Build it, man. I would like to see the results.
I second this!
-
^That looks fantastic!
I like the bedliner AND the stone/textured finish. Both look and work great.

Alpha Damp and Damp Pro FTW!!! Can't wait to see this stuff.

For door flex of the outer door skin, I'd use alpha damp. It only needs 25% coverage to be effective. And accessing large portions of the door can be a pain. So the effectiveness of AD at 25% coverage would be a plus. I would bet 1 20 square ft. pack would be enough to do all 4 doors.

I would think so. Just tune it clean and don't go crazy playing it for too long. After a half hour of Decaf, my 15 will get warm.

I've got 1200 daily on mine and it barely gets warm.
I'd put 2k on it clean without a second thought. Just be sure it's clean power.

Oh man, so now we have to wait for the next vid too...Meade you tease.

Make a giant skin graft of my own skin, and turn it into a leather jacket.

Looks great, kickass! You're gonna have to recoat those in about 12 months they'll fade out. I've had mine tinted with niteshades for a minute and it looks great for a while, but I'm long past due for a recoat.

Not worth anything. Just send it to me and I'll dispose of it.

Nice flex! Cool build so far.

The standard rule is 12-16sq.in. per cubic foot of box after displacement.
You need to have between 18-24sq.in. of port for a box that size.
Depending on the dimensions of your box your port can be any size that equals 18-24 square inches.

I'd say your amp is right, you're definitely clipping. They'll ship the DD-1 wherever you'll pay to ship it to.

Do the subs feel hot immediately after playing?
Do you ever smell the subs?
With box rise, you aren't running a ton of power.
Make sure the signal is clean. Get it tuned. The DD-1 is awesome.
-
Exactly! Average out the differences and treat everything like a square box.

Well looking at that, the only way you could make a decent box is to fiberglass the bottom to the contours of the floor. The dimensions in the drawing are a little confusing, but the volume I came up with was 2.9 cu.ft. before subtracting the hump and irregularities. After subtracting those irregularities, your actual available box volume is about 2.7 cu.ft. or less. It's just hard to tell judging by the photo. Once the seat is raised 4 inches you'll gain about 1.4 cu.ft. and that will bring your available gross box volume up to approximately 4.1cu.ft. which is plenty for two twelves and a port.
All that was figured out with just a basic understanding of geometry. I'm no mathematician I just understand how to apply what I've been taught. If you can figure the volume of a cube, your good to go. Just break the dimensions you have into multiple volumes, instead of trying to do all the math with one equation.
What I did was take the height X depth X width to determine the major volume. Then calculate the volume of the hump, and subtract that from the major value.
Hopefully I explained that in a way that make sense. Let me know if that didn't help.

Hey I missed that too. Good call!
-
We still have to know his real dimensions to figure if that will work or not.^
EDIT ninja edit^

I would run the 0 to the amp + and -
Use whatever 0 you have left for whatever part of the big 3 it fits best.
Then use double runs of 4 to complete the rest or the big three.
BTW I've got the same amp.

Yeah call your DMV. Then build the wall whether it's legal or not.
