vital 7k per sub should get the job done

7k per sub, Jeebus!  Thanks for sharing the videos! 

That's quite the testing list, LOL

Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Definitely not doing a 7k per haha.  I'm probably going to look for a Crossfire 8k or similar surfboard to run all 4 subs.  Either that or two of the new Taramp MD 8ks at 1 ohm a piece.  They seem pretty decent.

go big or go home brah

You right

Well, I've just been making little bits of progress here and there. The subs and ports are pulled back out so I can finish the wall. I've done a decent amount of filling and sanding for screw holes and got the roundover screwed down. I used the 45'd 2x4 to give it some more strength and something solid to screw to from the back. I'll body work the PVC into the 2x4 to make a nice, smooth corner. Once I finish all the body work, I'll build a better bracket to hold the ends of the ports in place. I've been heavily considering an Orion HCCA 8k for a while, and of course, BigDWiz's dyno of their 3k pushed me over the edge; I'll probably be snagging one in the next month or two. I'll also be ordering electrical supplies when I get back from my honeymoon; we're currently enjoying the shit out of Iceland. But anyway, here's the pics:

Mids and highs wise, I'm considering doing something fun and different. It'll be on head unit power and will probably get pretty damn loud considering

[crazydoublekick]

After much deliberation, I've started ordering gear!

I've ordered:

150' welding 1/0 from wireandsupply.com

A shit load of 1/0 lugs

Heatshrink and battery terminals from Sky High

a Sony MEX-XB120BT and a couple RCAs from Sonic Electronix

An SPL Cartel mini-grenade bass knob in American flag finish

An Orion HCCA 8000.1D

A Winston 90ah lithium bank with passive balancing

 

At this point, everything but my alt/mids and highs are ordered.  Stay tuned for more often updates; I'm trying to get this playing in the next month.

I got a couple hours of filling/sanding done yesterday, and built a new, thicker port retaining bracket. I also made my final home depot run list for this build; I'm getting stooooked.

200 amp alternator from CES is ordered.  Everything else has arrived at my house!  I'm going to be cranking out some serious work on this thing over the next couple weeks.  I want to hear it on the 8k sooo badly.
