  1. A ported box will be great, also, shop around for some deals, all that for $7000 is a bit dodgy. I know how expensive stuff gets when you live down here (NZ), but I managed to find my amps second hand at give away prices (3Kw mono Atomic $900, 80w 2chan Atomic $100) both are amazing prices for super great amps (internally the same a Sundown). So I suggest having a look around on Australian car audio forums and find some cool bassheads nearby that will help you find deals.

    I can design a ported box for you if you want.

  2. First time using Sketchup, What do you think?

    1 1/2" MDF

    Height: 23" With Double baffle and flush mount

    Depth: 26"

    Width: 47"

    Port Height: 9"

    Port Width: 18"

    Port Depth: 6" (I'm not sure how deep to make it for 30Hz, Help?)

    A bit big, ~8 cubes would be better. You have ~11.

    And port has too much area. With a port like that it is impossible to tune it to 30hz (and 6"s makes it 48hz)

    Fix those to things and you will be good.

  3. Adding a battery wouldn't solve an overdrawing problem because batteries don't generate more power, silly. :D

    So, my switch to my amps ...one of the wires was loose..stupid solder. And my grounds were getting a bit loose somehow, but I fixed and played music for about 5 minutes and no problem. I'll know by tomorrow if that was the problem.

    Appreciate the help gentlemen. =]

    edit: the amps weren't going into protect, just turning off and turning back on shortly, which is why i think the remote wire switch was the problem.

    ^ :orly3:

    You can't be serious, it doesn't have to make power, just supply it.

    Why else does everyone add more batteries?

  4. I seen it, But I want to do a box like Steve's so I have a place for 4 battery's. I could fold my back seats forward so they sit Vertical that would get me a little more space. I don't really ever have people that ride in my back seat but its nice to have it if I need it lol.

    Don't fold your seats forward, it will be super uncomfortable if anyone has to sit there.

    Building around the wheel wells will be a pain, but it will give you more space. Where will the amp be going?

  5. I got

    height: 20

    width: 37.5 (that would probably fit a battery on each side of the box or both on one side)

    depth: 22

    port height: 4

    port width: 15

    port length: 25

    Thats tuned to 31.4hz using 1.5" thick wood. which is probably minimum for 2 XL 15"s. It's really pushing it on port area and box volume for those woofers though.

    Might be able to come up with something better if I spent some time on it though.

  6. Does a coil fry gradually? Or just in a second

    Depends, have a look on youtube at videos of people blowing subs, some last for 5 minutes, some blow instantly. I depends on amount of overpowering and amount of clipping. I can give x subwoofer 200RMS more, and it will be fine, but if it is even slightly clipped, it will blow after a minute. But if I also give x subwoofer 400RMS more, even if it's clean, it will still blow after a minute. But give x subwoofer rated wattage, but clipped and it may blow over a week of use.

    Make sense?

  7. 15 is the outer dimensions so the top screw and the bottom screw would be going into the top and bottom piece of the box. the overhang where the screws go in to hold the sub is 3/4 inch. it could go to 16 but no bigger cause it would not fit in the trunk max wide 2feet max deep 3feet any time because ill probable be matting the trunk tomorrow instead of building the box so whenever and thank for all the help i really appreciate it

    Ok, 15" it shall be, as long as you are sure it will fit the sub. Tonight it is then.
