Miles Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just did this little install at the beginning of this week. Only took a couple of days, but the finished product is better than i expected. Equipment: Subs: 5 JBL Power Series 12's Amps: 2 Kicker IX1000.1's (wired to 1.78 ohms each) A little back story. So, when i received the truck all looked good. Come to find out 3 of the subs are D4's and the other 2 are D2's. After doing something thinking, i have the power evening distributed to the 5 subs with some tricky wiring. Didn't know if it would work, but finished product is very loud and clean, and all the subs load the same. Box is 12 cubes with 170 sq. in. of port tuned to 33 hz. Smashes the lows but has a fairly flat response. I know some of you will question the single baffle, but with the 3 2x4 braces inside, the baffle doesn't flex a mm. With a little tuning, the ear-o-meter is guessing a 146-147. Not bad for ~1600 and 5 entry level subs. Second time building a wall and i think i covered everything, but if any of you have any other comments i'd really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMusick Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Are the amps staying where you have them or is this not finished? Any vids of it playing?

Miles Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 At the time the last picture was taken the amps weren't mounted. They are now mounted to the side of the box behind the trim panel, so it's all smooth and clean. Have only taken a crappy cell phone video, but will be getting video of it more this weekend. Customer lives about 30 minutes from me so can't get a video for another few days. Haha. And the 2x4 braces were reinforced with fiberglass, and so were the inside corners of the box. No box flex at all. This setup has torn up the fiberglass work that was done to fit a double din in the dash so that will need fixed sometime.
