  1. Hey guys, I hit up the Carlisle All Truck Nationals with the Trailvoy.com community, I was lucky enough to meet Chode and also get a demo of the Durangho. Even though Chode was having some issues with his amp he still gave me a demo, all I can say is WOW!!

    Also, I got to use the TL to see what my little T2 was hitting and I am very proud to say that I hit a 140db on music, windows up, mic on the window and peaking at 38hz.

    On the way back to Canada I ended up getting caught up in a bizarre hail storm with hail the size of quarters, luckily no damage done to the Trailblazer, but I was crying through the whole storm just thinking of what I was going to see once I got home. Unfortunately 4 Trailblazer from our group received some severe damage to the hood and roof, hopefully the insurance will cover.

    Thanks Chode,

    Shawn

  2. Ummm :fool: , or 4 15's, if you don't wall it off then you will have about 20 cu.ft.. The SS is very nice, very fast and very slick but a bit heavy on gas, that truck will make you want to push the throttle every time.

  3. I have been studying enclosure building for some time now and found this from the JL website many years ago, it still stands true,

    "THE JUMBO TEST

    Imagine, if you will, a rather bitter mid-sized African elephant named Jumbo (how original) that has been taking steroids and lifting religiously for the past 10 years. Jumbo's ex-girlfriend left him for a box (don't ask--because we don't know) and so every time Jumbo sees a box, he does his best to obliterate it.

    After building your enclosure, you should be able to place your box in front of Jumbo and let him tap dance on it all day long knowing that when Jumbo finally gives up (he never does) your enclosure will emerge unscathed. It sounds a bit extreme, but it's true: strength is key!"

    Now if 1" MDF is too expensive where you are, look into doubling up with 3/4" MDF. I just cover one sheet with wood glue and screw down the other sheet on top of it. I also clamp all around the board to make sure it is together 100%.

  4. So you can see why I am confused. My last install I placed the subwoofer where the green is and I didn't notice any problems, the only reason I am looking into this is because I want to know for sure as I have never placed it where the blue is. I don't want this enclosure to be the ginnie pig of experiments, I want it to be the final enclosure........till I get bored again.

    I suppose I should have done a poll on what one to choose.
