Huhi just put wood filler where all the screws are and sanded and painted with house paint
it looks so smooth, or that's how paint comes out on MDF? I've never painted MDF before..ya dude. when i was gonna first paint it i was gonna spray paint but i build a 12 box and eventually sold it and i painted it with spray paint and it looked like shit hah. so i tried out some old paint from my house. just get a nice roller and like a 15 dollar small can of house paint. i painted my 10 box too

i have a design for 1.8 tuned to 32 hz for a single e12 but you can make a dual box out of it and face the subs in the cab. i did the same thing with 10s in my 2001 oldsmobile alero. pretty much the same car. i just dont want to waist my time posting it if you dont want it. should work fine for a sa 12 but i think they need 2 cubes.

How's Ur voltage now?
my voltage is alot better but it still isnt the best. my alternator is seriously messed up. my voltage never goes under 12 volts but i was hoping for it to never go under 13 but looks like i gotta get a mechman alternator before i plan on buying my highs amp.
The only way to stay in the 13+ volt range is to never exceed your alternators output capabilities. For example if you have a 5K watt amp then you would need at least 550amps of alternator power to stay above 1

im thinking about getting a mechman 170 amp. you think that would be alright to have "2400" watts on?

This is always nice to have
i dont see how you can read that. lol it wont let me zoom in or anything -

Yeahh man! I had preordered the X12 but since I got a new car, I am able to fit the 15 so I switched the order and paid the difference. I'm shooting for a 4ft^3 tuned to 30hz via 6" aero. Deff gonna move some air with that
oh getting a x 15. cant wait to see some videos man. i wish i would of got me a x12 there so damn niceSo excited for my 15 to come in! Although I wont install it until I buy my door speakers and a processor
the wait will pay off though!
are you getting a new amp?
I really want to, I want to sell my current Soundstream first and use the money from that to help pay for a used SAZ-1500
hell ya man. i just got a new xs power 3400 in the front. look at carstereogiant.com they always have good open box deals on sundown subs and amps

appriciate it man. soldering was pretty fun the first time hah. it was a bitch getting that filter in though but i got it.
Looks good!!!

i bought two e8v3s and 3 e12s and they were all in perfect condition. do it you wont regret it. good bargain hah
-
thanks man i put some time in that thing to make it sexy hah. i dont listen to decaf though. its funny because i was asking my brother the other day what it even was. is it like a artist or just like regular songs slowed down with more bass? it sounds good on pretty much every kinda music.
-
Ya I think. its just some cheap 0 gauge. More like 2 gauge lol

to late now. i just ordered the d3400 yesterday. i appreciate the input though i was gonna get the 975 in the first place and use another battery in the back but im just gonna see what the d3400 can do with just that battery and if it doesn't fix my voltage ill either get a HO alternator or get another battery for the back

thanks man they deff put out some bass for how little air space they need. your building a box for sa12s now?
Yeah, am working up a design for 2 of them in a bandpass enclosure. I am soooooo close to building lol but I keep making myself rework the numbers because I only want to build it once (yeah right lol). Probably going to take some work to get it to sound like I want.
ya thats for sure nothing worse then building a box that doesnt sound like you want.
-
dont you have to cut the factory wires to do that though?
-
thanks man ya there real good subs. the box came out real good it was the first box i painted with house paint.

i measured the room and everything looks like it is gonna fit just nice. in the picture i have the battery i have now with the regular alternator wires and the other stuff to the original posts on the side. can i do this with the xs battery and put all my power wire and everything to my amps on top and put the factory wires on the side. the xs power 555 looks like the thing i need to get for that. but i appreciate all the help so far. yall are very helpful i would be buying a extra battery right now and be mixing wet with dry cell battery
