d975 in the back + big 3

just trying diffent things and seeing what sounds good. The first box put up pretty descent numbers plus sounded great. If the new setup don't work for me I'm walling it off. No offence taken just trying different things to see what sounds best in my car.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this box.
Considering its size, it is pretty much a wall.
It goes litterally the size of the cargo opening with woofers fwd like a wall, but is not sealed off and there is a big port on the back? I fail to see how this is practical at all. The newer draft looks like a step in the right direction but you'll be losing the majority of your sound. Why not take that original box size, shoot the port forward and seal it up tight? I would think that will out perform any of the displayed box alignments. I'm not hating on the build, just trying to get a glimpse at why it is set up the way it is.

lol.. I just realized I could fit 4 18" s with this kind of box... tempting
-
battery box idea... hoping to come out looking clean this time.. hell I might even paint my stuff this time around..

New box design.. Subs up and port to the rear. I'm gonna use more bracing and glass the inside this time around. Anyone have any luck re-using wood from a previous box? Or is the wood glue going to pretty much make it not worth the hassle? (Elmer's)

I ran a d2 VVX 15 on a Sundown 1.2k at 1ohm and it sounded great. My buddy Jview has it in his car now and likes it alot. You looked around the Skar section for info at all? I'm sure the Sundown subs are good also or Obsidian for that matter if they ever have some available.

i like the beat of that song.. looks beast man

my vvx 15 would take 1000ish rms all day long from my Sundown 1.2K and sound good doing it

Running subs fwd port back now
Well 2-18s is more cone area so I dont really see much gain with the 4-12s. You would have more motor force and coils to counter heat, but I think you would be hard up to on 4-12s now if you were talking 6-12s I could see that. If you like looking at your 18s so much, we could do subs forward ports back, that has been proven in a crx and explorer that I know of first hand, so I would imagine it should work in yours as well.

wish I could be there sounds like a good time

The shop has anything you could ever need to build a box minus screws and glue and such..Gotta goto the"monkey store" for that ish. I'm pretty stuck on birch but they have like 6 different kinds of plywood I believe. Buss bars prob not and aero's id just order online if it were me. I'm kinda torn on the 18's though as much as I want like 4 12's.. The XL's are sounding f n amazing with the comps on the 100.4 to complement. I'm not really about the competition aspect at this point, I just love music and enjoy tinkering.. So it's whatever.. Got a shop pack of Damplifier Pro.. so I'll be busy for sure soon.
I didnt know you were wanting a wall. Some people swear by them, some dont its really up to the person I think. If you have the knowledge base to build a good wall I could see the potential. Im not bias by no means and I like you am always down to build something. Surely you can find a buyer on here in the for sale section for those XL 18s! Looks like I will be bringing a fair amount of stuff since bret gave me the heads up! Do they by chance have material to make buss bars there? Aero port material? In the wood shop what all do they have? Routers, table saws, etc? What selection of wood do they have? Sounds like I have a ton to have relief over though thats for sure!

Subs up port back was the original plan but I like to look at my XL's..lol Anyhow, probably going to wall it off and add some mids. Shipping to over here really isn't that bad as long as you have them ship priority.. parcel can take months. Also would really like to go all Skar Audio with my build but wasn't having any luck getting rid of the XL's.. If I find a buyer I'll most likely go with 4 12's or 15's. I love building boxes so who knows and the woodshop on Kadena is really nice. 1.50 an hour and everything you need is right there.
I always have ideas in my head when I see something, I was thinking subs up port back, but go with 6inch aeros then we could toy with the box placement to get the most out of it. I learned alot in my explorer doing this so I know it works. Also if we did that with your box we could do like you have now and run the batts across the front of the box, switch to some bar stock in case the batts and mount the amps right over top of them with some all thread and clean it up a bit. Honestly I could go on for days with ideas, but I guess its going to depend on what supplies we can get on the island and what we would have to order or have sent to us really.
