  1. That's what I thought. I bout got the box done. Now just got to wait for the sub/amp to get here. And decide if I want to paint, carpet, or leave it bare?
  2. Got to work on the box today. Don't seem to be having any problems so far. Its looking great. Thanks alot, I really appreciate it. I do have question, tho. Does it matter where I put the sub at on the baffle? Should I put closer to the port, or further from the port?
  3. Thanks alot for the help. I appreciate it. Now I just need the sub/amp and wood! I'll let you know if I have any questions or run into any problems. Is the vb after displacements?
  4. I've tried and tried to download Torres and for some reason I can't. So, since I can't download it would someone help me design a box for a skar ivx 15? If anyone is willing to help, here is what I'm working with. Equipment: Sub: Skar ivx 15d2 Amp: hifonics Zeus 500.2 Vehicle: 1991 Lincoln towncar Trunk is pretty damn big so not really limited too much for a single 15, but I'll go get exact measurements real quick. Goal: as loud as it can get for a daily box! I listen to mostly rap. I'm going to run it bridged at 4ohms, so it will be over-powered but it will be tuned with a dd1. The specs of the sub say 3.5ft^3 @35hz Edit: measurements of trunk is 26"H X 29"D X 42"W. That is usable space measurements. Actual trunk measurements are 27"H X 60"D X 55"W. The trunk of a towncar is designed weird which is why usable measurements are so different than the actual size of the trunk.
  5. Thanks for all the suggestions. I talked to the shop and I'm going to bring it in to them and let them check it out. Just hope theey accept responsibility and fix it for free.
  6. I have a 91 Lincoln towncar. A couple weeks ago i took it to a shop to get the back brakes changed and rotors re-surfaced. I get it back and everything is good...for a couple days. I first noticed the car seemed to be struggling a lil when taking off after pushing the brake and just burning through gas. A couple days ago I noticed if I pull the brake pedal up with my foot, the brakes seem to release. Almost like the brakes aren't releasing all the way. What would cause this and how do I fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
  7. I got up this morning and got to work trying what was suggested to me. And i want to say a huge thanks to everyone for your help. It worked, and no more "humming noise. Thanks everyone, i really appreciate it.
  8. Thanks alot. I'm going to try it tomorrow. Too dark out tonight.
  9. Yes it is a pioneer deck. What is the fuse inside? And can it be changed? I had a hifonics bxi2610 and a mayhem 18 running off the same deck in a different car with no issues.
  10. i am running them off an external amp. i am running a 0gauge from front to back under the car down the frame, and rcas are running under carpet down the drivers side. when i thought the rcas were bad, i just plugged the new set of rcas into the radio and directly to the amp(not under the carpet or anything. if i could find the correct wiring harness for the car, i would run the 6.5s off the factory amp just to see if it still had the whine with the factory amp. but, i can't find anywhere that sells the correct one. i looked on ebay, but they all say it's not the correct harness for vehicles with "premium sound systems". i'm at a loss as to what is causing this.
  11. on the issue of the rcas being too close to power, it can't be. i would have thought that, too except my power wire is ran down one side of the car and the rcas down the other. but thanks anyway. and i'll look up how to ground the rcas. one more thing i wanted to add, is that when the car is running, the car itself kind of has a humming noise. not sure what it is. the car is a 91 lincoln town car, if anyone else on here has one. maybe they could let me know if there's does the same thing or not. when i get a chance, i'll try to take a short vid of the sound the car itself makes while running.
  12. I just installed a 400watt amp and a set of 6.5 comps in my girlfriends car. When the car is running i get a horrible humming/buzzing noise from the 6.5's. When not running just clean sound. Already changed rca's, moved ground. What else could it be? What can i do to fix it? The car does have a factory amp so could that have something to do with it?
  13. can't figure out how to post a pic, but i have a sa10 for $110 shipped. the sub has a torn lead on one coil
  14. still looking? i have a single sa10 motor and basket.
  15. i have a fully working mayhem 18, dual 1.4
  16. a video of my mayhem 18 and hifonics bxi2610 flexin the hell out of my car! what do you think?
  17. this is with about a 1" gap in the trunk lid. the arms are actually bent so the trunk won't seal. i can imagine what it will do when it gets fixed.
  18. short hairtrick from my stepson. this is a trunk car, so was surprised to do a hairtrick at all. all equipment in trunk, backseat in and up. what do you think? does this qualify as a hairtrick? sub is a AA Mayhem 18, and hinfonics bxi2610 2600watt amp.
  19. thanks. it's in a box given to me by extremeauto. he's an extremely cool person. went to meet him and get a demo of frakenstein2, and ended up leaving with the box. he told me it was tuned low, but i didn't expect it to flex my car the way it does. i can only imagine what it's going to do when i get the trunk fixed.
  20. not really sure on the datasafes. they were bought from ram. it leaks majorly! i'm going to have to take the whole lid off and mess with the arms some. it's like that from some dumbass who thought they'd be able to pry the whole lid off or something. i don't have a garage to work in and it's too cold, and wet to take it off outside right now.
  21. this is my first video of the new setup. tell me what you think. it's AA mayhem 18, hifonics bxi2610, factory alt, red top up frot and 2 datasafes in the trunk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=WedTixY9eO4
  22. thanks alot i really appreciate the help. my trunk is weird shaped and that leaves less options for designs. i'm going to do a test fit with some scrap wood and see if it will fit.
