The "Pimpala" v2 6th order, Team Fi, DC 10k, Juicebox Lithium. 10k Is In!!!!


Recommended Posts

This build has been floating around Facebook recently so i thought i would make a re-build log to show off what work i did to EricR's "Pimpala" for my good friend Taylor.

heres the build up until the point my friend purchased it.

He recently purchased the vehicle (just the shell, no equipment) and after a week or so of bumping the 4th order with the sp4s he's owned for a while, i convinced him to trust me, and let me work some magic....que the conversion from a 4th order for 3 18s, to a 6th order for 2 18s. But not just any 18s, the mother of all holy woofers (to us)... THE TEAM Fi......weve waited for the day to be able to own and cherish these subs, and Scott at Fi hooked us the FUCK UP. Definitely will be buying new from him from now on :good:

list of equipment:

Current:

2 x 18" Team FI

1 x DD M3b at 1ohm (zero voltage drop)

1 x bank of caps

1 x 300a GP alt

3 x Soundqubed 6.5" mids (per door)

1 x some shitty 4-channel

Final:

2 x 18" Team Fi

1 x DC 10K (sitting in the garage waiting for electrical)

1 x 40ah Juicebox Lithium (getting repaired by Kevin, ETA Dec. 1)

1 x 300a GP alt

3 x Soundqubed 6.5" mids (per door)

1 x some shitty 4-channel for now

decided to build a 10" aero port, and rather than cut full circles and waste so much wood, i took what ive learned/seen from here and put it to use. I decided to cut half circles, i would have rather cut 1/3s but it would have been more difficult to get the connecting lines to match up without a router. half circles are super easy and still very space efficient. This many circles would have taken over a full sheet of birch, but i was able to do all of it in half a sheet. i know, i know, my circular saw did a number to the wood, its ok i sanded it all down.

after lots of sanding the inside to make it nice and smooth (relatively), i added a layer of bondo on the inside to really make it a smooth as possible, this was my first time working with bondo but i think i did a pretty good job. (i didnt get any pictures of it sadly)

next i made the plug so that i could mount it where the 3rd 18" sub would go, effectively creating a series tuned 6th order. here you can see the 3 layers that will mount flush within the wall, and the 4th layer is a little but wider to create a lip, there is another wider "lip" piece that is mounted on the other side of the wall to sandwich the port in the wall, its all held together on the wall by bolts. I spent a lot of time making this connection section, i really wanted it to turn out bad ass, and as efficient as possible, so i made (what i think) is a pretty damn good flare. using only my jigsaw, i cut each layer with a steeper angle, the first layer is around 10 degrees, next is 15, then 25, then 35, and finally 45 degrees. it was tough trying to figure out how to make them line up since it gets progressively wider, but i finally got over my brain fart and figured it out. the pieces that are around the base of the port are for structural integrity for the connection of port to plug

here you can see the flare, along with the bondo attempt i made

oh...she gets down....this is on an M3b at 1ohm nominal, havent checked rise, but its safe to say probably close to 1k per sub.... we're excited to see it on the 10k for sure

Man that port is fucking awesome. Great work man.

thanks man i spent a lot of time on it, i really wanted it to come out great. its safe to say im very pleased with how it came out....the only thing im not 100% on is the 3 port braces i added, they arent perfectly symmetrical since i had to do bolt cut-outs, but loud aint always pretty haha. it wont be as noticeable once it all gets stained. thanks for the kind words!
