Ive always seen like vids of Boston Acoustic G5's WANGIN like looks like a sweet sub The following link is an oval G5 like MONSTER, but normal G5's look awesome too Is this like an SQ Woofer or... What in the general consensus on G5's I never really hear about people running these.. good or no? G5 Oval http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_15774_...s+SPG555-4.html Reg G5 G5 Oval

im having a rough time seeing the design, it looks like your porting the cone of one sub and not the rest... maybe im blind.. help me out?

hey if you hit the print screen button which is the next button to the left of f12 on your keyboard you can take a pic of everything on your comp screen. open up MS Paint (Start> Accessories> Paint) hit Control V to Paste and Crop out what you need.. = better pics But IMO You got 4 beefy 15's youll want some bracing (bracing the top to bottom and sides to e/o gives more stregnth than doubling all the walls) I would put a brace from top to bottom in the center and move the port to the back. Subs up port back should be your best bet. of corse IMO anyway in any regard, Good Luck with the build P4Killer

I yea I gotta say Im with Decaf on this one bro, I usually dont comment much on other people posts b/c there are many knowledgable people on this forum who can offer much better advice than I. However, I saw this and was like what the... Dont get me wrong nice box and build for sure bro kudos on that, but on the same mono block amp, with what is essentially two dif boxes and two dif sets of subs sounds iffy at best. Youre talking dif impeadences, dif reactives, really just dif everything. Wait to put your second amp on the second set of subs, but untill then id stick with the 15's. As always I could be wrong, and you could be ok running it like that. In the end Good Work and Good Luck M8

I dont know how to set the gains with my dmm a tut would nice ummm as far as box design, it my first box its not good, it wangs hahaha but in terms of craftmanship and as far as home built boxes go its a lil rough so for the ratio bit-- yea well i was cramming as much air space as possible, all ratio(s) ignored. and umm its hard to describe the rattle, the note hits and its a high pitched buzz like berrrrr instead of bummm lol i guess thtll have to do. its not like a distortion sound or a mechanical limit being reached. i didnt see any torn spider(s). I mean like i said before something happened.. it was loud eevrything sounded supurb considering and now its like theres tht stupid w/e it is again... obvi untill my issues are resolved no wangin' down the block for me !!!! i could take a vid using a dig cam but i doubt the mic would pick up the bass all tht well

yea my 12v voltage is resting car off at 12.65 at the amp and as well as at both bats after voltage drop it prolly isnt pretty. As far as setting the gains using my dmm idk really how to the gain setting at 75% is just a general thing i read. when a buddy and me clamped it on music, which i know is kinda irrelavent to clamp on music i was seeing around 2200 or so. i want to get a K2400 but apparantly kinetik is out of them.... or at least another 1400 SOMETHING. after toying around a bit im starting to think ive got major box flex issues or something similar somewhere. @ low volume things sounds normal at around vol 25 it sounds very dif which is why i had become concerned to begin with. but if i turn it up to higher volumes you can def hear what seems to me like mdf rattle but when i checked the box earlier today i couldnt get it to budge (manually of course). either that or my trunk shelf in the back window finally gave up and came loose even though i cant find any new rattles or openings that might change the sound dramatically. I was just worried that it was an equip issue and a box issue would be much less of an issue for me. i got a month or something till the maxxonics event coming up it would be my first show. my spl my not be pretty but it would be for the experience and possibly getting more involved in competing. I know the electrical is not good, but i never went into protect or anything and if i wired up to 2 ohms to reduce the load -- i just plan on going 139.9 class and at 2 ohms idk if id have enough head room to make it as it would be my first event and my starts might not be pretty so i would lose the extra headroom i had at .5 ohm to "catch up" if i ran at 2ohms... i cant find the box flex as of right now so what else could cause a much different sound especially at low freq notes?

Thanks for the replies all of you. umm as in the link from the orig post my setup is : Sundown SAZ3000D on 4 PA Fubar 12's @ .5 ohm 0 guage wiring, stock bat + K1400 the electrical is not at all the best or even ideal, but as far as gains the gain is at 75%, subsonic at 20hz , low pass at 80hz or so these are approx values of course. Ive been running the setup for awhile now and its all been fine till now the gains are good port is solid at least ive pushed/pulled and its solid. box is ported btw the amp stays on doesnt go into protect ill check my ground my fuse under the hood and voltage of the bats and at the amp and post that. really thanks again for the help its greatly appreciated.

So I pulled it out today.. not good i cant find anything wrong with the box or ne of the subs, all the subs ohm out good so i havnt lost a coil but when the volume goes up it sounds VERY BAD like the subs are blown or playing free air or something idk! I pulled the remote wire what can i do? and the amp whines a lil when i start the car, the ground is all good im out of idears plz help "anyway i was wankin' on my way to work as usual and i turned it down a bit at the stop light. when turning it back up it sounded very different to the ear. at least enuff to be like wtf??!? i tested all the speaker wires and each sub comes out to 2ohm, and i cant notice anything out of wak with the box ie:. broken panel/ collapse or and thing wrong with ne of the subs." ps-i know i started a new thread about something tht i had already posted but the title of my post didnt really shed light on my problem at hand. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...mp;#entry682907
