osiris10012 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Posted February 2, 2014 Well I got bored and decided to tune the amp gain with a dmm. I know, I know it isn't anywhere near as accurate as an oscope or a dd-1, but considering I tuned it for less than half its rated there shouldn't be any issues. I used a 55hz -5 db track to tune it. On to the results. Wow what a difference compared to the factory oem amp. It sounds like I have a completely different sub. For a low end 10" this e10 sounds great. I plan to make a video when I get off work in the morning as long as the sun is up. lol. Sorry the weird alaska sun combined with working 3rd shift has me so lost with time I can't remember when it comes up. Plus it is constantly changing. Heck when I got here the sun never went down and it just recently started coming up. haha.
jmanjr82 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Good looking start! How do you like Alaska? If you already did a seat raise would it be to much to raise it a bit more to gain more area for the box while also keeping the back seat?
osiris10012 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Posted February 3, 2014 Well in all honesty I really don't like it up here, but I am trying to make the best of it. As for the seat lift yes I can go a little higher. The Problem is that the rear height barely changes. The front is what changes the most. This is what causes the issue. I have the height in the front but the rear height doesn't allow enough room for the larger motors when stepping up to the larger size woofers.
osiris10012 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Posted March 26, 2014 Hey everyone sorry for such a long wait on videos. I just got back home and took a couple videos. They were taken with my galaxy s4 and I have never used it to record so I appologize for the poor video recording skills. I also learned I can't record and play music at the same time so I had to use an older song I found laying around. lol. Overall I am very pleased with this sub and as soon as I upgrade my wiring and get some smd tuning tools I am sure it will perform better. Plus I am already planning to upgrade to either 2 sundown x8's or 2 sundown sa10's. I haven't decided yet. I think I have it pretty well turned for only having a dmm. The amp is currently turned down pretty low, but from the amount the sub is throwing I feel it is getting plenty of power. I don't have any distortion. If you hear any it is do to the phone mic. Well enough talk and here are a couple videos I took. Let me know what you think.

I absolutely love mine. I really like how your box fit. That is similar to my next idea. Just can't decide what I want to do. The way I see it is it will give me time to finish my exhaust while I make up my mind. lol. I have a problem with starting to many projects at once. Nice looking build, good job! Thanks man. I can't wait to build my next enclosure. I have learned a lot during this build.

I'm not sure if your aware bro but you can fit a lot under the rear seat. i did a lil mod to raise the seat a few inches using rubber boots and some washers I got from Home deopot. I got bout 12" from top to bottom and the seat still looked normal. 2010 Pathfinder Sundown Audio - SAZ 4500- Zv.3 15"x 2 w/ Nightshade coils Sundown Audio - SAX 100.4d- Focal Utopias 165w2 (fronts), rockford t1652 (rears) DC Power Engineering - 270XP Knukonceptz and Rockford 1/0 wire through out XS Power D3100s x2 and a "god ol" Optima Yellow Top up front

Worked great.
osiris10012 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 Well I got bored and decided to start building a new enclosure. I wanted to try a box that has the sub forward firing and the port firing towards the passenger side door. It is 1.25 cu ft net tuned to 38 hz. Here are some pics of it after 2 days of work. There is a lot more to do. The right side will mostly be blocked off to keep it at 1.25 cu ft.
