2 6.5s will be louder than one obv. what about sundown X 6.5s? only needs .25-.33 cu ft per sub

I have a brand new CT sounds strato 12 v2 800rms dual 2 ohm I'd send for $150 shipped obo

Hey man, kinda just checking in. Any progress on the build? How's life? you hanging in there?

lol that's a hell of an autocorrect right there!

@aburger Spectrum i got in trouble for tagging myself, so now I tagged you

Better warranty than Singer's lifetime one? weird... I'd still go Singer. I've had a few of his alternators now and for less than common vehicles. Each time he's bought back the old, used alts and given me a few hundred as credit towards the next one. Plus his customer service is top of the game.

lol my pleasure, happy to help motivate

nice work! always nice to have that revelation and it works!

when using a DD1 on a 4 channel amp you want to hook the positive lead to the positive of channel 1 and the negative to the negative terminal of channel 2, effectively bridging the 2 channels to the DD1, that way you won't have a disparity between them, itll allow you to set them both equally to your max clean volume. as far as the other equipment you're running (maestro, dsr1) I don't have any experience with those, hopefully someone who does can chime in

i've found when setting at the amp it makes it easier to put the DD1 leads in the speaker outputs and actually tighten the output terminals down to hold the leads in place. just my $0.02 that frees up your hands to adjust gain and volume on the HU without losing your output

try reversing the wires on one side of the box, Hook positive to positive and negative to negative on one side of the box, and positive to negative and negative to positive on the other side of the box. many times with a bandpass enclosure of this sort it will increase output by putting the woofers in a push-pull configuration. also be aware that the amplifier you are using is a home theater amplifier and is sending a full range signal to your woofer, not a properly crossed over bass only signal. for best results try to find a subwoofer amplifier (search for a plate style home theater subwoofer amplifier) to get the best out of your subs. also also, this enclosure is not going to be the best choice for a home theater setup, but if it makes you happy, have fun with it

for mine (which is on a back hatch door, so that made it easier) I drilled directly behind the plate so the wires were completely hidden, then sealed the hole with seam sealer. I know it's more difficult on a bumper, but still possible to put a hole dead center of the plate then bring the wires up through a factory grommet in the trunk if one exists. just an idea and dont forget to clean behind those tail lights
