7jezuz7 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I wish someone would throw some real power (not saying you're not) at one of these. I'd like to see how it handled about 1.5k on a single sub. It's rated at 400 rms like the rest of the line, but has a 3" coil, it also claims 28mm of xmax, not sure if that's one way or not, but i really want to see one of these take a beating. But all in all you've got a good build going, keep it up! I know, I'd like to see someone else do it too... but I will give the sub all the 1200 can put out in due time, I'm gonna let the suspension loosen a bit before I give it any more power. I did the best I could setting the gain with my DMM to a little over 400 watts and it sounds nice. I will go back maybe in about 2 weeks or so and raise it a bit more until I get to the rated 900 watts Hifoncs claims, given it doesn't sound horrible and I have to back down the gain. I will tell you though that it's begging for more power. I know it has more potential in it. Should probably gotten a dual 2 coil config. to have more power to play with.

7jezuz7 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nice build so far, looks like it's pounding really hard with that 18' Well maybe it's just me but I do feel that It's definitely louder than any setup I've had before.

I'd like to see how they do with the power you'll be giving them! An Audio Technix 18" Strato on a Kicker KX120.2 My Youtube Bass Vids Updates When Possible...

7jezuz7 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Sorry for the double post, but @iKidwell, this video is a bit more meh but there is a bit of sub excursion towards the end of the video.

Quiet Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hey I'm not knocking your setup at all, so don't take it like that, but have you tried sub facing rear? I've had a couple setups in my trunk and it always sounded best facing rear. I had 2 JL 10w1s and facing forward sounded like ass, but flip 'em 180° and it was like night and day. I do have to say sub up/port rear isn't too shabby either. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say sub up/port rear isn't too shabby either. Not taken in a negative way at all, I have not attempted facing this to the rear. I have no doubt that it will get louder, all my previous setups were much smaller boxes and were so much easier to face backwards and was louder that way. But just in my opinion, I'd sacrifice that extra loudness to reduce the trunk rattles and whatnot that vibrated back every time. Also, this does not sound like ass facing forward so I am satisfied with it. It get loud and sounds good. I will also not deaden this trunk or spend too much time reducing rattles as I don't see myself having this car past mid year. Didn't do sub up, port rear for similar reasons and the fact that... that type of box at least doesn't have the option of facing front or rear. But you know, for your pleasure and mine of course (as I'm curious) if I have the time this weekend and the weather is nice I'll disassemble the box and face it to the rear.

iKidwell Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah that video showed a little more, still looks like its barely moving, and i'm not sure if that's your camera or what, but i wanna see that thing "excurt" in the wise words of dr subwoofer. c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the camera waters it down a bit, there is a bit more excursion. The problem is how low lit the area is and the fact that I'm using an iPod touch to record the videos which is the best device I have at the moment for capturing video. I need to find something better to record my videos with. In the mean time i'll play around with angles/lighting/something or other and try to get some nicer footage!
