  1. single cab box help

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    ok, i chopped another box up and made a box but it ended up fitting but the surround was touching the back of the seat.

    dimensions of the box i built:

    13" high

    7.5" top

    9" bottom

    didnt measure the length though because it is down pouring outside

    made a template with those dimensions and made a template of the sub also

    found that i could build a box smaller than the one i built with these dimensions

    13" high

    5.25" top

    7.25" bottom

    4' long

    found that with those dimensions the box is approximately 1.586 cubic feet

    sealed box according to powerbass should be .65 cubic feet so would this be a better alternative

  3. single cab box help

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by codeym

    I have a 1991 dodge dakota single cab, therefor i have little to no room behind the seat.

    I have 2 powerbass XL-10D subs, i got them for $20 and they work amazing hooked up to my home stereo.

    I wanna build a box to put behind the seat to house the those 2 subs.

    i found dimension online for a box:

    outside dimensions:

    13" high

    3.5" top

    7.75" bottom

    and i have about 4' of length

    so i designed the box in google sketch up and the internal dimensions end up being

    11.5" high

    2.25" top

    5 15/16" bottom

    again 4" long

    i also went and drew the sub up in google sketch up and the mounting depth is too big/long.

    so my question is, i have dynamat 6260 that was already installed when i picked the truck up, on the back wall, can i build a box without a back and securely fasten it to the back of the truck.

    dont have a amp yet as i am on a tight budget, and have been looking around on craigslist for one.

    so can i use the back of the truck as the back of the box?

    I am looking to get some new subs but I am on a very tight budget. I was looking around online and wondered across these

    I was thinkin the 12s since i already have a box that is to specs for those subs and could just drop them in.

    Any opinions on these and i know you get what you pay for but these seem to be decent subs

  8. alternator wiring help

    On black friday i decided i would do the big 3 since i had the stuff to do so. i have a 2000 caravan with the 3.3l v6, yeah i know it isnt that great of a vehicle but it has 184,xxx miles and no major problems ever, and it has a 90 amp stock alternator. i first ran the wire from the alternator to the battery which was 0g and i then checked to see if it would still start. it would not even after i unhooked it from the battery. so i completely removed it and it started right up fine with no problems. what i wanna know is what was i doing wrong or what is causing this. I am running a small system and am getting dimming. 2 pioneer ts-w304c, pioneer deh- 23ub, and a sony xplod amp. I know it is a cheap system but i am fine and it hits really good. i have 4g wire ran to the amp and ground right now.

    Yeah, Im gonna end ep needing a new alternator sooner or later but dont have the money to lay out for a 200+ amp so I'll probably just do the big 3 for now and check all my connections. I have plans in the future to put a better system in but just dont have the cash now to do so but I am happy with my setup for now.

    I normaly wouldn't mix the subs but they were given to me and the coustic amp was just sitting around so i decided to hook them up.

    I am a kicker or pioneer kind of guy so my future system is gonna be either of those subs.

    My alt is on the passenger side towards the back of the engine. i can see it fine but getting to it is a bitch.

    have not done the big 3 or upgraded alternator or no second battery

    I am cheap and have gotten most of this stuff in trade deals so I am at the point now where i have a good system but major headlight dimming so i am going to have to sink some cash into this build

    not sure if the big 3 would help or not, I want to take care of this problem as cheaply as possible, rather not do an alternator because they are expensive, would rather add a second battery or even do the big 3, i can get a 130 amp replacement for a newer version of my vehicle but had teh same engine but it is $150

    what ever would be the cheapest fix would be best, could upgrade to the 130 amp alt if i have to but would rather not as the alternator is a bitch to get to because the engine is mounted sideways

    i am a senior in high school and am not working, had a tech support job, worked for 6 months and absolutely hated it so quit, want to get another job to build a better system

    I just installed another amp and 2 more 10" subs(infinity ref1020w), before i put those in i had a little dimming at med to high volume levels but now it dims at medium to low levels. My vehicle comes stock with a 90 amp alt, can i just run 0g wire from the battery under the hood to a battery in the vehicle and the alt will charge both or should i get a better alt. I am on the cheaper side so i would rather get another battery than another alt as it will be a bitch to change because the engine is mounted sideways.

    Any help would be great.

  15. plexiglass amp rack

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    Ok what im wantong to do is take and recess my amp in a piece of plexiglass and put blue leds in it but im not sure how to do it.ive read some people put the leds inside the plexiglass somehow then some just put the leds under the amp rack.also how do you get the frosted look?

    To get that frosted look you can try some fine grit sand paper and sand only the top and bottom and not the sides then get some strip LEDS and tape/glue/fasten them to the edge and you will get that look you want.
