Idk. It'll be about a year before I get a big build really going, so I've got time to figure it out. Did the math. I actually have room for 8 15s in a fourth order. I'm trying to do something on sketchup real quick. Edit- I mean I MIGHT. If 1.5cuft per sub in the sealed side and 15cuft is enough for the ported side. I could polyfill if I had to. I'm working with a Malibu like Scottichbears if that helps. 98, four door coupe.

I have two R1s right now. Not too shabby for 150 a piece, but not what I want either.

I really don't want any 'IB4L" posts, because I'm not meaning to post a vs thread. But if you could only go $250 a piece on subs, what would you get? I don't want to find one thing and get my mind stuck on it, because I was stuck on RF and Soundstream before I got here and saw things that are so much better for the price. I really don't wanna go much higher than $250, but if I have to I will. It'll just take longer on the build. I'm really considering a 4th order. I have some plans for one. Basically, it'll be three independant boxes that join together with t-nuts (lots), and the subs will use the sides of the ported part as the baffle. I can get 6.88cuft before displacement on the two sealed boxes, and 15cuft before displacement for the ported side. I want to go with 4 15s, two in each sealed box, somewhere around 750-1000wrms. Here's a few that have caught my eye: GCons DC Lvl 3s Sundown Dayton Audio Titanic MKIII Still have no clue on an amp. Hifonics got my attention for the wattage vs price, but what's some others?

^^^ This is also true. My components are crossed from 80hz and up with the subs 80hz and down and I don't feel like too much is missing.

^This as a quick inexpensive solution but if you would like to do it right then adding a component set (separate tweeter and mid) and a mid bass would be a better route. You would need an electronic crossover or an amp that is active capable to achieve your goal in dialing in all the right frequencies. I did seem to forget to mention that... But yeah. Active crossovers would pretty much a must.

It seems like the norm for a four way set up is sub, midbass, mid, and then highs (tweets). If you already have coax speakers with tweeters on them I would just find a way to add midbass speakers.

And this is my cart. Because I like when things match.

I never fully introduced myself on here. I just kinda started posting. Lol. I'm Lane. I'm 19, and I recently got really into car audio. I found this forum through Steve's youtube vids. If you happen to find a herokight or herokight93 anywhere, it's probably me. By the way, in case it hasn't been stated enough, DAMN YOU HAVE SOME SKILLS, STEVE. Edit. Because I missed a few things.

Indeed, that is my card.

Eh. Considered it. I actually thought about a bass tunnel. I might just put two in at first and then do the wall. I mean, I'll eventually have a family and stuff, but lets be honest. I've only filled my entire car once, and my girl has her own car now so I never have to pick her and her sister up from school anymore. So my back seat never gets used. 4 15" in a trunk has that impossible feeling to it. Two of them would be pretty crazy. No need to jump into a wall till you're ready. Big commitment lol I've done the measuring, and it's definitely possible to fit two 15s where my two 12s are now, with more than enough room for a port. That's what I'll probably do first. I'm normally all about it just sounding good and equal instead of having overwhelming bass, but I've gotta build atleast one loud car. JUST ONE. Until I get totally addicted and keep putting loud ass builds in all my cars. Another thing I've gotta consider is that it'll be in my daily driver, and I currently live on a dirt road. So... Can you say new suspension?

http://youtu.be/U7r8wmsm5gE That's just two. And I'm considering 4 in a 4th order. The price is the main thing that's got me on them. If you buy 4 or more they're $210 a piece. Is there anything that might be better in that range? They're supposed to take 800wrms a piece, and I'm considering some Fosgate power for them, unless I find something at a better deal. Like I said, it'll be awhile but I like having a basic idea of what I want.

I found a pretty good deal on some Dayton Titanic 15s at Parts-Express. Has anyone had any personal experience with them? It'll be 6 months to a year until I do a big build, but I want to go ahead and start my planning stage. I want to run 4. From what I've heard to look for their specs make them seem like a good candidate for a 4th order, but I'm not sure if I have enough room for it without chopping my rear deck. The most room I can get out of my rear seat right now is 40x38X30", which was roughly measured with a yard stick just to get an idea of what I'm working with. Any advice guys? I've seen a video of two Titanics, not sure how many watts they were running or what the box specs were but they do some work. I was more impressed with them than what I was considering before. I just wanna weigh my options before i jump into something.

The law in Ga is 32%. I'm never actually seen 32% though. I'm going a little darker, but just to 20 in the back and 35 in the front. I just thought that was odd.

I haven't seen any signs of it coming off. It did chip a little bit until I painted it, and I think it still will if you hit it too hard. It's just an 80w install, so I figured it'd hold up ok.

Box has been done and installed. I'll get pics later, but here it is painted up.

I might give it a shot when I get some spare change.

Damn. I've never even thought of it before. I mean, my friend and I have taken subs apart and messed with them, but I haven't thought of making one at home. That's pretty damn cool.

Not mine. Pretty much every account I have on the internet is herokight or herokight93 Idk what ya'll think, but I think that's cool as hell. I never would've thought of it.

Ok. Now I don't feel like a complete idiot. Lol. I take it these aren't the easiest to calculate on your own? It doesn't look easy. It looks like a pain in the ass. But I am very interested in building one and having something a little different in my 'bu. Oh, I was being sarcastic. I don't see how you could logically guess cube, lol. Square and diamond are the same minus orientation I'm not quite sure why I've always heard it called a cube, now that you mention it... I've heard they could be both 6th order or 4th. What exactly is the difference? Isn't a 4th sealed/ported and a 6th ported/ported? I'm a little new to this, if you hadn't already noticed.

I thought about that too. I don't have the room for one like that, however. I have high hopes and dreams of walling my Malibu, and I'm just going through my options. These look interesting, so I figured it was atleast worth asking to get an idea of what it takes.

Yes, I suppose that's a better way of putting it.

It's got a diamond in the middle with the all the subs facing each other. I probably sound like a noob right now, but that's the only way I can think to describe it. I've always heard the term "bass cube" so I assumed everyone knew what it was. My bad guys.

It's a type of wall that I've seen. The only other thign I can think to call it is a bass diamond. Hold on, I'll find a build of one.
