Ok so I recently picked up 20sq feet of reg Damplifier from Wheel Class(only place in Ontario) to get rid of the aweful rattles in the trunk of my car.
Here are some pics
Let me tell this stuff works awesome, my lid now rattles very minimally, I have a before and after video of tapping certain spots.
I would have included a before and after for when the bass hit, but I blew my subs half way through the install so... enjoy
Let me tell you, being 6'1" and 220lbs, it was so hard maneuvering in there haha
-
Anyone have experience with the amp at 1ohm? thanks in advance for any help
-
in your video you said the amp was turned up to 3/4 and bass boost was at 6 of 12.....
Lets try to set the amp the proper way with the tutorial.
I set the amp up so the woofer wouldn't bottom out, with the gain at 3/4 and the bass boost at 12of12 it was bottoming out, I turned bass boost to 6of12 and it stopped.
-
heres a little vid I wipped together
-
wtf happend to the sub?! lol
haha its definitely a fixed up woofer. The original surround "ripped" so I put the surround from my alpine type S that I blew before.
-
heres an update, went ahead and made a vented enclosure with the MDF I had left
some specs on the enclosure are 1.3sq ft and tuned to 35Hz, this thing moves air
here it is in the back seat (not permanent place)
a new video will be updated within the hour
-
I am unsure what to do, I only have a 4ft x 4ft slab of MDF left. I can either make a ported box with that or wait 2 weeks for my next pay check to go get another slab at RONA.
-
I think it's a huge load of port noise, does the sound get's quieter if you turn it down at like volume 10?
It has the same "rattle" but not as violent
how big is the sealed box and how big is the ported ? i'll try and help you out there too
I believe it was 0.9cu.ft sealed and 0.6cu.ft ported
I took the port out and I think the sound is coming from the woofer itself or something else inside, I don't think its the port anymore
-
one thing i remember from your other thread was your sealed part was to big
and the ported is tuned to 30 hz which means your probibably tuned low low low
re tune the port closer to 60 hz and you'll notice a difference
edit
after watching video that sounds like shit you need work on enclosure more before you blow another sub
ok thanks for the info, i will take out the port today and cut it down a few inches, its a 9inch PVC pipe, ya i know ghetto
-
Sounds like the subs bottoming out.
Its not, it sounds the same with the gian at 1/2. I think its my port but I'm not 100% sure
And if someone knows how to embed the video that would be great. I cant get it to work
-
Dude...you posted this months ago?
I know it got deleted and now I need help with a problem
-
And heres the next victim...
And now heres the finished product with a little problem...
-
I made a 4th order bandpass a few months ago, and ended up blowing the sub an hour after its maiden voyage...
Here's the build from the beginning
-
So... whats the problem? Jk, what are you going to do with the basket and motor now? I'll bet forevrbumpn can hook you up with a recone for that.
lol ya maybe a recone, or might buy a type r or somthin to pull the full 500 rms out of my amp
-
Well I would be putting a vid up of it right now... but... something kinda happened about an hour into its maiden voyage...
I thought type s were suppose to handle 300W rms, BUT I GUESS NOT!
-
Its done, heres some pics...
will make a vid tomo when everything should be dry...
-
ya the jacket on the wire is massive, its bigger than my 4 gauge power wire. I will be taking the jacket off for the wires inside the box
-
OK just siliconed the inside, and got some new sub wire...
I used to have Alpine 14gauge, now have Monster Cable xtreme sub wire, looks like 10gauge. Picked up 5meters on sale for $10, i think it was a good buy, even though its a cheaper level sub
will have it done tonight, hopefully test it out friday...
-
Did some work today...
Just gotta silicone the edges, mount the speaker terminal and port in the last 12.75 x 21.5 inch piece tomorrow, it should be alive friday...
-
WTF is this? Canadians don't have power tools! Don't you guys have igloos and stuff? There's no electricity up there.
LOL jk man. Looks good! Also looks like someone knows their shit. Posted his equipment and box specs right up front. Even put the cut sheet details! Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Ya I've been around and seen the comments on other ppl's builds, I usually see "MORE PICS!" or "VIDS NOW!" lol so I know I had to post some stuff
I only live an hour from Buffalo, were not that uncivilized till you get to the northern provinces, where its negative temperature 24/7/365 lol
-
I personally like the build. It's something small but looks like it'll get the job done. Don't consider your car ugly. From my experience with my Aztek, I've came to realize that cars can't be "ugly", but only "intensely unique".
its a lot bigger than the old bassoworx box i sold. It was ported to 42Hz i believe, I heard a friends 12 at 35Hz and I liked the lows a lot so I'm making this. My car hates the lows, my sunroof unsealed itself when I had his 12 in. Thank god it was snowing and not raining

Got the wood cut
thats it for now, will put the pieces together tomo
-

oh and if Ant sees this, can he tell me how much it is in Canadian dollars? if he knows anyway...
