It looks like that thing is 8' long? Not sure if that was an exact schematic you were suggesting, or just the general idea. Either way it looks a bit complex for me lol. Anyways, I've been accumulating some stuff, so now I've got 2 HDS212s, 2 HDS215s, and an HDC315 sitting around. My Spring Break is February 24th - March 5th, so expect another box build of some sort around that time. Not entirely sure if it'll be 6 12s, 4 15s, 2 15s, 2 18s, or 1 18 yet. It'll all just depend on what stuff I'm able to scoop up for a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1Fanatic Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 That's the patent pic. Play with Hornresp to see what dimensions work with your speaker. Plus, that long enclosure can be folded into a more square enclosure. It all depends on the width and depth you have to work with. An 8' × 2' enclosure can be folded into a 4' × 4' enclosure with horns or quarter waves. 2000 Toyota Solara SEV6, 200 amp alternator, Jensen VX7020, Hifonics American Warrior Taurus X, Hifonics American Warrior Centurion X, JBL Club 6500C, Power Acoustik XP2K-4102, Coustic Power Logic HT-612 in a BP4.

RedFred Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 So my alternator bracket didn't show up, and evidently the guy hasn't even shipped it. I'm starting to think it's a scam and I'm out $95, but we'll see. He's supposed to ship and send me tracking info on Monday. Then the guys who were supposed to buy my 2200's didn't show up either. I did meet up with some people to exchange demos and do some metering which was pretty fun. My vehicle is finally starting to feel the effects of "being loud" lol. Between being 18 years old, living in Michigan its whole life, and demo'ing often lately, the rear windshield wiper mount thing decided it had enough. After about 30 minutes of work we had it all patched back up though. It actually looks a lot better than I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Damn michigan dosent mess around with rust lol..Good build tho That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

I never even noticed that it was rusting back there, until I got done demo'ing for a friend and walked around to open the hatch and saw that the mount was pretty much falling off. Thanks ? Once I decide what route to go next I'll have a better plan under way. I think a 270a or 370a secondary alt is in my future, some dual 6.5" door pods, and some kick pods, and I still haven't decided on sub stage yet...

RedFred Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 As I've been telling Ty, I think I finally have some decisions made towards my next build. Spring Break is this coming weekend, and stuff will be under way. I have my dual alternator bracket at home (minus the harness, which the guy hasn't shipped yet?), and bought this Mechman 270A today. I also grabbed these SQ HDC318, D1s last weekend. They were in a tahoe sized box, so I had to borrow my dad's suburban and go drive about 3 hours round trip, but they look great. Pretty fresh recones. I have that AQ3500, but I really want all my stuff to match, so I'm going to run these new SQ 18s, and strap my two 2200s @ 1 ohm. (0.5 ohm per amp) My current box is 23.5" tall and 12.2 cubes net, so I think I'll build a new box around 21.5" tall and 11 cubes. Maybe with more space between the port and the roof it'll perform better. I'm still debating if I want to add more mids/highs. Kick panels seem like they would have the best staging, but I fear they'll be annoying and keep getting kicked by myself and passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1gggman1 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Yeah, I know what using tools for the first time is like... I've had to adapt to a new reality in that sense... 11 months ago I had a major stroke and I've been using all my free time wisely... Car audio! The wife hates the financial end but she can see the spark in my eye once again... I almost gave up at one point... I've had to relearn everything from walking to using a pencil... especially tools! My wife's 1997 blazer is currently in progress and I expect big things! I am an old school IASCA competitor who got away from the scene in 2000... but since has been bitten by that bug again... I'm sure I'll be chasin' numbers again at age 50 this time. I've tried to learn the video editor on you tube and I' still learning this site. Love those S-10 Blazers... Keep it up!

Glad to hear that you're getting back in the game. I love seeing the older crowd bring their experience into the mix, especially because all the old school builds seem more cool and professional to me. -------------------------------------------------------- While I build my new box, I picked up a real nice box that will fit an 18. It's 5.8 cubes, 120 square inches of port, kerfed, tuned @ 38hz. So I threw my HDC418 in there on an SQ2200 @ 0.5 and let a rip. I told Ty I thought it was around a 147 just from the old ear-o-meter, and these are what it actually did I got all my wood and cuts done from Home Depot today, so hopefully the box build will commence tomorrow.
