I am so excited! (and nervous) Here is a good shot I took of my brother holding it. He has the fever now! I can't wait to get it in there tomorrow and see how she does...

Got a little something today. Well, it's not exactly little... This is the firs bass knob I have ever had that goes counter-clockwise. Pretty cool, but I'll have to get used to it Yeah it's on now! More to come...

Damn, so I probably want to try to wire @3 ohms then, cause I don't think my subs will like 3K very much... Thanks man, and those are some nice numbers! I can't wait to get some bail-outs, like you did in the Durango! Probably be a min before I can do that though... what subs do you have and how many? also that 3k is being put out at me wired at .7 ohm if you wire at 3 ohm your going to still get box rise and maybe only get 800-1000 watts out of that amp. 3 12" L5's - (600rms each) in a 7.5^3ft box tuned @33hz. My only other option is to wire down to 1.34, what do you think about that? Too much, or just right after rise? I know, shitty subs for such a good amp. But this is just till I get my 18's Thanks again man I really appreciate the help!

Hell yeah baby!

I may be wrong, but it looked like you had the subwoofer turned off on the HU? Probably has nothing to do w it, but if I turn mine off, it won't pick up the signal.. Hope this helps, or you figure it all out!

Thanks guys for all your help! Guess what is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery"?

Lol That is the perfect answer! I think I'll try 3ohms first, then if that ain't good enough, I will wire down. Thanks for the laugh!

Cool, so should I wire my subs up to 3(before rise) or leave them wired @1.34? I get my amp tomorrow, is the reason I ask. They are 3 12" L5's rated @600rms each. And electric is so so right now, got a MLA and a 200 amp alt, but kinda low on the batts, w only 2 Kinetics (But I'll watch it VERY CLOSLY!) And just in case anyone is wondering, this amp was bought to run 2 18" DC XL's, but I won't own them for a min. So... Thanks again guys!

I was just wondering if anyone knows about what kind of power a DC 5K will do @3 ohm? I figured about 1500 - 2K, that sound about right? Thanks

That's what she said... Mine should be here tomorrow

Man I listen to a lot of rock and rap, IMO just build a box tuned @35 and you will be fine. Does your amp have a bass knob? If so, that is all you need. When I play rock all I gotta do is adjust the bass knob and I'm good to go! Hope that helps, good luck!

Yes, this X2! If you have problems figuring something out with the Torres calculator, someone will help you. And that will still be considered your design. And he is right, it feels so good to come up w a design yourself, then build it, then see and hear the results. Now is the best time to learn, and like I say, if you need it, we will help!

2 more days according to FedEx. I can't freakin wait!

Hell yeah, and just in time too! Can't wait to see that sexy ass 5K in my car!

Yes I do! But I'd keep it similar in style to what you designed. It's a good one

Oh yeah!

Pics? Edit: Damn ninja

Same here, I never pay any attention till Feb. anyway!

Wrong, the loan value of a salvage auto is 80%, meaning it does have some resale value, just not the same as a clear title. You would be surprised how many cars out there are salvage title. A lot of times, it may be minimal damage, but the insurance totals it out cause it cost more to fix than what they consider it to be worth.

Port area per foot may be a lil low... I thought a 15 likes around 16"^2 per cu foot, but then again, who am I? Otherwise looks nice! Should get down @31.5hz tuning

Very nice! I love that radial arm saw, and table saw beside it! And your skills w them are very good! It's obvious that you know exactly what you are doing, great work! One question, how do you figure airspace when using cuts like the last ones you did, the angle by the port that are not 45"s? I can't wait to be able to make cuts like that.
