06' Mazda3 Hatchback - 4500RMS - New Springs (No More Sag)

[Hunters21w]

Yes sir. What do you think that additional layers are going to do besides strength?

In very high power situations I've see where people build baffles thick enough to where the sub is nearly completely surrounded by baffle (6-8"). This helps subs think that they're in their own enclosure and help with loading.

However you don't NEED that for this box. If it helps you get proper clearance then that's understandable though.

he said it help with spl, and should help project the bass in the box better, I just hope that the sub that is getting mounted over the port doesnt have issues, cause even though they are sharing the same air space, the other sub is more in an open cavity, but I think it should be fine, ill find out I guess

got the top on, but not pics yet, it is so damn heavy, just have to cut the sub holes, seal the inside with glue and sand in there and wrap it

[dereileak]

Finished the box, and I am in love with sundown

Took 45 minutes per hole to cut with that jigsaw, brand new blades

Test fitting on where to mount

[dereileak]

the Piece stuck out to far for the bolt to fit, so I cut it

Did direct leads, no bolts

[dereileak]

No one will be stealing this amp, you can lift the back of my car with it

Locking bolt, and a locking washer

[dereileak]

Gotta wrap these in that black mesh vinyl I did the amp holders in

So I am in love with sundown, they hit so hard, and its a very clean note, with no delay. My voltage is pretty good up to 33/38 volume, holds at 13.8 around, but once I push up past that, like ful tilt, 38/38, I hit down as low as 11.2 with the voltage, but it dips up and down, many times sticking at 12.3ish or so. I have the biggest alt I can get for my car, and this setup demands around 470 amps of power, on top of the car usage on full tilt, so I would say its doing pretty good. They lowest I dipped was 10.8, but that was after blasting it on full tilt for awhile

To Do:

Cover the Top baffle piece

Run another + 1/0 to the back

Run a - 1/0 gauge to the back

Get a clamp meter to test output

Use the deadener I won in the doors for upped sound quality

Super Glaze the inside of the box Come summer for a harder surface, better airflow

Overall my build sound wise is done, the bass is shaking the EQ and Crossover so much that it is changing the levels for the gains on them, so I may devise a way to spring mount them so they don't get as much shock and get destroyed

[dereileak]

Had to send in my Crossover to kicker, something was wrong with it, it was sending weird voltages to the sub amp and leaking in a lot of noise, so will be without music for a week
