RedFred Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 so my ports got here today, and it was just one problem after another lol people always told me not to do L-bends in aeroports, and I wondered why. I saw that a 10" PVC bend cost around $49. So I got a $6 piece of duct instead. Then we started building the box, and the 10" would not fit, because our bend ended up being bigger than I calculated. We were determined to make it work and spent 4 hours trying all sorts of things. In the end, we gave up and called it a night, frustrated and sick of this entire project. tomorrow we'll be patching up the hole we cut for the 10", and just dropping in the 8" port which should (hopefully) fit with no unnecessary modifications.

YukonXL04 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Lol! Yea I'm using sch 20 I believe for my 2 6" ports. 2 45s and 2 4ft pieces of pipe were 40ish. And then made a jig to flare them. Anything bigger than that gets stupid expensive How in the heck would that box have enough airspace for 4 10s and a huge 10" port? 18 Sierra 6.2 Z71 : 3 F8L's, DD M2a @.67, 1.95@33 05 TL build log SOLD 04 YukonXL : jvc kw-v51bt , RE 6.5c, 4 jbl gt5 12s, Memphis pr1000.1 5.5 cu.ft. sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airspace was no issue, even with the 10" port @ 23" deep, it was still bigger than my liking. (4.86 cubes net) So you can imagine that with this 8" the box is gonna be huge? (5.28 cubes net). I'll probably finish building it today, spend an hour metering, then throw it all up for sale. Because... I just bought a Taramps 8k and 3 more G31 batts ?

RedFred Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 This box has been the worst pain in the ass I've ever had with car audio. So although the 8" port was much smaller, it was still too big to fit the damn flare on the inside It took about 2 hours of pop riveting, cutting duct, duct taping, removing, and retaping in order to get this thing to fit in there. And it is literally pressed into the box so hard. It actually doesn't look half bad, but I'm expecting it to sound like crap. Tomorrow I'll put it in, and then I have an 8 hour drive to Muncie, IN and back to get 4 Sundown X15s, and some batteries? should be some good playtime to break the two new subs in before I go full tilt metering them tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Got the subs put in, but I'm kinda babying them since 2 are brand new. I sold my last C318 basket and motor today, and the guy wanted a demo so I gave him one with the 10s. Definitely felt like less than a 145 lol. Maybe tomorrow I'll meter them. The rest of my day was spent traveling for these babies Anyone who knows me knows I generally hate Sundown, because I think their stuff is so overpriced, but I have always loved the look of the fluffy X series surround. The guy in Muncie had the batts and subs at prices that just couldn't be beat. So my C315s and S210s are all for sale, and I'm working on a box design for the 4 X15s on a Taramps 8k to start, and may grab another in the future since they're so cheap.
