Pretty epic thread considering the reason for the master box builders ban,

dude it says it right above the pre order prices... $219

try again after the SS, Only reason its gonna sound better facing up is because those 8s you took out is giving it some breathing room to fire into the cabin

x2

My lvl 3 12s were in a 4 cf enclosure that was 2.9 after port and sub displacement tuned to 36 hz. Sounded great was doing mid 40s sealed up off only a Memphis mc1000d which is1100x1

12s ported without a doubt 4 cf net with about 60 sq inches of port area if you have the room.. n tune @35

how would it dude? We still dont know what car he has... But if its a monte, then it looks like hes set huh even tho your really cramping those subs in there

thats what I was thinking... One of the Coffin trunks you could fit a dead horse in But yea, OP.. Kinda need details here.

what the hell car are you driving that has a big enough trunk for 2 15s ported without suffocating the subs in there and having a fold down seat?

Nice man, Something weird i did find out.. When we did testing we used the same sub and amp from a master vehicle and put in in 3 different grand ams, just running speaker wire for the testing and shutting the trunk.. Numbers .. Mine ( 96 Grand am GT 2 door ) 142.1 friends ( 2001 GT 2 door ) 142.6 Show participant ( 2003 SE 4 door )139.8 Intervals were about 10 minutes apart.. But for some reason the 4 door was down quite a bit But its nice to see the GAs on here, looks nice btw

Also does that port seem a bit small for the dimensions I had for that box? I was getting some port noise w my lvl 3s

Fo sho

Nice !! What are you running this weekend?? Well at least the grand prixs have room, and so to the newer 99+ grand ams , but my 96 GA has a tiny ass trunk, and i dunno if I should try smething different or not.. Ive always had 12s, probably beause it was the best combo for cone area with the limited room I have.. And the car is only a commuter car/ Beat box So I dont wanna dump a ton of $$ into this one.. which Is why I was checking out 10s and maybe even a single 15 with alot of power.. I wanted to have a daily setup with at least 2K rms .. I already miss my lvl 3s and not having beat is boring as chit, especially when im in my car 8-10 hrs a day

WEll I sold my lvl 3s and I THOUGHT I had them NET @ 4.06 after displacement , but for some weird reason that was not the case It was 4.06 Gross, .87 for port displacement ( 3x13.5x23 ) and .30 for the subs.. So I was only at about 2.9 CF net They still sounded great and I put up my best #s ever with that box ( 145.4 legal , 146.8 driver door open off an Alpine MRp-M2000 ) Also along with the net of the box only being 2.9 CF for 2 12s, I was getting port noise because I didnt have enough port either ( probably should have gone 4" wide ) Which brings me to my question.. If I actually make the optimum enclosure plus more port, this box will be WELL over 5 CF .. It was nearly impossible to get this one in there, so its gonna be tough to go any bigger than MAYBE 4.3 cf GROSS .. So Should I go with 12s again and completely fill the trunk again, or go with 10s and make the optimum size enclosure for them.. Because Im guessing 2 lvl 4 10s would only need about 3 cf MAX, then the port and sub displacement would make it about 4 , Basically what the box I had my 12s in was.. Suggestions?

He means 2 inches on the inside or the outside of the 45 degree cut I think

Wait til you get a real Amp on it. You ain't heard nothin yet. Tested one of my lvl 3 12 on a jl 1000/1 in a. 1.5 cf enclosure tuned to 36 hz. Sounded awesome hit hard got much lower than I was expecting and took the power like a champ. Any idea what amp your gonna go with?

So what's the amperage ofthe stock alt in these cars? I thought it was 105 ? I would get the big amp you first mentioned but I'm not sure if I wanna dump $700 into this one. So what's the difference between the 150 adjustable you mentioned and the one for 449. Besides the amperage obviously

Why not firing back?? I have a 96 Grand am gt , 2 lvl 3 12s and a memphis 1000d, did a legal 145.4 .. No deadner or electrical.. THey dont do to great firing into the cabin.. My buddy had the same issue w his 2001 gt

Gotcha man, TY.. Im trying to decide If Im gonna do a full blown setup in this car or not.. If NOT, Would the stock electrical, one run of 1/0 run back and a 3100 be fine for a true 3K rms?

Well as we know there are TONS of vids on the board, with Steve and alot of the staff having Huge hits on Youtube, Its almost hard to find the best of the best in the mix of everything.. So I guess this thread is for the must see vids.. Broken Windshields, 160+ db, Insane flex, The best hairtricks, etc etc .. I dont know if there is a thread like this, but if there is, please link me to it .. Thanks

Ive used a few Frestool products.. Good , Hell yea.. Practical? lol not for me I have a 6 yr old Makita, and 2 yr old Craftsman circ saws with the thick shoe, and use them both on the job everyday , and they both work great, But I can still understand your fanboyism for frestool.. They make awesome stuff

great list man, thank you! Questions.. The spiral bit seems like it would chew up on the wood on the flush baffle, unless the Jasper jig holds it perfectly in line? And what sizes should I go with for these, unless the ones you linked are the diameter, and depth sizes I would want

Dayum.. How about you just make me a list of the best 5-10 bits I will need if you get some free time lol A kit would be nice, then I can add a few to it, if I need some more

Just checking out Woodcraft now.. Little overwhelming considering theres 100s of bits. Are there general sets with the most commonly used, I cant find them.. Yet.. Another thing, when Tracing existing holes, Im gonna want a flush bit with a bearing, But like you said , to make notches for the carpet, obviously the bearing cant be on there, so what bit will I need to dig down that extra 1/8".. I see a bunch of flush bits with blades on the bottom of it, but without a bearing, doesnt it dog into the wood?

Ahhh i gotcha man, sorry I mis read i think.. I thought you were talking about the width more than the depth to tuck the carpet in .. So how do you like your bits? Just as good as the Freuds and bosches Im assuming? I need a list of all bits you would have , need or want.. I wanna get something ordered up this week. Thanks again to you and everyone who posted
