    Tacoma theres no real secrets to what I do. I've been testing on this car for over 3yrs to find what works. The hardest part for me is trying something new. LOL Iwent back to this box for the 3x DBDrag on Sept 20th to try and recapture some of the success I had with it. I really want to try a center firing port but was to chicken to do it this round. Definately over the winter will try it.

  2. From the guy with a DC port http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif

    This is definately my all time favorite 10" setup. Those woofers do some work. 150+ out of a trunk in itself is a challenge, let alone with two 10s. I don't know if it counts having a magnet bigger than the woofer cutout though. :D I think you watched the red and green show too much growing up is all, thats probably where your ductape addiction came from. How long til the stetsom?

    I did it with the AQ's first so I def. say it counts :clapping:

    And Red is my hero! :)

  3. You must believe in purpose only, because those boxes are UGLY as sin. Nothing pretty bout your setup. Subs were pretty but they already look old. Can't wait to see the new amp and LVL 5s together, maybe a little less ducttape too. :rolleyes:

    For some it's not all about being pretty. This set up gets rebuilt on a regular until I find the right combo and then It'll start to get prettier.

    Besides show me someone else that can pull a 151.5 @ 39hz with a pr. of 10's in a trunk :spiteful:

    As far as the duct tape. It helps hold surrounds,seal around boxes, and seal for testing. It will always be present. LOL

    The box on the bottom was the first I ever built and has been outside in the snow,rain etc...

  4. anyone know why the surround is folding when he is beating hard. or is that just the camera playing tricks?

    Very little soft part wieght compared to motor force coupled with the ability to not bottom out equals crazy excursion in BOTH Directions. On any other speaker you would have heard the former bottom out before the surround crinkles.

    Believe it or not the lvl 5 10 is extremely sensitive to music.

  5. Hey Thorshammer one thing I have wondered is how exactly you mount those LVL5 10's on the baffle, I know the easiest way would be to invert mount them, but how exactly did you mount them with the motor in the box?

    Cut your baffle for the box and split it in half. First time I did it i tried a full front baffle and tried mounting them in together with the box in the trunk.

    Pic in my sig shows them before mounting them this way. It sucked so I tried individual split baffles and that worked out really well.

  6. To answer questions.... The sound that sounds like its rattling thats the former danceing at the end of the pole piece. It is impossible to bottom the DC out without haveing something give out i.e. spiders tear from the former.

    Duct tape is to help seal some areas around the sub and to help hold the surround down when it breaks loose. Also works well as a make shift seal to seal off the trunk.

    I'll see what I can do about a ruler. LMAO!!
