  3. Haven't made a box in years... how much?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by kingsuv

    you guys are expensive id buy the 3/4 mdf and all supplys and make it a little bigger than that box and tune it a little lower and charge 70 to 100 depending on how much bigger she wants it but if she wants same size even after you tell her the benefits of building it a little bigger and tune little lower id charge her 70

    this is all my personal opinion :pardon:

    Not really that expensive.

    30- 40 a sheet depending on the supply right now. 2 yards of carpet 8-20 depending on the quality of carpet and color. Terminal cup, little bit of wire connectors, glue, screws and labor which is time spent getting materials, building the box and cleaning up afterwards.

    100- 150 isn't too out of line for a quality box of this size.

    I have a very nice scope. It got a good amount of use when I was workin on amps. Now about the only thing I use it for is to set gains and to clamp amps. I would say just get the DD-1

    He's got my vote.

    Not too often do we see someone who is new to competing go at it full speed their first year. It's nice to see their love for the hobby and the passion to keep trying new things to get louder. Yea, I did build his box, but he came in with a wealth of knowledge in car audio that made it very easy for us to work together. besides, he also came to me with an already bangin system. Blowin those DD's is what hooked him to compete. Most people would of walked away at such an expensive try. He is far from a knob turner. I'm glad we met, and he is a hell of a friend. I am honored to have been the one to build his box.

    Real name: Bill Johnson

    Organization in which you are or will be competing in: db Drag, Bassrace, USACi, MECA SPL & SQL Plus any other backyard format that will hold an event.

    Comp vehicle: 2003 Ford F-250 / 2000 Ford Excursion

    Current setup: 250- 2 DC LVL 5 18's, 4 DAT 2500.1, 6 XS Power 2700's / EX- subs 16 - 12's tba, 8 DAT 2500.1, 10 XS Power 3100's 240sf damp pro. 10 sheets LLP

    Why you should be part of the team: 10 years competing in various organizations. 3 Trips to world finals. When I am not helping other competitors build 150db Daily driver systems, I am slowly rebuilding the 2 of mine. The time I have spent in this hobby has taught me that winning isn't nearly as fun as it is helping others achieve their goals. Helping someone grow into a serious competitor is a far greater value for the sport as a whole. I also understand the value in promoting a product in a professional manner at all times. That every time you are at a shop hosting a show, you have an obligation to talk to those shop owners and show them the products you represent. Being a part of a manufacture team means that you are a representative of them, You are the companies field expert. Any business you conduct, needs to be in the best interest of the people you represent. I hope my build logs, photos, and videos not only showcase what I can do but also inspire others to build bigger and better system.

    Ah nice!

    I remember that thread... been a while since you posted. :lol:

    Yeah, project has been on funding hold for a while now.

    Sounds like its coming out about the same time I'll need another 200sf ;)

    Is this for personal use or are you trafficking? :D

    Bill, nice thread. How much deadener did you use? Im needing to do my whole civic and was wondering how many layers you needed to use? Or should I do just one full layer of alpha tiles? :clapping:

    Hey jon, question for you. I have a decent amount of SS used, but I want as deadened as I can get as well as blocking out as much external noise as I can. What kind of 'layering' do I need. I've seen your post on how much you have in your truck from DIYMA, but was curious what you suggest. Between the damp pro/alpha tiles, then just LL pro? Or do I also need overkill? Educate meh! PM me if you have to. :popcorn:

    I started with 240sf of damp pro. I have some pretty open runs of un supported metal so I wanted to make sure I was able to control body flex. 2 layers in each door. Inner and then outer skin. single layer over the top of another product on the floor and then a layer throughout the roof with a second layer between frame supports. It is a noticeable difference in noise reduction and from rattles. I have no system in the truck so I have plenty of time to listen to road noise.

    Where I really noticed a reduction in road noise is when I added the LLP to the floor. each type of product offers a benefit in reduction to different kinds of noise. So a combo of a few different products in the right areas are key.

    When money is right I will finish off the Damp pro in the rear and get the Overkill pro for all the panels.

    Look for the Skil Mag 77's one of the better saws out there and have pretty much been the same for years. Look for them at pawn shops.

    I recently bought a newer craftsman and it had blade walk like no other. Needless to say, It quickly went back

    Padilla’s

    5 Vegas

    Gurkha's

    Man O war's

    Nub's

    Puros Indios

    Acid

    Diesel

    All are in rotation in my collection. However a good sampler pack is a great way to get started on the wrappers you like the best.

    I like a more mild smoke when out in the garage working or out golfing. Maybe a nice Maduro after dinner and with some Jack. Lately I have be after the larger rings 50+ for my every day smoke. They last longer and have less tendency to go out when you set them down for more then a few min. The nubs are a great quick smoke when the mood is right

    Well I guess you can look at it like this.

    Was said stereo truck ever at a finals, or was it ever a world record holder? That might offer some value to it.

    Another thing to consider is, who's been working on said stereo truck? Does it have potential or is it a gut and redo cause corners were cut.

    It sure would suck to pay for something just to take a sawzall and sledge to it

    I'm diggin the keypad door lock. :D awsome job. Just started enjoying cigars, what do yu recomend?

    If yer just getting going, then I recommend places like CI. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/ Prices are pretty good, and some of the specials they run are killer.

    Start with their sampler packs. Save the wrappers you like and narrow down your selection as you go.

    Personally I'm not a fan of the Cubans. I think the ones coming out of the Dominican Republic are a way better smoke
