTube to see how she looks. Then I/WE Started Measuring & Cutting the Pieces For The Box! ALWAYS BE SURE TO MARK WHICH IS WHICH - I.E. - Front - left side - ect. This will make it 10x's less confusing - I learn the hard way on everything it seams ;-) And if you do, make sure to glue face up lol - I did that on a couple too - W/E we live and learn - afterall, this is my first enclosure build We pressed them together, and let them sit overnight before assmebling completely the next day. This way it will be really secure, and safe to work with. Now for the Internal Corner Pieces - (45's) - I used 1/2 inch MDF for this part - That way it will take up less space, and has less effect on tuning and such - ALSO This is will add clean sound, and airflow. After this, we went ahead and started cutting the hole for the subwoofer - But as we plugged in the router, the damn thing zonked right out, and stopped working! So.... - No more router.... No jig saw either??.....Nope!...Well, What the hell were we to do? That's when I look away for one second, and my"friend" Robbie takes a Skillsaw to my box!! I was LIVID! Check out the Whole Video on My YouTube Channel - Click Below * * DAMN ROBBIE!! I was really upset at this point... - So I did the only thing I could think of... take things into my own hands.... Can anyone say Sawzall time...? Muhahaha And This Is how It Came Out!----> In retrospect, it's always safer, and better to use the right tools. But...In our situation, we had to do what we had to do - LOL - JerryRiggin' Always Ends Up Hurtin' Someone But Take a Look At This HOLE! SHE's BEAUTIFUL! With Baffle ---> When it was all said and done - It came out very well, and I didn't kill Robbie - Luckily I bet you guys were just as surprised as I was - BUT NOW - my objective is to start saving up more money for an amp! I have 300 dollars so far! BTW If you have any good connections or input, feel free to share information and send messages to my YouTube account For MORE UPDATES!

Marlo Stanfield Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 What is the port width on that box?? Looks pretty damn small for an 18, 69sq in of port isn't much for one either. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...

Meade told me to do 50 to 75 sq inches of port area - He's the one who told me what numbers to use.

Looks pretty damn small for an 18, 69sq in of port isn't much for one either. actually thats damn near perfect. i have 118 in^2 for 4 18's and it could be bigger if i had room, but it dont need to be. Hell i did 4 18's with 75 In^2 of port (6, 4" Aeroports) and it hit hard as fuck!!! All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
