  1. 2500 watts max? lol. Sounds just as extravagant as the Soundstream SPLX rating Unless you can flog them off for a profit then save the money
  2. I'm still going to do it, it will be this weekend when my cousin is down, if it is good enough I might try a dude hair trick with it. Lol
  3. Dayton and Malstorm (or Malstrom, whatever) are popular over at hometheatershack.com. Those dudes can probably help out better for home audio related stuff.
  4. Indeed it requires 50% more power. lol, and? What does that matter?
  5. I don't know how much it is, but if you can afford it, might as well get it. Just for that little bit of extra beefyness.
  6. This. I'd not recommend doing a box like that...just too risky depending on how small the cut-through is going to be compared to the normal size of the box. Yeah I agree with both of you it is risky. The cut through is going to have to be huge to compensate for the short height of the bed. I would be using every inch I can squeeze out of it leaving enough room to glass and attach to the body... Unless I can spec out a good 4th order BP in {16" X 39" X 60"} which will be tight with the 15.5 dia of the sub. I may be able to shave a bit off by removing the gasket though...and notch out a section in the top and bottom of the box. I would think that you're probably best off with a bp, the angle probably wouldn't matter really, it should be fine :-) How big is the hole you are going to cut be? I have a nice idea for how to do the box.
  7. Hmm, yes, this idea could work and look very nice if thought through well. It could be tricky to get the extra volume in the bed to not be too restricted at the cut through point. And might I say those 15"s look so beefy compared to the pics of my 18"s, I like the foam pads to stop tinsel slap too
  8. Ok cool, they are beasts! Haha. They aren't very photogenic though eh, they see to look smaller in pics. Yeah, after having so many people come on here with a brand new account and ask for advice on their big build when they don't actually have any of the equipment you have to double check eh. Ok, if you already have it then I guess it's fine, but consider swapping out for different ones. So what kinda box were you thinking of, what car?
  9. Congrats on the great sub! They are awesome aren't they? Post a pic with your username written on a bit of paper in the pic so I know you actually have one and aren't just dreamin' on here. I have 2 MT 18"s, and we just used the T&S parameters of the old BTL (non neo-mag one). If you actually have that amp, get rid of it, if you don't have it then good, don't get it. New Soundstream is shit in general, but those amps are even worse. Not to be an asshole but I'll help more if you prove you actually have one
  10. yeah, she'd probably be better off with a component set that has some nice kick. That way there wouldn't be any space taken up by a sub and the companies that make those shitty things wouldn't be supported. It would also be a better fix because it solves the problem rather than just putting a bandaid on it plus the speakers would sound better in general.
  11. please call it either a high pass filter or subsonic filter It's xplod Sorry, I just can't stand it when people use the phrase bass blocker or spell sony xplod wrong. lol. Just 2 pointless pet peeves, sorry 140 watts max Probably more like 30-50 watts RMS
  12. Nope! Im sitting right beside a stack of 4 DC XL 15's so 12's are out of the question lol I thought you said you had 2. My bad. 8 12"s? There would be more motor force (provided they were XLs) and more cone area, plus it would probably fit in, probably. Dude I just dropped close to 3K on my subs and amp! I'm not gonna use 12's in my build, I'm too far in to change it now lol Should have thought about that before buying them then shouldn't you! Or did you change cars?
  13. I've run a 3k Atomic on all stock (with 0g big 3 etc. of course) for a year with no issues, just had to run the engine when bumping, I'm sure he'd get away with one of those batts and his stock one just fine
  14. how does bracing interrupt airflow? and i'm not sure i know what threaded rod is Double post fail mate It gets in the way of internal air movement, air moves in the box too, not just the port. Pretty much the smaller your bracing device is the better, or have none at all. If the box is built well it isn't really needed unless you have something truly crazy like Hank's 48 SA10"s, that snapped one of the metal braces, but then think about the force of 24 10"s moving back and forth many times a second. It's a metal bar with a screw thread the full length of it.

  16. The bed measures 16Hx39Wx69L I have 4 DC XL 15's. I've got everybody under the sun trying to figure out how to make it work, so far nobody can figure out a 4th order for it. Obviously the subs will have to be angled inside the enclosure to make them fit. I think that is whats scaring everyone off lol. What's the mounting depth? You could do a wicked tapped horn in there maybe, thet would be somewhat epic. Otherwise yes, just angle them, even though it may affect loading quite a bit. Still should be fine. The mounting depth is 8.25 on the subs. The truck is a 2000 sonoma ext cab. With the cover on the bed of the truck the abosolute max height is 16 inches. That pretty much touches the bottom of the hard cover to the top of the box if it is 16 inches. Hmm, awkward. Ever thought of maybe doing 4 12"s instead?
  17. Um what? How could one of them sound good I think he'd be better off with the visonik ones shown further up than one of those hideous bass tubes. Hana
  18. Yes, although I still don't think you'd be able to get anything too great with such a low budget.

  20. Yep, My particular set costed around 350 dollars, but they have sets in the upper 190's and the lower 200's. Also Hybrid Audio Imagine Comps are around 200 dollars hmm, maybe the OP should look into them then. They do seem to receive a lot of praise. Just a quick off topic question, when it's raining are you real quick with getting in or out of the car? Haha. They look like polyproperlyene cones so it probably would be kinda fine, I have 2 paper coned DD w6.5s in the same place on each door, luckily I haven't run into such a situation.
  21. I really like your idea of a new car! Haha if only I had the money By the way it sounds like your sub is clipping, you might want to back your amp off a little bit and see if it makes a difference You can tell on a video, it's probably just the camera mic. distorting. To the OP, holy bejebus that is bad, try lots and lots of deadener, if that doesn't work, change your system so that the sub is sealed off into the cabin, or in a bandpass ported through the rear deck. I think though that the main question that should be asked is why do you drive around blasting it? But let's not start that argument.
  22. I have the same kind of car as you, but I put 6.5's in and cut the door panel Those are Rainbows right? I hear that they are awesome speakers, maybe could be good for the OP depending on the price?
  23. Tempting, 4 12"s in the trunk sounds a little tight on space, but I don't know the car so I couldn't say for sure. One thing is for sure though, you definitely will not need metal angle braces if the box is built right. My wall rolls with a 2" thick baffle and absolutely no bracing, no baffle flex going on there.bracing just interrupts airflow, maybe use threaded rod instead of 1x1" square dowel.
