Depends on a lot of things but I never like to gamble especially with something as expensive as car audio. When using $3000+ amps you don't skimp on anything at all. Just do it right the first time and you'll never run into problems later

Ok, if you're not already a member, check out the link in my sig and sign up to those forums and you can ask there. There should be heaps of places to get your car metered. Either that or you can drive all the way to Perth to use mine
lolI hope I'm not violating any of this site's rules by posting that link, if I am can I mod tell me and I'll remove it..

Small Box - High Power
Large Box - Low Power
But I wouldn't do anything less than 5 cubes minimum or you're just defeating the purpose of having 18s.

It will still work and it MAY not cause any damage but it's a good practice to get in the habit of making good quality earths. Worst case scenario you can get some seriously bad voltage drop causing your amp to blow.

ok thanks guys, appreciate it
Hey mate where abouts in Australia are you? Your best bet is to make friends with somebody with a Termlab so you don't have to pay a shop to use one. You make more money a week than I do by the way.

I forgot to add my friend's Suzuki Van. 4cyl 797cc, yes thats 0.7L! It weighed 700KG before the system. We put four 15s and like 9 sheets of of 18mm MDF in that baby. Weighing at over 600KG!
Before the wall, top speed: 115km/h
After the wall, top speed: 115km/h, although it did take twice as long to get there.
You really noticed the difference on steep hills where it just literally died and would only crawl up at walking pace hehe. We did drive it three hours each way to a comp on the other side of the state, full throttle the whole way! Car never missed a beat until it flipped over! But even after then it still drove!

I had a wall in my 4cyl Volvo 240 Station wagon. It was slow at accelerating but would still do highway speeds no problem. The transmission died but I think that was from old age not the extra weight.
Not to mention the whole ass end sagged like an old woman which made the steering RATHER light!

It's a little hard to understand what you're describing, plus it's 5AM. Could you draw us up a diagram with dimensions of the box and port?

I use this Selleys Durabond glue. I think it's a brand that's only sold in Australia. It's really messy but sticks like shit to a blanket.

I have this DeWalt jigsaw.
I hate it for something that costs as much as it does I find it really over rated like most DeWalt products. Next time I'll buy Makita to match the rest of my tools.

Here's the clamshell a friend and I made. Only one amp burp 153.5dB @ 34Hz or Bassrace 151 without trying.

Love the miniture Caddy, awesome touch
Good work -
Yoot = ute = utility = pickup truck in your books
An example of a ute.

It's just like carpetting a sub box. I'm the best in my family at wrapping gifts lol.

So over Christmas! It's boiling hot right here in Perth, Australia and I'm bored as hell. We've got nests of snakes everywhere we've seen tonnes in the past three days. We're starting to build a pile of dead snake carcasses on the front lawn to fend off any more snakes. It's the ones you don't catch which are the scariest. I went to do some work on a box in the workshop and there was a snake hiding next to it so I can't even enjoy myself without fear of being killed by a deadly snake.
Oh yeah and it's good to catch up with some of your family around this time I guess..
-
Here's the wall I did in my Volvo but never finished. Got 153.6dB @ 45Hz out of it on it's third ever burp. Only 4000w on tap too. Then I decided not to use this car anymore. The subs looked purty
If you're going to build a wall, make sure you build it STRONG. The baffle was six layers thick. -
What do you want? Meter loud or daily loud?
Port driver's side works good for comps because you remove or tilt the seat out of the way so it's not obstructed. It reacts best with the meter on the windscreen I know from experience my Volvo was loud as FUCK when you sat on the passenger side, but on the driver's side it was quiet as hell. I see this as a bad idea for daily because the port gets blocked when you're driving with the seat in so not really good. For daily the port anywhere where it's unobstructed works well for daily, but be careful where you put it, it might meter terribly if you put it in the wrong spot.

Wow that song sounds like it wangs hard! Me likey
-
the square subs = more cone area = louder, BUT also...the square subs arent as linear, so the sound gets a little more distorted than round subs. if i read that info right. i used to have an 18" solo x. it was more of a hassle than anything. it was beefy and cool at first, but you wont have fun taking it in and out of the box. plus i hear they have some internal problems. so i'd pick the L7 or the BTL imo
Having that extra 20% cone area does little when you have a sub with only like 12mm XMAX. The W7 runs rings around the L7 as far as usable throw goes.

Clamshell with a port always
The clamshell we did was tuned to 25Hz nothing like retardedly low bass! -
My weird family to leave me alone. Oh and maybe those two T40001s I want

Can be any colour you like as long as it's equal or larger size than your power cable, my earths are blue
. Also make the earth as short as possible. How long is it?
