oldsoundguy Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I went out today and took out the CT sounds 1400.1 and installed the CT sounds 2500. So I had the Soundqubed HDC 3 12 dual 1ohm sub wired to .5 ohms on the 1400.1 So I took it out and wired it to 2 ohms to run it off the 2500 just because .5 should be able to cook this sub. I was going to run the dual 2 ohm sub I have at 1 ohm but decided not to do it yet. I am going to run this one like it is for a bit then after I get the re cone for it I will throw it in and see if it can take it. To me the sub is a bit louder and cleaner off the 2500 @ 2 ohms. I like it. Cant wait to get the 1400 sold so I can get a re cone and materials to build a new box. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It'll sound even better/hit harder when reconed and wired in parallel. You're right tho, .5 ohm would prob cook that sub as it is now. Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ok so I sold my 1400.1 to a buddy of mine today so it's time to order a 're cone kit for my sub. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just got off the phone with soundqubed and I found out they don't make the 're cone for my sub yet. So they said they have an hdc 3 12dual 1 ohm that was a return open box that they will swap for my dual 2 ohm sub. Just pay shipping. So if it's less than 100 bucks total than good deal for me. Happy with their service so far. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well I got some cash from my buddy for the amp so now it's time to build a box. The dual 2ohm subwoofer is on its way to soundqubed for exchange for the dual 1ohm. I am going to build this box out of 3/4 13 ply baltic birch. I am going to the lumber yard tomorrow to checkout the selection . No not home depot or Lowes a real lumber store. Can't wait to get started. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsoundguy Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok after trying to find real birch 13 ply plywood I realized its either hard to find or damn expensive. So the new box will be made out of 3/4 MDF and I will kerf the port. Then I will figure out what I want to do with it as far as finish etc. I may get a sheet of 1/4' oak ply and go over the box with it just because I like the real wood look but I also like the textured paint they have out now. I will make that decision when I come to it. I think I will go pick up the MDF tomorrow. This time I am going to set up my 12'x12' pop up out in the driveway and do all my cuts out there. Got way way too much MDF dust on my Chevelle and all over the garage. Need to keep it clean this time. Also will be dusty with all the kerfing that will be done. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hey man, vids look good. Glad to see you finally got some pics and vids posted only took a few months and arm twisting. You'll want another set of comps to keep up with all that sub stage you'll have going on. Looks great and keep the pics and vids coming. Sorry i didnt shout out some love earlier but i just got back from Hawaii this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Its all good. Hope you had a great time in Hawaii. Yes I am going to start saving for another set of RE's but the price has gone up so I will have to wait till I get a deal. I went today and purchased the 3/4" MDF for my new box. Might be able to get started cutting all the pieces tomorrow and practice my kerfing. Still working on box design.
