It sounds like a penny or something is vibrating in it i guess? not sure whats happening. On a side note, how would I wire a DVC sub in reverse, do i just need to switch everything or only the wires from the amp? Thanks for the help

well it clicks no matter the volume on the head unit, and its more noticeable on like a beat rather than a held bass note. I'll take a video when I get a chance, but I set it with a O-Scope and I still stay at about 44/62 on the HU (48 is when it starts clipping according to the O-Scope)

Ahhh didn't think of that lol

I thought I read you only need to reverse if you are inverting 1 of 2 or more subs, but alright will do

Tinsel Slap seems like it may be the problem for the AA Havoc, at least according to some stuff I found on google

It's only 1 subwoofer so I don't need to I don't believe.. do I?

The amp is an AQ1200d and the sub is an AA Havoc.

Just did, didn't hear or feel anything.

Didn't think about checking that, I'll have to do that real quick

in the gap where the coils are?

So I tried inverting my sub woofer today to see how it would look and when I was playing songs, I can hear this click noise when the bass hits. I don't believe its clipping because I tuned it with an O-Scope and I've been running it that way for 4 months now and it has sounded fine. When I listened closely, it sounded like it was coming from the coils or something. I didn't hear it before since the motor was in the box but when I inverted it, I was able to hear it. Anyone have any clue as to what may be causing the problem/is it normal? My power is on the opposite side of the car of the RCA's. The amp is an AQ1200d and the sub is an AA Havoc.

Actually what I was looking at was the Lexan sheets, forgot to mention it. If you were doing an entire wall out of plexiglass, I would guess you would want 3/4" - 1" thick sheet. I could be completely off on that though, but thats what I would guess

So I was thinking about trying to put a little plexiglass window in my box (maybe 8x8 or so?) for an AA Havoc 15". I was wondering how it would affect my playing if I did not use a thick sheet (i.e could I use a 3mm sheet with alot of sealant or something?). Would a lot of air leak out/would it not be able to withstand the pressure

And here is a very shitty paint job, or rather spray paint job, of the box. Used only 4 cans, and realized after wards that I should have put a black coat of paint so the white didn't shine through, but whatever! But it still looks good in the car!

ahhhh, ok, cool

I do not, but I have seen a lot of people do that. Is it something for looks or does it help the air escape? Look at me asking questions on my own build log

Put on some caulk to seal the edges again before getting painted. Sanding it down! And the last post for today: the priming.

Even though I said I would have time to take pictures, I really wasn't concerned with doing so.. so theres not many of the making of the box.. But here is what it looks like with the port cut and positioned. Throwing some caulk on the edges And here's the semi-finished product with the stuff hooked up. The amp isn't positioned how I want it since my amp wire is short from my last setup, but that will be fixed after I paint it since I got some more for free from a buddy . And yes the wiring is very messy, but it will change, like I said, after i paint it.

First things first, gotta cut some wood! My dad loves his power tools so he offered to help.. giving me time to take pictures lol xD So far so good!

Alright, this is my first shot at a powerful system so more than likely there are going to be quite a few screw ups That being said, lets get started! Equipment - Subwoofer: (1) D2 Ascendant Audio Havoc 15" Amplifier: AQ1200d wired to 1 Ohm Door Speakers: Pioneer TS-G1343R Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-2200UB Wiring: 4 Gauge ground and power Here's a comparison of the Havoc to my old Pioneer 12" sub Some Coils! And here's a quick diagram of the setup(Measure twice cut once... or in this case draw 4 different diagrams, build the 5th. lol)

If I strapped the amps, would they heat up pretty bad since they're 2 ohm stable versus 1 ohm stable strapped?

Oh I know, I'm just thinking for future add ons. If I were to get another DVC, could I buy 1 amp to power both at 1 ohm. It's currently a setup of AA Havoc 15" and an AQ1200. More than likely I'll just get another sub and amp instead rather than buying 2 new subs.

It's a DVC.

lol oh, ok xD. thanks!
