wonderboy Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I just got this beast in the mail, and I was kind of disappointed when I realized it did not come with a manual or any spec sheets. I'm building a ported box to fit in my 01 Eclipse and need the parameters to design the box on WinISD. I've found varying numbers online and looked everywhere for something legit, and MA isnt returning any emails. It could just be because of the holiday but I'm anxious to start on this build! Any help, suggestions, or tips on this box would be great. Thanks Quote '01 Eclipse GT Obsidian Audio 12's Hifonics BRZ1700.1d XS D3400 'Big 3' My car hates me.

STEvil Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 just build a fairly large ported box.. all of the specs are pretty much junk. What did you pay for that 15 and does it have the same motor as the HK18x1's? I'm trying to find a 4th motor to match my other 3 18's that I already have.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

There was a guy that had 4 in a wall in a truck on here doin 50's. Just search and you will find what your looking for. Telling you most guy want give you no love on MA. There are some very helpful people that will help also. Maybe one of those guys will chime in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderboy Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I got it for $220 from sonic. I'm not sure if the motors are the same, I honestly didn't even know they made a HK18. Everything I've found online so far says that I'm going to need a 5 cu ft box, but that seems pretty big. Would I be alright with a 4 - 4.5 cu ft box tuned to around 34 hz? I'm going to start digging around a little and see if I can't find any good info. I know its there, I just gotta find it. haha link me uppp. Quote '01 Eclipse GT Obsidian Audio 12's Hifonics BRZ1700.1d XS D3400 'Big 3' My car hates me.

STEvil Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 depends what you have for power. They love big boxes and eat up power. You might want to add a spider hold-down as they can reach maximum excursion levels and lift a spider ring.. at least my HK18's managed to lol Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..."

wonderboy Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was planning on running a SoundStorm EV5000D at 1 ohm, but still looking. I have about a $250 budget. Any suggestions?
