Working on the Sexplorer, 8 Massive 15s and TONS of mids/highs, re-building everything!

[fecupe2001]

I´ve built and tested over 50 boxes on this explorer since i bought it on 2010, i´ve had a lot of fun doing it, broke tons of records around here and also gave me the knowledge to design a lot of boxes for competitors and even world champions that also own the same awesome truck that i have, but, spending that amount of money, time and effort isn´t practical for me now, so, it´s time for me to build something loud ,low and fun in there without caring At ALL about numbers

Car: 1998 4 doors 2 gen Ford Explorer, she´s called the Sexplorer btw lol

Electrical: Mechman 270A alternator, XS Power D3100 on front, 4 northstar nsb 110ft on the back for the moment, 2 soundquest 0 GA cca runs for the moment, the plan is, to add 4-8 runs , a second alternator wich i already have at pipo sanchez home and 14v batteries in a few months.

Amplifier (subs): Loudforce 10K wired at 1 ohm for the moment, 2 10ks at .5 ohms in a few months

Amplifier (mids) : Soundigital 8K at 1 ohm

Amplifier (highs) : 2 loudforce lfa-1504s

Mids/highs: not sure yet, but tons of them

Subwoofers: 8 loudforce 8515s 750 watts 3" VC a piece for the moment, 8 9015s 3200 watts in a few months

Box: 4th order bandpass wall , 13 cubic feet sealed / 24 cubic feet ported, port area and tuning will be tested until i found what it works the best, mad props to Dave Leib (strongmandesigns on this forum) , coty eager, dylan kirby, scott bowman, zaim nayor, keith miller and jared gibson for all the inputs, without them, i wouldnt picked up my mind on what sizes i needed to use, i spent more than a week designing this box, wasnt easy at all, specially since i didn´t want to build a shell, wanted a box that i could slide in thru the hatch.

THE GOAL!!

Easy, want to be able to play a huge bandwith, and of course, play LOW as hell without loosing output on higher frequencies, since 4th order bandpasses tend to have 2 peaks, im trying to get a 23-27 hz peak and a 40-45 hz peak been the higher peak the strongest one, we´ll see!

I've followed your spl gains thread closely and I will be checking this one out as well. Tuned in man!

[fecupe2001]

haha aqui vienen las putas fotos

Anyways, tearing everything apart, last box i had in there was 4 loudforce 8515s on a loudforce 3K wired at .5 ohms on 3 batts, burped a 151 at 38 hz and played very nice.

Believe it or not, it was about 2 years since the last time i folded the seats up

thanks man, let´s just hope it doesn´t suck ass lol

[fecupe2001]

More of the tearing apart process lol

Look at all this room

Max dimensions i could go with a box slided is 33.5" height x 42.75" wide x 67" long and still leave some room for amps and a few small batteries like a pair of my northstar batts or a few xs power D1400s wich i´m planning to use in a few months when i have the money for that upgrade

Are u gonna write abit about the design process to make the system nice for a daily music setup in your vehicle too? (in relation to cabin gain etc?)
