kylecm85 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 thanks everyone, I cut the ring with a jigsaw free hand turned out pretty good. The lincoln lt is the truck they made the mark viii from 93 to 98. i had the sub in my car for about 4 months and it is a great sounding sub that gets pretty loud. should be more updates tonight. hopefully if i get a chance to work on it. 94 lincoln mark viii h/u: kenwood kvt 614 Excelon comps: alpine type x amps: mtx 1501d mtx 4004 sub:2 DC lv4 12 wiring jl audio 0awg 8 awg sub jl audio 4 awg for mid and highs amp myspace.com/kylecm85 carstereolexington.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicenterDesigns Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Looks like the port is too close to the wall. Maybe it is choking and that caused the lack of output you were expecting?

kylecm85 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 it was about an inch or so. It had alot of output it was just low and fell off to much and was not really what i was looking for. I was used to my other box that has alot more output and is alot stronger 1" face and sides just a better box all around. I am planing on getting another one in the nea future so i am going to end up building another box but the new one is just going to be mdf or birch. 94 lincoln mark viii h/u: kenwood kvt 614 Excelon comps: alpine type x amps: mtx 1501d mtx 4004 sub:2 DC lv4 12 wiring jl audio 0awg 8 awg sub jl audio 4 awg for mid and highs amp myspace.com/kylecm85 carstereolexington.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylecm85 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 yeah i can do that and yeah there were a couple in there i sanded them down and went over them with more glass. I might go back and try t strengthen it up some more. But time does not seem to be on my side these days. So it may be a little while. 94 lincoln mark viii h/u: kenwood kvt 614 Excelon comps: alpine type x amps: mtx 1501d mtx 4004 sub:2 DC lv4 12 wiring jl audio 0awg 8 awg sub jl audio 4 awg for mid and highs amp myspace.com/kylecm85 carstereolexington.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
