AaronT Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks, I'll need it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted September 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Finishing up tomorrow. Got all interior back in, floors deadened, quarters, door skins. Got the big holes in doors covered with ⅛" abs, heat gun formed to contours, butyl rope gasketed, and rivet but every 3 inches . Going to lay the deadener over top tomorrow, get terminals soldered up for tweeters and 6.5" woofers. I'm making all speaker connections at amps with 10g ec5 connectors to make rack quick disconnect in the event I need the space for a big item.

AaronT Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Okay install complete. One issue popped up, haven't had a chance to hook up tweeters as when I was setting amp gains I noticed I was not getting any voltage from rear outputs of the t400-4. It got sent to Rockford certified repair guys in Illinois, and will be back here this week. I have been just listening to it with no frequency above 3.15k. just sub and mids. The mid bass is as punchy and tight just as I hoped. But I don't really care for the Sundown sd3-8. It's not a good match in this setup. I ordered a Rockford p2 8 and also a Alpine type r 8. Both from Amazon. I'm going to try both out for a few days and return the one I like least But I'm stuck with the sundown as I'm not paying shipping to send it back (non Amazon purchase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Send me the 8 depending on what vc in has. I can use it. and I think you're doing something wrong. The sundown is way better than the rockford ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use 3" of spacers to fit it in the factory enclosure, and I feel the spacers are choking the subs airspace. Imagine it in a 7⅜ diameter mdf tube that stops about 2 inches from bottom of sub. There's only about a ¼" gap on either side of magnet and it gets tighter up towards the basket. The spider back sees a bit if clearance but above the spider the rings are tight, I'm thinking it's not seeing air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spider landing back is seeing the airspace, not the cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 It's just an odd shape of basket being Soo beefy and wide the mdf spacers are tight to the basket and there is no taper until just before the spider landings. There like an, at most ⅛ inch gap that cone is open to the rest of the enclosure. A normal shaped sub would taper sooner and get that cone exposed to the airspace more effectively. And even require only 1.5" of spacers. There's an odd shape to the box that the magnet hit that forced me to space it more or try to reform that area with a heat gun. The enclosure is ½" abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
