Bakerman Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 Don't you love it when a project comes together like you planned? Everything is smooth, flush, and fits like it should? Yeah, so do I. So much so, I just wanted to share the newest project on my list. The wife asked for a little bump in her ride. I scored a Skar VD-8 off of FB Market Place. Built a sealed enclosure, and a small amp rack. Long story short, thought the sub was bad due to a strange noise. Ordered two more (because it was financially smarter to order a two pack) with the idea to replace the busted one. Turns out the sub wasn't bad, but not only was the box a shitty design, but more importantly the LOC was absolute shit! Lesson learned, don't use those cheap amazon LOC units. I've ordered a proper Audio Control LC2i. Also I didn't realize it at the time, but I had a small air gap under the speaker and the baffle because the websites specs weren't correct. So now I have three subs. And we all know that subs are like guns...when there is just one extra part, you have to buy the rest. So I went out, got a couple more sheets of mdf, ordered a 1200w amp, and got to building. I have done the proper research on this new box, and I am ditching the sealed box all together. Never had much luck with those anyways. Without looking at my spec sheet, this box is about 3 cu/ft gross volume, and I will be tuning it around 36hz. I am using aero ports so that I can adjust the tuning if I don't like it. Needless to say, I am taking my damn time putting this thing together. And buddy is it paying off. Everything is fitting perfectly, and so flush. Just had to share it.
