chad y Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 I picked up some more materials tonight. I still have to glue and put in some bracing, I think I am going to bedliner the entire outside. hopefully the weather cooperates and I'll be making the cut soon.

chad y Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 I got the enclosure all together. But before I cut the hole I wanted to hear it. so I put the enclosure in where the back seat normally is. I hooked it up to the PG 1200.1 @ 4 ohms As I started to listen to it I felt it was missing the lower notes. I checked all the settings and turned it up and down, played with the X-over and subsonic. I still was very un-impressed. I checked out several bass heavy songs and it was just lacking. Then! While listening to it my song opened the drivers door. WOW what a difference!!!! All of the notes were present and the truck was shaking like mad. Shut the door and back to very dull. Now I know doors open are always a little louder, but this is unbelievable. Did I mess up the box? Any Idea's?

Sanitarium Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 it will act different in the blowthrough position and should be louder due to lack of standing backwaves. ALso... why the crap did you use particle board? do you like your work being turned into sawdust?

chad y Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 There is a 3 week wait on MDF or birch, this was just a test box so I didn't want to wait. I love the T-line with the door open, however all sealed up it's lacking detail, and depth and output. I may try the 18 in this enclosure. a little tweeking and it will be a 5.5 ft^3 with 84" of port tuned to 30hz. IDK, i'll see what happens tomorrow. chad 07 Dodge Ram 2500 Quadcab Alpine 9885, Sundown SAX 100.4, updating components soon, TC Sounds 3000 dvc 2, 3.1 ft^3 tuned to 31Hz, Sundown SAZ 3000, 4 ought power and ground, 2 Deep cycle batts.
chad y Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 So I was very disappointed with how this sounded and decided to take a little time to listen to several different cd's. Results! 99% of the problem was the cd she had in! It had alot of different songs that she always listens to however I didn't realize how low the quality of the cd was. As I listened to several other cd's, Radio and MP3's I was extremely impressed. The detail and the low-lows were back and it was able to get impressively loud.(now this is by no means a SQ setup. But it sounds good) On the very low notes now it flex's the back window so bad that the latch unlatched. For a single 12 I was impressed just how loud it got. True test! I had the wife listen to it and you couldn't of slapped the smile off her face!! Now she is impatient to get this finished. But I still have alot of work to do. 1.Glass the kicks 2.Run all the new power,grounds,rca's, speaker wire to doors and kicks. 3.Install amps 4.Sound Deadening 5.Cut hole in cab and box (install boot) 6.Rebuild enclosure out of birch(bedliner entire enclosure) 7.Bed cover So pending work and weather will determine how fast this all happens.
