knowledge Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 dope REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

Captain Stupid Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for the compliments guys. Just picked up a Fosgate T1500bdCP (for now) at my local car audio shop today so I can get this thing up and running tomorrow. The plan is still a T2500, but this amp will have to do until I can upgrade the battery and alternator. And I'm thinking of maybe going with two T1500 so I can have them both running at 2ohms instead of one T2500 at 1 ohm? Decisions, decisions. Anyway, hopefully should have a video of the system playing up on YouTube tomorrow and maybe even an SPL score if the local car audio shop where I got my gear doesn't mind letting me play around a bit. I don't think they have a termlab, but something is better than nothing. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterJohnson Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 this looks like a ton of fun and came out pretty nice. I would have enjoyed helping you with this project as carbon fiber is hard as HELL to use without vacuums.

Pro7 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 How are you running the speaker wires through the box? Just wondering I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conceptM Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, this came out really nice and flat, especially considering the base wasn't too straight (due to the multiple layers). I really hope the box is to your taste, the looks are good in any case! Big thumbs up! I guess what everybody wanted to tell you was: send me the carbon used for strengthening (HINT: it's even possible to send across the ocean), and I'll send you glassfibre. Well whatever, I do understand it wouldn't have been the same thought for you... a box reinforced with carbon fibre Oh, and thanks for the pictures of the finished box! And probably nothing new to you, but I've heard CF is a perfect conductor... watch out with the connections!

Captain Stupid Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 this looks like a ton of fun and came out pretty nice. I would have enjoyed helping you with this project as carbon fiber is hard as HELL to use without vacuums. Actually it's easier to lay without the vacuum bagging process, you just end up using way more resin and it's more difficult to get a smooth, even finish. How are you running the speaker wires through the box? Just wondering Thanks to the conductivity of CF, I could not install uninsulated posts in the wall of the box. Since I didn't have any insulated posts, I decided to do it old school. I simply drilled a 1/2" hole and ran the speaker wire through it. Then I added a glob of resin around the hole to seal it off. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
