dangaranga Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So I met up with Pioneerforlife on friday and decided to throw his spl labs meter in the truck to see what it could do. Sealed on the dash the best it could muster up was about a 142.1 @42hz but I've known it wouldn't do well on the meter as it falls on its face sealed up, we didn't really spend a whole lot of time trying to squeeze all its got sealed up since that's not how i play and demo it. So we ended up rolling the drivers window down and playing around with different songs and found it peaked at 143 and 41 hz, and the next lowest peak was a 142.7 at 27 hz which I was kinda surprised at the decent bandwidth on the meter. Everything was done on music and not burps, also we didn't really go through and find the cabins peak resonance. Also for ease of reading, the system consists of: 2 C2 audio Team 1k 12's 3.8ish cu ft net box tuned to 31 hz with about 12.5 in/cu ft of port Juicebox G31 and a bank of maxwell ultracaps American Bass vfl 120.1 @.25 ohm at the time of metering Now I'm not into chasing numbers or competing, but, any tips to gain a little on the meter? I'm hoping to remeter this weekend if he is available.

dangaranga Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Figured I'd update this, even though there's no love for the little guy but w/e lol Remetered last weekend when pioneerforlife came by with his meter. With drivers window down like last time, got a 144.4 db out of it. Then metered it outlaw style and got a 146.4 db @40 hz and 146.0 @30 hz. eventually i will build a new box tuned higher, as the truck wants to peak in the mid-40hz range and the box now is tuned to 30hz and I am fighting myself both with the score and leaving a little on the table on the higher notes.

Kyblack76 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 and now you see why LEGAL scores, are looked at. A high peak, and or some OPEN stuff, or KICK this and that is very respectable. That said, .. do a sealed head rest run.. have fun. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangaranga Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I know damn well the sealed score my truck doesn't meter for shit lol hence the wanting to rebuild, try to get that sealed score up. I am not 100% in it for the numbers, more for the demoing which is why the window down metering but oh well. I knew from the get go sealed up is gonna suck in that truck. I am really debating a 4th order blowthrough next summer with 4 12s, I like having a wide bandwidth. I don't like being stuck to a small range of freq. But my box skills leave some to be desired, but I am learning through trial and error and hope to get better with each build. This box now, has the port facing towards the drivers side and subs forward, and there are no 45's or round over's anywhere. I threw it together in like 5-6 hours total lol Next one I will take my time and build it right. I am thinking subs and port up towards the roof Brandon 2000 Furd Ranger supercab 4x4 System: welding wire throughout the truck USalts 390amp Hairpin Juicebox in stock location 8 Banks of maxwell supercaps 2 American Bass Vfl 1100.1 wired to .35 each 2 Fi Audio Sp4 18's ( the DD sc 9918's smoked) Pioneer radio with Soundstream PA mids Powered by a nice sized soundstream 2 channel It's pronounced (dain-ja rain-ja) 2001 2 door focus 1 DD9918 SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa-pa-platypus Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 lemme see your box This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangaranga Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The box is currently rotated 90 degrees to the right from the orientation in this pic.

pa-pa-platypus Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 might give subs firing up and ported towards the passenger side a try.. works relatively well for a 2 12's setup in trucks This isn't teeball.

dangaranga Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yea, I'm gonna just keep trying different things. You never know unless you try right? Can't learn unless you make mistakes is my philosophy, good old trial and error. I think I may go back to the box orientation of the first pic and remeter before building new, it sounded better that way, plus now I am running a lot more power than I was originally.

pioneerforlife Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ya try the subs up and port towards passenger side. I have seen trucks with 2 12's pull 53's with it that way.
