  1. Even hearing this car in person, I can honestly tell you it will damn near make you mad how damn loud it is.

    Mad in a good way though. This thing is so freakin beast mode it's truly nuts. I heard it in Panama City at Spring Fling a couple months ago and I kept turning around repeatedly thinking the 18's would eventually appear or something......NOPE!! Just 4 damn 12's. LMAO!!

    BHE is definitely on another level. Great job guys. Absolutely loud as hell and looks freakin awesome!

  2. you won't see them the front wall is in the way. just look at ir pirates and thats how it is if that jeep is a 6th order id just about put money on it

    edit: they are on the front you can't see them anywhere else

    Cool, thanks man. I have definitely been looking at irpirates build. Is it safe to assume that pointing the ports at the front wall is a hard and fast rule for 6th order designs?

  3. I gotcha dude, I was just giving you a hard time. Thank you for trying to help me. I do not recall seeing ports on the front side when they panned the camera around, but I'll look at it again when I can.

  4. im pretty sure thats where irpirate got his box idea from go check out his build and i can't say for sure but ive never seen that build in here. and also i think there is a jeep with 12 15's in here that would trump that thing

    Excellent. Irpirate's build log is the one that got me looking around at 6th order stuff.

    Not to be a smartass, but I would really hope that 12 15's could easily spank 2 15's. If it didn't, that would probably put it on the podium for "Epic Fail Of The Year" award. LOLOL!!

  5. that douchebag is banned from here.

    Ok...even though he's not exactly well liked, I would still like to know if there was a build log. It's pretty hard to argue about the fact that the jeep was loud as hell, I just wanted to get some of the particulars about the enclosure. If the 15's are in ported chambers, I could not see the ports when they panned around with the camera. Where would the ports be for chambers the 15's were in??

  6. Thanks, I would like to do a build log here, I have one on another forum. It won't allow me to link pictures to this forum from my website since my pictures don't have jpg or jpeg in the address, some feature with this forum I guess so it means I would have to host all my pictures on a different server, which there is over 100 for this build.

    What forum, chances are pretty good that I am a member of whatever forum your build log is on? I would really like to take a good look at how this was accomplished.

  7. i guess its to remove the protection from Itunes protected songs

    Best way IMO is to just burn an audio cd through Itunes then put the songs back onto your computer and they will be unprotected

    Yes, this would be to remove protection from iTunes songs.

    My buddy was going to burn an audio CD, but we did not want to have to go through that trouble if it was not necessary. So after he made a burn CD with iTunes, the protection would be gone?? It would not carry over the protection when the file is burned??

  8. Here is the problem, most of the time i dont have time to answer all the questions about the box, as they are not all easy to answer. I usually pop in check the DC forum and leave and get back to work.

    I will fill you in on the box here quickly. Currently 6th order, rebuilding to 4th order to try it out. Truck is a all wood build, to keep the weight down and keep Jimbo driving to the shows, including 32 hour each way to finals. The main thing that makes Jimbo wang is the testing time. It has been rebuilt many times over. The volumes are to small, dont know exact but thats not important, they are as big as i can make them in a tiny vehicle like Jimbo. If this was a astro it would be much louder as i could have proper ratios to make it efficient. But approx 4 subs share 7 cubes. But with enough testing you can make anything work, this is the trick, test hard and trust in your equipment to hold up this is why i use DC subs and Stetsom amps. On that note 14,000 watts of power from 4 Stetsom 4k2d amps, and 8 DC lv4xl subs 8 Powermaster D3100 batts. On top of that it helps to be ran over by a semi atleast once before you try to build a truck like this. Makes it more challenging. I will dig deep and try to improve on my score on sept 13th for the next 2x dB Drag event.

    This is pretty much all anyone wants to hear. Pics are nice, but the summary above and the recommendations you have made are indeed very nice. I and everyone else appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain this setup. By comparison, you are running a really meager amount of equipment as opposed to some of the other famous bassracers. You have built a very inspiring truck and it was certainly not my intention to criticize. I just want to learn more about this stuff and what it takes to really be loud. Termpro used to be a place you could go to for good info. Now all you get is someone stating the most vague comment in the world like "someone is getting louder" with a bunch of smiley faces after the statement and it takes 2-4 pages of B.S. posts for them to say what woofers they are running and another 4-5 pages on amps. You can forget pics over there. PeteS and Assman seem to be the only ones that take lots of pics to post over on termpro when they build something. The others are like watching a game of just the tip and that's all that ever happens. No payoff at all.

  9. Kudos to the A-Team on the score, but why are questions about the box being ignored? Another cloak and dagger termpro build strikes again. We would all love to know more about this beast. I hope my post does not come across the wrong way, but being cloak and dagger about a build is what drove people away in the first place. Here are some questions:

    1) Looks like stetsom amps are being used, but which ones and how many?

    2) Is the enclosure a 4th order or 6th order BP?

    3) What kind of volumes on the back side of the subs are you running? This may be more applicable to 4th order enclosures.

    Again, we all just want to understand what makes this beast really tick.

  10. i use, pencil, paper, erasors, napkins, and Bass-box pro 6 to design my boxes.

    Fair enough. I built something fairly useful in Excel. Got tired of pen, paper, erasors, and napkins. LOL!! Props to you for the old school madness. Whatever works eh??

    When you use BBP6, how much stock do you take in what it is telling you about how the enclosure should/will perform? I've never been a fan of any program that seeks to predict output abilities. You're probably relying more on what it tells you with regards to standing waves and what not right??

  11. What program did you use to "plot" the alignment? I am definitely going to give this a shot, but I can honestly tell you that I do not know how to model the front chamber. I know how to do the rear chamber, but the front chamber is purely guessing and its literally going to be built big enough so I can drill the speakers in place since that is my top concern next to the box itself.

    Thanks for the reminder about the coupon code, but I had already found that information. Thanks again for all of your help.

    Common Steve, help a fellow basshead out. Please see my last question regarding the build.

    Hey Steve, I had one more question for ya. See the above post. Hopefully I won't have anymore questions. LOL!

  13. i guess you could say that.....

    it didnt "plot" too good as a 6th order but as a ported box it looked pretty good - it sounds better then it plotted on either one of them though. I guess i got lucky. Thats what it comes down to 99% of the time with any box IMO. No matter how good it looks on paper it still needs to be tried out in real life.

    oh on the form finder, no prob! dont forget about the SMD discount! its either meade or smd in the coupon code, i forget..

  14. Although it looks, and probably acts like a 6th order, its really just two ported boxes aimed at each other :D It "plots" better that way anyway LOL.

    You can get the Form Finder at www.MobileSolutions-usa.com - and dont get lost there, that is a installers dream website :)

    Thanks man. So what you are saying is that you simply set out to design 2 ported boxes and it simply turned out like a 6th order? Did you think about what would happen in that front chamber at all or were you primarily concerned with the ported box alignment? I may try my hand, but I just don't want it to sound like total poo if I screw up on the front chamber.

    I am ordering a form finder today sir :clapping: . Thanks for the tips.

  15. Greetings Steve,

    I have a couple of questions regarding the enclosure design for chicken's caddy. First of all, fantastic work. Before I get to my questions, I would like everyone to know that I went through nearly 40 pages of the thread looking for this info, but I either overlooked it or did not see it. Hopefully the flaming is not near as bad over here as at ca.com. Secondly, is that particular design a bandpass? It looks like a 6th order design. I usually build your very typical sealed and ported enclosures for folks, however a gentleman is wanting me to do a build in his Avalanche that is not going to lend itself to anything resembling simple. The only thing I can really come up with in my mind is a design that looks exactly what you did in chicken's truck (on a much smaller scale of course). 2 questions, the chamber behind the subs is tuned low right? If the design is indeed a bandpass, then what kind of tuning, volume, and port area is the front chamber? I really want to understand the methods to madness on bandpass designs, but they seem to be quite confusing.

    Brandon

    P.S.

    Where did you get the form finder piece for doing curves when you built the wall? Does it simply hold it's shape when you press it into the contours?
