gckless Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wasn't super fond of the color, but after poly it brightened up.

gckless Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Couple things. First up, box is done. Not going to stuff it I've decided. Going to try to get someone over here to help me drop it in this week. Next up, I pre-ordered SI's TM6.5. Should be solid, and I can use stock door panels without mods. Pretty sure I'm gonna stay with 2-way. http://stereointegrity.com/product/tm65-6-5-woofer/ For my amp situation, I am going to keep the Levi for now and get it fixed. I am going to wait for either @West's creations or new Ground Zero Hydrogen amps (http://www.ground-zero-audio.com/en/products/amplifiers_/gzha-2400xii.html and http://www.ground-zero-audio.com/en/products/amplifiers_/gzha-4200xii.html), or maybe figure something better out. Gonna stay with 2-way, but still need 100Wx2 at 4ohms and 150W+x2 at 8ohms, so it's tough to find in one four channel amp. Very open to options. I also plan on changing my substage. Thinking about a pair of nice 12's with PRs. I don't need to be as loud (I'm attributing mechanical vehicle problems to that too) and I will gain space back, which will allow me to throw my amps and everything in the rear. The CSS SDX12's really stand out to me right now, but again, open to options. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

gckless Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Levi is up for sale, SHD is up for sale, DC is going to be listed shortly. Going with Ground Zero amps, subs TBD. Bad pic, will probably get more tomorrow. Here is a 10-150Hz sweep, no LPF on sub: Here is pink noise, 63Hz LPF: Don't pay attention to overall SPL level in relation to one another, they weren't done at the same time.

db_speakerbox Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 So I see the RTA, but what do you like or don't like about it? How does it compare to ported? Stain came out real nice btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gckless Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 So I see the RTA, but what do you like or don't like about it? How does it compare to ported? Stain came out real nice btw. FR is pretty damn close to ported. I'm not super happy with the rolloff, I would like something a bit flatter across the bandwidth. It sounds much better though. Ear-o-meter says I lost ~3dB's, but it doesn't heat up like it used to. Sealed is very nice with this driver. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

Guest Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is the first time I have seen your build!! Great work! I wish I could do some of the things you achieved like making those nice apillars and that sexy custom box! Just out of curiousity, why are you selling the Leviathan? I would guess you are upgrading but to what? I mean, Zed is almost top of the line as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_speakerbox Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I see. Loading poly would lower Fb so that wouldn't help I dont think. To me it looks great, but everyone has their preference of what they like. I don't really listen to anything above 45hz so it suits me fine. If you cared, you could shrink down the volume and see if that raises Fb enough to level it out some. I know it is a heavy bish and wouldn't be fun to do a bunch of testing but since there aren't many built there isn't anything to go off of except playing around with it.
