skyhighcaraudio Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 this is F*cking awesome dude! i have 2 15" RE sx's in my 1998 dodge ram ext. cab. i wana run 4 15's but i dont wanna wall it and your box gave me an awesome idea lol, i dont have quite as much room.. but i should be able to do subs forwards and port up to fit 4 15's hopefully. cant wait to see this thing done! everythings sooo clean man well when i started designing this i really wanted 6 XL 15s but couldnt make them fit so i had to settle for 4 i think the port up should be the loudest in your truck (and any truck) because i had messed with a single sub set up in my truck and built like 5 boxes for it and port facing up was like a db louder on the meter so it was huge. what are the specs you need for those subs? air space wise? they want 4cubes per sub required by RE specs.. they just aren't quite loud enough for me now haha i broke my rear view first day i installed the 15s, my trucks flexing like crazy, so im gonna deaden it soon, get 2 more batteries, and probably sell my hifonics BRZ 2400 to get a .5 ohm stable amp.. push the re's and then go from there perhaps lol you might have a hard time getting 16 cubes after displacements in there. my box is 13.4 and it was fine to fit but then again i have a 4 door. maybe 3 would be a better idea (just my thoughts) cause after u get done with all the displacements and shit itll be up in the probably 18 cubes area...depending on your port size. i think i had about 1.7-2.0 of displacements. Getting another amp that is .5 ohm stable will cause you to have a ton more current draw and you have to make sure your electrical is up to par for it. i would suggest running a bigger amp at 1 ohm and playing it safe. i plan on getting 2 more 3.5ks then running them all at 1 ohm (not .5 like i have now) but didnt want to recone all the subs when i do get the other amps so i almost had no other choice but to run them at .5 ohm and i have a lot of electrical to back them up for safety at .5 ohm lol it makes me sleep better at night yeah man well my re's are D2 subs, so i dont think i can run them at 1 ohm. so i only have 2 ohms or .5 ohms to work with.. im running a hifonics brz2400.1D @ 2 ohms so there getting around 1700rms lol ok that makes sense lol or use both channels of the amp and run them in parallel to get 1 ohm Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighcaraudio Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The xls loved the aq wanted more but with more electrical it wouldve shined! but im switching it up a bit so i traded my aq to my boy gil here in reno, he has two strapped right now on a lvl5. Your name by chance wouldnt be jon right? yep. rusty told me. btw, how many of u reno guys would like to have a DC meet up at the shop on 9-11? (sorry, not tryin to thread jack.) id like to hear this tho... =] lol kind weird not gonna lie lol id be down to meet you guys out there..always down to hear some loud systems lol Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighcaraudio Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Alright I'm stealing the idea for those flush mount pieces for my own box - router, jasper jig, the usual suspects, or did you use more exotic techniques? The sponge paint thing is killer, it makes it look like marble or granite or something. the flush mount pieces were actually super easy lol i put the 2 baffles and the flush mount piece on top of each other and screwed them together. then figures out where i needed to put my subs to make them fit and drilled a whole in the middle. used the jasper jig and my router to cut the bottom 2 pieces at the mounting cutout (Actually smaller for a snugger fit) then cut the flush mount pieces out at 16" to leave 1/8" on each side of the subs so the pieces that were left over after cutting fit into the spaces that the subs dont take up. then finally i rounded all the edges and sponge painted them so match the accents in my truck also if you wanted a marble look you can do it but to do it on wood you would have to bondo and sand to make the surface completely flat then you can make it look exactly like marble..its kinda cool Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighcaraudio Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 So here is the space that i am working on covering..you can see why i really want to cover it...its super ugly This is the piece of wood that will go across the back with the lighted acrylic sign in the middle. This is the finished product with the sign in the middle...there are a bunch of LEDs on the amps and batts to lights the sign. Ill pull the truck in the garage later and shut the lights off and get some pics of it lighted up in the dark lol Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
