Nice! need to talk to my local police chief and get the exact laws in indiana! would be nice to know. I get pulled over all the time for it. and that's not even at stop lights.

I think cone area is definitely king. I am actually working on my new build now. 6 obsidian 18's on 4,000 watts. Low power but it should still get very loud since the subs are being powered properly. I will post a vid to show you guys. but I know a guy with 6 american bass 10s. paid 70 a piece for the subs. and only running 3k watts in a 2 door jimmy and he is hitting mid 50's.
-
LOL at paying 170 for a refurbished kicker. I know nobody is changing your mind, but for that price, you can get a brand new skar vvx 12 which will be louder with way better sound quality.

Also, I just thought of something, my port will be facing the hatch. And since the box will be so big, I'm sure the port will be very close to the back hatch. Am I going to have to tune my box higher because the back hatch will act like an external port? This is my first build with the port back against the hatch. thanks!
Yes you will have to keep in front of the port a distance about equal to the width or the height of the port whichever is less. If you post your max dims for the box I could give you a suggestion.
Will do. I was going to do that yesterday but totally forgot. I'll measure tonight after work. But I don't get off until 11 pm est. but I could definitely use the help. Don't want to have to build 2 of these huge boxes!

Congrats! been a subscriber for a while. You're the guy who inspired me. keep doin what you're doin man!

i would absolutley love to tune-in to this build. you dont see alot of people doing what you plan on doing, and IMO, it sounds like it would be SICK.
Well I honestly plan on getting it done ASAP. will post up a bl as I'm workin on it.

I had planned on taking the 2nd row out. ur telling me you have 20 cu ft behind the 2nd row? I read that wrong before. But ya I'm talking b-pillar back. Think I could squeeze in 30 cu ft? and still have room for my air tank for my train horn? lol
oh fuck !!!! You will have plenty of room from the b pillar.
That's what I like to hear! I mean I'd like to keep the back seat, but 6 18's is just too bad ass to pass up. I'll get back to you guys tonight with the box design

I dont think you will fit 6 18's behind the second row seat,15's maybe. If you threw out some dimensions we would know for sure instead of all this maybe or maybe not LoL!!!
i will measure tonight after work. I guess my new dream is to do 6 15's. lol. but hopefully we will figure something out.

and if subs up/port back won't fit, I'll have to do a 4th order. Either way, just looking to move a lot of air. The AQ's just aren't cutting it.
what year is the tahoe ? If it is a 03 style it will not fit behind the 2nd row. If its an older one ( box style ) it will fit. I have an 03 tahoe and building a 20cf box now and it is a squeeeeeeze.
Nice name to you as well haha. but It's an 03. and JP has 10 18's in his 98 hoe. but I may have to go for 15's then. I will see what I can come up with.
Lol. Jp has 10 18 squeeeeezed in his truck. Trust me , I am struggling to find a place to mount my 2 5k's because the 20 cf box takes up the entire cargo area.
This was with 2 of the 18's
I believe you. but can't look at the picture now. I'm at work for another 2 hrs and they have pics blocked. That's the bad thing about our body style tahoe. really isn't all that much room in there.

Yes, even though my electrical can't handle the full power of my SAE1200, they still get pretty loud. I'd imagine 6 18's would be freakin retarded.
They sound awesome too. Get low on rap, and I've never heard a clearer kick drum. And I listen to some pretty fast metal. each double bass kick is loud and clear. I don't have sound deadener, but I for sure need some. My hatch window and sunroof sound like they're gonna break.
Well that's what I'm going for lol. But the AQ's definitely don't get all that low since they're tuned to 36 hz. But I just wanted to try a low setup tuned to around 30 that will do some hair tricks for demos. And it seems like this would definitely be my best option on the amp that I have.
-
I'd do it.
Are you happy with your obsidians?
-
Will the 4K is giving them a little over RMS still... So you shouldnt have any problems driving them. My only question would be how tall your box is going to be for all 6 18's to fit in there and be ported.
Well that's what I'm worried about. I haven't had the chance to measure up and design a box but I was planning on doing that tonight. If I can squeeze them in behind the b pillar with subs up, thats what I'd like to do. Should create a lot of pressure that way. But it will be tough to fit around 30 cu ft in the back.
-
Well the reason I chose obsidian's is because I know they can move a LOT of air with a low amount of power. And the reason I chose 6 is because 6 600rms woofers would go perfect with my amp. I suppose I could do 6 15" behind the c pillar but I had planned on doing 6 18's behind the b pillar. I don't know much about 4th orders. That's why I wanted to try and do subs up/port back. It's just that I haven't seen many obsidian setups since they're a new company so I thought it would be cool to try a multi woofer setup with them.

I've been thinking long and hard and I think I'm going to sell my AQ's and put 6 obsidian 18's in my tahoe subs up/port back. I will run them off my crescendo 3500 at .66 ohms. You guys think I can get loud even though it's only 4k watts? I know that's not much but I would almost have to hit a 152 or higher with 6 18's. What do you guys think?
*Edit*
If my port ends up being close to the rear hatch, will I need to tune the box higher? I was thinking that if the hatch acts like another port, it would lower the tuning. Is this correct?

Kaspersky, thats what I use and what I recommend to all my customers. Staples has Kaspersky Internet Security on sale this week for $11 with a $11 mail in rebate so its free. Winning.
just went to staples and picked it up for $11. Thanks for the info!

I use microsoft security essentials and hitman pro. it has a 30 day free trial. but after the trial is up, delete it and reinstall. works every time.

OK, ive decided that I'm going to use expanding foam tonight to seal it off completely. should i use saran wrap or plastic bags to hold the expanding foam? The only thing I'm worried about is how much great stuff it's going to take to seal all of the gaps. Do you guys think that would be my best option to make a quick seal? Tonight is the only night I will have free and it seems like that's the quickest option.

Never thought about doing plastidip. i could probably do that as well. which do you think looks better?
-
Avoid any of the spray on stuff, rustoleum and duplicolor both don't have that nice real thicker bedliner look. I tried both. Then tried herculiner and its exactly what i was going for. You can get the smaller tin from herculiner (i think its about a quart?) It was about 25 bucks locally and it covered the front of my wall and my door pods with plenty to spare. You can check out my build if you want to see how it looks.
good to hear. I will check out ur build log when I get home. Damn work computer won't let me view pics. Thanks for the help!
-
since its a wall i would only assume its in the truck already lol. with that i would use a roll on. just becuase it would be easier to keep it clean then having to tape off and bag everything that you dont want to get overspray on.
Ya its already in there lol. I was thinking the same thing, but if spray worked better, i wouldn't mind taping it off.
new guy.
