i would be interested in hearing your thoughts on a level 4 12 and subtle...
lol. I was referring to exterior modifications.
-
Thanks, guys. A lot of work went into the car to get it where I want it. I wanted every modification to be subtle. Almost like it could've come from the factory like that.
-
Looks good! I've made seared tuna a few times. I enjoy cooking Italian food more though. Made an awesome lasagna for the gf and I tonight. Had a 2007 castle rock napa valley Cabernet Sauvignon with it. Decent pairing I thought.
-
I'd give the cash back and ask for a new tablet. Replacement should be his responsibility.
-
And because I'm kind of a pic whore, a couple pics of the car it's installed in:

Nice box.
Can you tell us how it sounds. How do you like it ?
And what did you have before to compare ?
This is the first box for this particular sub for me, so all I can do is give impressions of it without any other comparison. This is also my first go around with aeroports. Dunno if I like them yet, as they do have some port noise. Though you can only hear it when standing back by it with the trunk open, so no real biggie I guess. I keep wondering if I should've went with a standard slot port. Anyways, I absolutely love it. Response is nice, tone is great. I will say the thing is LOUD though. At least, compared to my previous setup:
Directed SX12D4 (in a prefab box) on about 650 watts (old amp was a Kenwood 9104D)
So, this was a considerable upgrade for me. I wouldn't feel right giving an educated opinion on it, only because it's my first and only experience with a driver of this caliber. I can only say that my ears like it, and I guess that what matters
-
Looks real good man. I dont know why but I really like the way that birch looks plain with the aero and sub installed. But thats me.
I didn't like seeing the ends of the plywood. Plus, I did use quite a few screws, so there was a lot of fill too.
-
Looks good, Congrats
Thank you, sir. Both for the compliment, and making quality equipment!
-
Thanks, gents. You have a great point about paint scraping off when I take an impact drill to them. I was only thinking of getting the most exact color match.
FreekDesignz- I hate to admit it, but my mids/highs are some eclipse sp5700's I bought on clearance at my local shop. Well, actually the gf bought them for me for valentines day a couple years ago. I want to upgrade them soon, and (I know, this part is terrible) finally buy an amp for the mids/highs.
My head unit is an old kenwood excelon ddx7015. I want to get a new hu sometime soon too, but want to stay with the brand because I bought the kna g510 nav for it too, and want to reuse it.
Pic of hu I installed in my car:
And I did relocate the front tweeters to higher in the door panel. Though after doing some research, I wish I would've mounted them near where the dash meets the windshield, and facing straight up:

I guess that could work! I'm pretty particular about what I DIY, so I was planning on grabbing the primer and flat black paint out ofthe basement. What I've done with cabinet hardware in the past was to attach them to a scrap piece of cardboard, prime, and paint. Maybe I'm overthinking it...
-
Oh, and I will try to post a vid tomorrow, though it doesn't really compare to most of the builds on here...
-
So it's been a couple months since building the box for my dc lvl 4 12 d2. I ended up messing up the color TWICE on the carpet when ordering from partsexpress. But finally got the right stuff.
Box is about 2.3 cubes tuned to 33-34 hz.
Box is built from 3/4" birch ply:
4" aeroport:
In the trunk, with the 2 wrong colors of carpet:
And after, with the proper color carpet installed:
And yes, I will paint the heads of the port screws black. That shouldn't take long though.
Amp pushing it is a directed d2400. Looking for a different amp though. Maybe an aq2200.
Anyways, thisis my first box build, so I'm rather proud of it.

I meant boy like as in friend. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Its a friend of mine from high school which i worked with at walmart for 2 years also.
Well then, prayers sent for your friend. Sorry for misunderstanding.
-
Prayers sent for your son. I can't even imagine what you must be going through with that.

Sounds like every other rap song out there...
-
These guys speak the truth. Ditch the quadrajunk.

Women can be extremely vindictive when they're angry; I have padlocks on my cigar humidors so my WIFE doesn't F*&$ them up when she's pissed.
Sorry for your troubles.
If my gf messed with my cigars she better not come back. I have WAY more invested into cigars than audio.

Should be instructions to change the keyless entry in the owner's manual.
About the girl, I say you PIITB then send her on her way.
-
Will do. Thanks for the CS!
-
I'm just gonna wait Til tomorrow to try again. Honestly, I think the humidity is playing a role
In the evaporation of cleaners from the surface. I pulled a new sheet, and it stuck just fine to the trunk lid. Oh well, one of those things I was only doing because I had the time available. I was out in the garage smoking a nice Cuban cigar and watching the rain, and figured "what the hell, why not stick a few more sheets on..."
-
Have my trunk floor torn apart to put a layer of dp down. Went to apply the first sheet to the vertical wall in the spare tire well, and it's nit sticking as it should. Cleaned withan all purpose cleaner (optimum power clean) then wiped down with prep solvent. Using a roller too.
Does humidity have anything to do with it? It's about 68 f here, but rather humid...
It stuck to the trunk lid fine a few days ago.

I'm no expert, but... clipping maybe?
I'm thinking people will need to know what % of your max "17" is. Are you at or above 75% of your max volume? What head unit? Brand/model of sub, amplifier used, and how you set your current gain setting may be helpful too.
