Im running a Crunch Powerzone(the black ones) 1500.1 and have been super pleased with the performance and i picked mine up for 75bux. http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/ has them for 129 new, along with the audiopipe mentioned above.

I was in the same boat you are a few months back, after 4 differen boxes, this worked the best by leaps and bounds. Subs forward, port up in the middle. 2 12in Fubars

Ok cool, I just didnt want to waste my time and his putting something together less than what he already has. Well on with a design i guess, im gonna go with the in the middle specs and do 3cubs @35hz.

I have someone who is interested in having an enclosure made for his 1 Audiobahn 15. I DL'd the manula for the woofer and it seems to me it should be a beast but i havent even heard of Audiobahn before since i have been outa CA for over 10 yrs(explains all the Q's huh) so before i go and waste 2-3days on a box is thing gonna wang with roughly 2500w..his amp is 2600x1@1ohm. Procoustics or something like that..Not Power Acoustik for sure, never heard of it either. Specs 2000w RMS 4000w MAX 2ohm DVC Model # AW1508T Fs 28.4 Hz Qts 0.32 Qes 0.36 Qms 2.95 Vas (Liters) 88 Liters Vas (Cu. Ft.) 3.1 Cu.Ft.

Ya it makes the Forum look i dunno..Official! Vs. the plain old grey..You guys deff. know how to run a killer forum, now it looks just as good as it its ran!

My background was always just plain grey, now its got The Hoe'. Maybe IE just didnt show me before those updates last night..Sorry if its not new

Just wanted to say i dig the new Forum Skin, and Topic Buttons as well...SMD RULES FTW!

I use 3m Super 90 Laminate Cement.. Just be careful on lighter color fabrics, Ive never had it bleed on vinyl or leather tho. On plastic use a good wax/grease remover( ie rubbing alcohol) to clean it first. Give the cement a chance to stick to the plastic rather than your greasy finger prints/dirt. On MDF thats been in the dust alot, i use a regular cheapo tack cloth from Autozone for $.99 before i spray the Contact Cement. Hope this Helps

Well if thats the case, mount the amps in a Juke Box looking fixture in the center, Subs on each side in ported boxes with a 19in moniter in the floor to watch Grease on...

So thanks for all the help first.. Second, im going to have a few weeks as of right now to work on this build since i Blew a Sub yesterday. So can someone do me the favor of Double checking my math on this. Im gonna be 75-100$ down on budget now with the sub issue so i cant afford to do this more than once.

That build is the reason Im doing this..LMFAO! I was counting minutes for it to dry so youd post more pics..hahahaha

Nice tutorial... I would have never thought of doing the Mutiple strip at the correct width of each cut. Nice close ups.. Thank you It looks as if I might be able to pull this off.. Does drilling holes in the cuts help that much more for strength. Ill prolly use resin instead of glue to fill with. It makes sense, air out resin in, and each one of those holes adds to the bondable face area...

My Sierra is 62 3/8 from cab panel to cab panel with the seat brackets removed. Its damn near 80 threw the pocket to the sheetmetal.. So from your example its gonna add 10in to the total length and 10in to each side of the port as far as area??? Thanks for the sketch BTW!

Ok, So after much thought and debate, i just cant see walling my truck with only 4 woofers, so i have a basic retangle box at 20x62x20 in mind and i really want to try a Kerf'd box for this build. My questions: How do i figure the port area when both ends Flare out?the port needs to be 18.5x8x10 to get my 37hz tuning, but if im figuring this the way i think its done, the acual port length that isnt kerfed would only be 3.25inches long How do i measure for the kerfs to Get different radius'? I need to make a 90* within 3-4ins, is that way to tight of a bend for the MDF? Sorry for so many questions, if this was sheet metal i d have no problems...hahahaha Ill redraw the box to clean up all my "oops" lines and scan it in for you guys to see what im talking about. its subs forward/port up BTW.

THe Ones on the left are Memphis MClass 6.5s Carbon Fiber Cone, Swivel mount tweeter. Comes with a HP/LP crossover for each Speaker as well.

What 4 12s walled did you get to hear? any vid links? Think my 1500.1 will push 6 of em? thats only 1500 between 6 so whats that give em each..225-250 tops?

Doesnt really matter now, the box didnt fit the way i wanted, i am actually re workng the front of the box. the original plan left the subs slapping the platic trim at the rear most of the trunk. I totally didnt see that pesky trunk spring hanging down a good inch into the box so it couldnt go back far enough.. Oh well, gives me more time to play with power tools..lmao

Got 4 18s to donate?? Ill be more than happy to wall them..lmao

To be honest, im not a PA fan either.. I got the first 3 in a big mess up, but the 2 i have did a 142 on an acient ass Linear mic so i dont know if thats a good number compared to the TL #s or not.

2 to 1 so far.. and man i gotta gansta lean towards a wall myself, but lets see what the people of SMD vote...

94 GMC Sierra XC 4 Power Acoustik Fubar 12w's So should i wall it off or am i going to get just as much out of it with a good below the window designed enclosure.

It in Inches.. Exosprt is the one who made it, it DL-able from his thread. Good luck and get us some pics!

http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=43861 At the bottom is My Door Pod build, I hope there are some pics in there to help you visually.. I attached mine from the back, threw the plastic into the pod back-plate with Wood Screws/Glue. I didnt happen to get a non-blurred pic so there is no reference but i did run a piece of the 3M double sided bumper trim tape around the edges where it will contact the plastic. I didnt peel it yet cuzz i gotta take em off to trim out obviously but thatll help "stick" it some as well.

I forgot to mention, I only Checked on kickers site and counted for Sub displacment.. according to the max reccomended port enclosure...(blah blah) you have .65ft^3 to add in bracing, and that should put you at your wanted 38hz tuning.. or damn close to it.
