how to cram 10 pounds of shit into a 5 gallon bucket. At least that's how my builds seem to go. I always plan to make stuff easier to work on but that never happens. Getting to my rear batts takes 3-4 hours....

VERY impressive PnP socre. 57.9 looked like you metered with someone in the door opening which wouldn't be legal, unless you burped before he jumped in there, hard to tell from the vid.

Some of the DOA guys plan to attend this one...

sound pressure league.org is based out of Denver....

WOW....was going to help, but won't waste my time on this idiot. If designs are so easy, then do your own shit instead of begging on here and then disrespecting a good designer...

I'd do 6cubes net for 4 of them...

<<<You want to interlock the corner joints, and you can not do this by gluing the sheets together first>>> Funny cuz every wall I build has interlocked corners and the panels are glued up ahead of time, even the triple layered ones. Just takes some thinking.... For a normal box you can just build the outer shell and add in the internal panels afterwards. If you're worried about the corners add small 45's to hold them together

Because you "listen" to specs right, not the actual speakers....

Believe they're different then the $200 set they used to sell. Installed that one in a team mate's ride and was very happy with them. Got quite loud and had decent midbass. For a hundo I'd take a chance on them...

Hard way: install a wall, then you'll never hear it rattle Simple way: put a small piece of weatherstripping tape on top of the housing where it's hitting the window

I have the old school 3500's, not the 3500.1's unfortunately. 20cubes net is big, probably more efficient also. No way to go that big in my altima without a LOT of work and OP might have that problem also since he lists a Contour in his sig. OP I'd shoot for 17-20cubes net and you should be happy with it

Those doors should not have a problem with 2 sets of 6.5's. If the doors are sagging replace the pins/bushings. But if you already have the 5.25's then by all means use them....

I'm not responding to this ... Total bullshit post here ... No usefull information to help out the threadstarter in any way ... can't back up your bullshit statement

I think 5.25s might give you a better tone in the upper midrange area ... but not help you get any louder ... I completely disagree with this statement ... I think 5.25s might give you a better tone in the upper midrange area ... but not help you get any louder ... and just how did you come to that conclusion??? And for getting loud I think 6.5's are a waste of $$$, that's why I run 12's in my doors

I think you'll be much happier with this decision. you can always try a 4th order when you have time and do a comparison.

NP, and 1200watts clipped will kill a sub eventually. Do you have stock electrical as I run an AQ1200 in the wife's car and it will dim the lights pretty bad when I crank it up. She doesn't play it that loud though, so it's not a problem, but obviously that is enough to drop voltage and clip the signal

5.25's are a waste of time/money if you can fit another set of 6.5's...

Throw a DMM on each VC cause if you started to unwind the coil at least one side should read way off. and you don't necessarily hear clipping. How often did you get the sub stinky? I beat the crap out of my HDC's, but know when to back off... If you don't already have the v4 basket/recone then get that and you'll be happy. Louder and lower is what I've found with the subs I've reconed with the latest stuff.

Never heard a whistling sound out of my HDC's. How long have you had the sub, any chance you clipped it to death and unwound the coil?

how is that average for a none walled trunk? because a lot of times the outlaw and sealed scores are 3db apart. so your 148 becomes a 145. i would bet you wont be over a 146. and im not saying that sucks. its just more accurate. how is it more accurate??? That statement makes no sense, both scores are on a TL. because science must comply to a standard. if one subwoofer company advertised efficiency from 1 foot away instead of 1 meter, like everyone else, that would be misleading and inaccurate wouldnt it? that was even stupider then your first statement. How an org meters has nothing to do with science and there is NO standard since you have multiple orgs that meter different ways. Just quit hatin cuz the kid posted up an outlaw score. I don't meter my set up sealed since it likes to break windshields, so my score isn't scientific or accurate I guess LOL

I hope you riveted the shit out of them, otherwise his bass will shake em apart Looking very good as usual, you turn out some great work!!!

x2... we just like seeing sealed up scores ! lol some guys live in the land of USACI....

My wall for 4 15's was 17^3 net. Seemed to work out pretty well as it was very musical, did hair tricks at 29Hz and did 59.5 legal, 62+ outlaw... For 18's I prefer 6cubes net as I've done a few AQ/DD walls like that and they all kill for demo's and put up solid numbers...

XST's get VERY loud, but are huge. Have a bunch of them in my set up...
