dereileak Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Try taping your amp crossovers so they won't move. Same thing happened to my buddies 2500s. yea I did that for the gains on the eq, some electrical tape, but I am going to have to spring mount it to the celing, cause a direct mount like it is is going to destroy them, they are moving easily .5inches to 1 inch from the flex, and its beating the shit out of them, so if I put some springs in there, it should help dampen the hard hits from them 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereileak Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 So Kicker Sent me a new crossover, and I decided to mount them with some shock absorbtion, since the ceiling was flexing so bad that it was beating the shit out of the eq and crossover. it works perfect btw, the eq and crossover just float while the bass hits, the springs keep them centered without any extra vibration, and it takes all the energy out. I will get a video up soon of it working. This should also help with them overheating in the summer with the extra space between the ceiling, since it gets really hot in this car with all the deadening. I plan to build a fiberglass piece to cover them and put fans in them that may run 24/7, with a very low amperage pull, just to keep them from getting hot, at least in the summer ALSO: I shortened the 1/0 gauge run of wire to the back by 4.25 ft, so my voltage should hold better, this cold weather is giving me shitty voltage on high volume, but when its 32+ degrees it holds well in the 13-14's, and at the lowest the 12's, in this cold weather though it drops to the 11's :/ I rerouted it in the engine bay and had some extra in the rear, so ended up with a nice solid piece of cable I can use for something now Old Pictures (Directly Mounted to MDF): New Pictures: 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dereileak Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 How are you liking the box so far? I'm thinking about building one for my mazda 3, and going with sa12's as well. I love the box, I would probably go just a tad bigger on cubes, around 3.5-3.75, it hits hard, but the subs want more power to get to there full xmax, but I am still breaking them in 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isortek Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 More Porn!! So... I am going to base my build off of yours a bit. Those box plans are golden. I went with a SAZ-2500D for my amp, and have one SA-12 on the way. Ran out of money, have to get #2 later. Building my amp rack this weekend. I have to keep my spare tire, I like the recessed battery though.Thanks for all the help just by posting all your work, its invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
