yep 60.00 I could not pass it up...got it through Craiglist

I went ahead and picked them up... I will have to make a new box for them though.. They were in very good condition I hooked them up to my amp and they played well. When I brought them home I took one of them out of the box and inspected the bottom... Still good condition. I was thinking that this guy was not doing these subs any justice at all the were in a 1cf sealed enclosure. I will build another box and tune it that same as my other box and try it out.. if it dont sound right then I will put it in my other vehicle.

There is a guy here selling some Rockford Fosgate Punch Pro Power Series 10" Subs for $60.00 and that includes the box. I was thinking about maybe picking them up.. reason why is I have a T10001BD amp coming and I did not want to put it on 2 P2 12's alone on it it would be too much power for them, so I though I could pick these up and run 12's and 10's off of the T10001BD amp. Now these 10's are the Punch Pro Power Series and they are 4ohm dual coil subs. That would give me 2 12" Dual VC subs @ 4oms and 2 10 Dual VC Subs at 4ohm And even if I dont put them in my current build maybe I can throw them in my car This is what they look like

Surprised no one in here has mentioned the fact that the N Korean leader just had a stroke a while back so he is not thinking right... I think he will try something. It worries me because if we do go to war with N Korea there is a very good chance they will initiate the draft again, they have already talked about this.

Maybe mine was a little different, in 1997 they change the body style and mine was a 2 door. A little more expensive for a two door.

You can get the whole kit together at Advance Auto Parts for like $100.00 I had a 1997 GTP Grand Prix that had a problem with the driver side door, one of the rollers broke. I bought the kit which comes with the track and regulator both.. and what was amazing was it was more expensive to just get the track.. so I just went the cheaper route and bought both. It comes already put together so all you have to do is unbolt what you have now and slide the new one in and bolt it back up... 30min tops to complete.

As long as I can hold the Voltage from 13.6 to 14.1 do I still need to upgrade the Alt or battery or am I good. atleast until I add another amp?

That phone does take good video.. damn Nice Flex

Ok... I moved my ground on the battery from the Frame to the chassis (Shorter Run)and ran my 1/0 from Alt to Chassis and 6 ga from Alt to Battery with 80amp fuse(Temp until I get more 1/0). I went ahead and upgraded the wire from fuse box to bat with 6ga (Originally 10ga) and while I was at it I upgraded one more wire from ground on battery to headlight frame, there was one there that went to the battery to begin with it was like 12 gauge and I upgraded it to 6 gauge. With that said my dimming / Pulsating lights that I was having while driving is now completely gone. My Voltage at the battery before this upgrade was at 13.6v and when I was jamming the radio it would fluctuate 12.6 and back up to 13.6 Now it is at 14.1v and when jamming it will fluctuate from 13.6 to 14.1 So all in all.. nice little upgrade.. until I get more 1/0 Wire and another fuse to run from Alt to battery. Thanks for your help guys..

Now your ground on the firewall there .. is that a good ground point? I though when you ground to the Chassis that it meant to the frame is that correct?

One other question.. as you can see the Distribution block on the battery has a volt meter on it.. Now when I am at idle radio off it reads 13.6 When The AC is on and radio at full tilt it bounces from 13.6 to 12.6 but never lower then 12.6. My system in my sig.. what are your recommendation on possible ALT + Battery upgrades that will give me what I need for the system to be happy.

I have already grounded to Battery to Chassis with 2ga... I have not done a major investigation yet but where can you find the Ground that goes from Engine block to Chassis?

I have not done it yet because I did not want there to be a chance of messing up the fuse box.. It was strange because there is multiple wire running from Alt to fuse box. For right now this is just a factory Alt that puts out 135 amps. Now if I upgrade the Alt to a 200 or bigger will I have to add a second battery or not? Will a bigger Alt actually do damage to the battery and as far as that goes will a bigger Alt mess with the Fuse box?

Can I run a wire strait from Alternator to Battery? I ask this because the wires from my alternator go to fuse box then from fuse box to battery. Is it better to just wire from alt to Battery leaving the other wires intact? or do I have to upgrade Wire from Alt to fuse box, then Fuse Box to Battery?

Yes.. all that was calculated in even the 2 x 4 bracing.

It is in now just got the sleeve and trim ring today.. when I bought the radio it did not come with the sleeve and trim ring. I had to wait for them to arrive.. was using my Sony sleeve to keep radio in there.

Give me a good sub porn track to play and I will

One day I would like to have a system like this.. totally sweet. Now that is a custom Build

honestly I could not tell much on the video either.. but sitting in the vehicle I can tell and feel the difference. If I have the volume jacked up I can actually feel the port blowing air dont think I can do a hair trick though . But I am happy with the results.

OK.. Got the new box in and it is definitely hitting a lot lower.. actually seen my steering wheel and turn signals quiver for the first time. I cant really tell much difference in watching these videos but can really tell the difference sitting in the vehicle. Now of course some of the distortion you hear is not the speakers it is the camcorders inability to pick up the lower frequency's at high volume, it actually sound nice and clean in person. Here are the videos ZZ Top - My Heads in Mississippi with Rockford Fosgate Box ZZ Top - My Heads in Mississippi with My Custom Box JJ Fad - Super Sonic Rockford Fosgate Box / followed by my Custom Box 20hz and up The Gear Never mind the messy garage.. I have not cleaned up the mess I made yet.. was hotter then hell out today.. 90 deg, I was pouring sweat. So can you tell a difference or not? Take the poll

Good Idea... the song that was giving me problem was ZZ Top - My Heads in Mississippi Was not getting the low hz in that song. I will do a before and after on this. Will have to do it outside the vehicle and at lower volume so it does not distort.

For future reference could you enplane to me how you get the emblem on your box in your avatar? I tried putting my name on this box I made by cutting it out with 1/2" cardboard and gluing it to the box before I carpeted it. Did not turn out so hot... If you were a blind man you could feel it but just hard to see.

Yea.. today is the day to test it out. Had a fan on on it last night blowing into the box with the other speaker hole closed with cardboard. Good air circulation really blowing out of the port hole..should be dried out and ready to go. I put a light in there to for a little heat. need to get some wire terminals today and a little more speaker wire.

Well since I was unhappy with my pre built Rockford Fosgate box I decided to build a hopefully better one. I finally got it done, tried to take my time and do it right. There were some setbacks and a couple of re cuts to make it more square and tight fitting in the corners. I used plenty of wood glue and added a 2 x 4 for extra support between the subwoofers to keep it nice and firm with little flex. When it was all complete I also went over all the seams of the tube with liquid Nails. I used 3/4" MDF with 1 1/2" screws. And also finished up the carpeting of the box tonight... Took me about 12 hours to do this. (been a long time since I built box) Here are some pictures of the box... I will take better pictures tomorrow, I did not realize the cameras setting was set to low quality. Left Side of Box As it will sit in vehicle Full Side View port side Another Full View 2 x 4 bracing between Subs Top Down View Here is a view of the port inside Another 2x4 Brace pic Another 2x4 Brace pic Inside looking out Here are the specs Hopefully this will perform better then the custom one that fosgate makes. It said total volume was 4.29 but I figured the 2 x 4 brace in to the build that is not part of the original build so I guess it would drop it back to at least 4.2 which gives me 2.1cu ft per sub tuned at 32.76hz.

One last question.. before I start to build Rockford Fosgate Site has a recommended ported enclosure of 1.79 Rec. Vented Enclosure 1.79 cu. ft. (50.69 liters) If I make the enclosure 2.0cu.ft. Per sub will it have an adverse effect on the subs since it is not within specs.. or would 2.0 be alright. Or is it still all in the tuning?
