this... although it is damn near impossible to completely seal it off, it does make a huge difference.... and no, firing forward isnt just about spl... its about getting loud and sounding good doing it, without the annoying trunk rattle... Do what it takes to seal it off, if not dont waste your time ,just leave the subs facing rear .Its kinda like building a box out of 3/8 plywood ,why waste the wood,and why waste the time .Any job worth doing,is worth doing well.

Why dont you wire the sub to 1/2 ohm and see what it does.

Are you serious? If so you know nothing about car audio .

Question for ya .When you sent it back to the shop did they use the same head unit as you did ? probably not right .The reason i ask is i had the same problem with a pioneer deck and a memphis amp .If i switched out the head unit to a different brand like kenwood,or alpine ,the amp would work fine .Or if i used the pioneer head with a different amp like you did, everything worked fine .But the 2 together would give me problems .I talked to memphis and they said they never heard of this .So i took another pioneer deck,same model, and another memphis amp same model and installed it in a different car ,and had the same problem .About 5 months later i talked to a memphis rep and he said he had heard of this but didnt know why.

make the port on the side of the box aiming towards the pass side .

Well it sounds like you have the electrical to back up the sd5k .I would do 2 12in lvl4xl's. And ask Rob(thors)for some box measurements .Question for ya,how do you like the sd5k ,I had one and I thought it lacked quality for sound.

What is DAT?

PPI use to be very good back in the day .But then DEI bought them out along with Orion ,and they seemed to go down hill .Why dont you look into the new DC Audio amps ,or Audioque amps ,or Sundown Audio.I think you will be happier with one of these choices . i love it recommend an amp that isnt even on the market yet without any mention of what he is looking for. Fanboys up ! Sorry to be a fan of well made products with excellent customer service .And i am sure those companies i mentioned will have something that he is looking for ,unless he is looking for cheap junk.

I left a message for nathan this morning ,and he called me back this afternoon .Ordered my 8 D1600 batteries ,But they were on back order.He said they should be back in stock in Febuary .So mean while i will continue to build my enclosure .

I like these 2 , minus the eq on the one,and the volume knob on the bottom of the other.

What if i were to use the 270 amp alt . with the 16volt es unit only.How would i go about charging my main 12volt battery(this will be a power cell also) and powering my trucks 12volt needs ? And would this bolt on directly where the factory one is ? Also I have seen some type of mods or step downs that can take the volts down to 12 from 16 ,not sure how they work or are wired though .do you have that avalibale? If so how much ? and how many do i need ? i can add an extra 16v power cell under the hood if needed ,i have lots of room .I have fuse links coming off my starter if you need to know that .this is my 1st 16v system ,thats why all the questions .My friend Rob Wolcott ( from Team North East Spl ,and DC Audio ) told me that i should buy from you ,he has tried a bunch of different alts.for his grand prix and said yours worked the best by far .So i am def. gonna go with you .i just dont wanna buy something and then later wished i went a different route.So any info / diagrams you can give me would be great . I will be looking at buying what i need within a month or so .Do you have this alt. in stock ? Or do you have to build it? Same with the step downs (if needed). What is the lead time either way . You can contact me at my e-mail ,which is [email protected] . Thanks for your time. Keith Mutka - Team 808
