Twostrokeking Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Here they are! I decided while I have the amp out and no RCA's I may as well re build this damn thing and get it sounding great. I went to the UPS store today and bought a huge bag of packing peanuts so I could check the volume of the new one as well as see what the old one was. I checked the volume and then subtracted the port volume and the sub displacement. After that I get 1.87^3 which is WAY bigger then what I wanted, I was shooting for 1.3^3. So things will get re done and be done right this time. The plan is to go to home depot tomorrow and get a piece of 3/4" MDF so I can start this thing ASAP. I am pretty damn excited. I am gonna 45 every corner in the box and make sure it is PERFECT. I ordered some RCA's from Knuconceptz last night and they should be here friday or saturday. Here are the pictures. The peanuts! Here is the box sitting on the cement. Ready torn down! Kinda sad! Took forever to build this shit haha. and here are the boys! They are gonna pound in this new box I hope! Okay those are the only pictures for now. SO for now I have a couple questions. In the new box, how is the best way to 45 the corners?? Do they take up enough space to even worry about it effecting tuning? Do you guys think that this new box at about 1.3^3 will sound better then the previous? I am contemplating going with a square or slot port instead of an aero. What do you guys think? Alright thats all until tomorrow!! Tomorrow my welding teacher is letting me leave school early for a job interview! Tryin to get on at Costco! I will be so stoked to have money! Really crossing my fingers on this one! Like I said tomorrow me and my buddy are gonna go buy the wood, taking him so I dont drop it and dent the truck.. mdf is heavy! Night guys!

thecityxignites Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 You could get clear bumper light housings and put some switch back LEDs in them. 2001 chevy cavalier Rebuild in progress what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2. well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette? i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........

cashone05 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 No RCA's??? Did i miss something? Best way to cut 45 degree angle would be on a table saw. And the angle does nothing as far as taking up any air space. Its the inside of the box dimension that counts. A 45 degree angle takes up the same space as a butt joint.

Well I had these cheap scoshe rca's from walmart and when I had the amp issues I unplugged them from the deck and the end came out of one, i pushed it back in and it made the sound distorted. So i ordered new ones. The 45s Im talking about go in each corner of the box like this.

Twostrokeking Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 MDF IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE ALONG WITH THE GLUE! Trying to figure out port right now. I wanted to do a slot but the contour of the floor makes it impossible so I am leaning towards an aero port again! As soon as I figure this out I will start cutting! You guys think it will sound better being the right volume?

You guys think it will sound better being the right volume? if you change your tuning you'll probably notice a difference, you also might be able to turn your gain up since you're getting more cone control of the sub, that is if the amp has more power left before clipping.
