I think I'm going but I just tore my old system out for a total rebuild... The new enclosure is halfway done though. I'm with Team Soundstream now so I gotta redo everything.....again lol :01nocomment8so:

Well the subs came in today so I should start building the box tomorrow or friday as long as this rain stops. I guess I'm going to just go by the specs of the subs and build a basic vented box to 14 cu. ft total with a 10 by 10 flared square vent because the specs say 2 4 inch diameter ports at 18.5 inches long per sub. Thats 25.12 square inches of port per sub so I just rounded it to 25 square inches and 4 subs equals 100 square inches. Unless someone has any suggestions on the port size, this is what I will build. It is a daily driver and I want to at least get into the 150s because I will do sound offs. The 146 I got was definitely not loud enough for me. I want more :hairtrick: :hairtrick:

Always go to Scrapin...I been going for at least 4 years. After I got my trophy this year, they said they goona open both parts of the collisium, the original one and the new part they buildin and are gonna use the parking lot they been using and the other one where spectators park....its gonna be huge Well the cop just looked at it and said nice minibar and kept asking if I had any weapons lol...not a damn think about have I been drinking. I will start buildin the new box once I get the new subs in and it stops raining over here I cant get anything done...cant wait to get a garage.

Yea I'm definitely going. I live in Arabi so its down the street from my house lol Thanks, it sounds awesome with music...really good on the lows since its a folded horn so the bass travels a good bit past my van. I dont have any vids right now but I will once I build the new box in a week. I had a leak in the back of my van and it ruined some of the box and my mixer for the turntables... :censored:

Ok, I made a design real quick...I didnt get to add the smooth edges from fiberglassing and all of the 6.5s and tweeters going on the front and back of the box but this is the basics. The black rectangle on top will be a 15" monitor. Hope yall like it. Its going to be 15 cu. ft without the port.

Alright... the new subs are coming in on Wednesday...then the new box will begin....just not sure with what design to go with

It was on a tone...Like I said, I feel like rebuilding a better box and the back of my van has a leak now so some of the mdf is swole up They have some 3/4" Birch plywood on sale for $25 so I might get it now while its that low and because incase I have a leak again it wont swell...

I added new pics to first post to help show what i have now

I know they are made for a horn type enclousure but it was worth a try. I use folded horn enclosures when I dj and i wanted a different box so I made the one I have now. The box does hit the lows extremely well but the highs are basically lost. Now where would I put the wall panel...even with the pillar for the back of the sliding door?....and would I have to put a port of some sort to allow the air to travel through? I was planing to at least fiberglass and put at least one sheet of wood and dynamat for the roof liner to help with the flex. Well if they dont get at least a 150 in the old box, the box will be history. I was planning to build a vented box with the subs up and port back anyway. I wanted to make it a nice fiberglass top with curves too, not just a plain jane cube lol.

Yep....they are fully functional. Does Crusin the coast even have a category for vans? I thought it was more for older cars.

On Saturday, I was parked by the back corner by the big Collusium sign because the show was so packed. Sunday, I was parked up front close to where the sound competition was......a little past the last concession stands. I got there early so I could get an open spot so Dropjaw could get some pics.

never been a big fan of vans but that is a sexy one for sure man Thanks...theres still alot of custom work to be done. I wasnt a fan either at first but I am a DJ and needed something to haul my gear so i got it. Soon i was DJing in arenas and had alot more equipment so I bought a uhaul. It was so worth the money. I then needed something to do with the van so I thought speakers and anything custom...n more speakers lol try new subs same box see what that does for ya I will soon as I get them in...should be in by around Wednesday.

And I know money will get better. I just bought a house last week so that comes first ya kno....then the van

With the 4 Soundstream t5 15s and those two amps, would a vented box be the best for spl? I at least want to get in the 150s and at least some hairtricks lol. As I said, anything but a wall....which would be awesome...but all that fiberglass work i did would go to waste

Well right now I just have a 250 amp alternator, optima yellowtop in front and a kinetik 2400 in back. Amp wise for subs, Im using 2 hifonics bxi2008d amps. Money is tight so thats all i can get right now.
