dsmbasshead Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I recently sold my little JBL/RF 2 10's setup and aquired a Digital Designs 3515 from a buddy. After many attempts at the RE L port Calculator and the help of people on several forums, we finalized the box design and commenced with building. The box is 4.339 cubes(without displacement) and is tuned to 35 hz. People on here suggested the Audiopipe AP1800D so I ordered one aswell as a dbLINKS 0 guage kit and 3.5 Farad Capacitor. I know dbLINKS isn't the best but I figured I didnt need a full 0 guage kit so if it was undersized, it was ok. All the equipment should be here by tomorrow and the install will be complete by Sunday at the latest. An Optima Yellowtop should be coming with the next paycheck and I plan to rebuild the alternator at some point, but until then I will rely on storage rather than charging. Feel free to comment honestly but please be constructive. THANKS! SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Finalized design P.S. We will be doing a vanity cover so you wont see the box, only the sub and port. The Sub The Amp The car its going in.

6berry Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 even though you already built the box i would double check it in torres to make sure everythings correct because the RE calculator is known to be off by a little bit. also, i would recommend you get rid of the capacitor as they do more harm than help. the car looks good though! cant wait to see this build come along.

spl4life Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 do your research on this site about caps...and you be the judge... from what ive learned here... 2nd battery is 1000x better... caps will pull power almost as fast as it releases it... if you dont have the battery bank to support it, its jus extra strain on you system. IMO caps are not necessary for anything under 5k rms... My first truck...

dsmbasshead Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 So no cap is better than a cap? I plan on doing a second bat and upgrated although soon but the cap was to get me from then and til now. From what I researched a bat is better than a cap, I get that, but can a cap cause harm? 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS N/A 420A MTX DD 3515 Build Coming Soon! 1 Corinthians 10:31 whatthefitment.com My Cardomain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTxBeeR Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 A cap, and a battery, are around the same price, so you might as well get another battery. All a cap does is store energy, so once its drained, it will start stressing your electrical which can cause your amps to recieve low voltage and from that give out a clipped signal to your subs On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.
