Clam Shell Or Blow Thru, That Is The Question.


Recommended Posts

Going to pick up 4 RF 15"s tomorrow! Off to a good start. Picked up engine today. What better to pull a bed full of equiptment than a 454bbc? Dunno what Im gonna power this thing w/yet though. Have the old(last) US AMPs builder as a friend so mabey...How long has the Sundown stuff been out? I have equipt/amps but my bud has some BIG chassis laying around.

Yea,I definitely know what "lows" are. My truck flexed enought to rip the roof open and tear both rear door jams about 4". Destroyed the circuit boards in both tail lights weekly,blew the whole center/tag area out of the rear hatch,cracked the gas tank seem open,broke the circuit board in my pioneer/nav unit...All in the first month. Nice way to "break in" a new truck. I will take the advice and tune lower this time. I know it is gonna sound different but is 35hz the # to shoot for w/ the enclosure? I understand that vehicle have different resonance/natural frequency levels. Like I said,this isnt a comp. rig,just a driver. :hairtrick:

Pics or :ban:

I just looked at ur build n it was great. Now I have a better idea how to approach mine. Im gonna epoxy/glass,brace,and screw every joint but what do u do at a joint u cannot screw? Does every one use liquid nail an just bond and brace the joints? More of a question for the 81 suburban Im gonna go full tilt on. I dont have any fancy box builder programs so I rely on the sub companys recommendation and the advice of u pro's to get the frequency right. Been real busy running errands for my fiance here in the hospital so I havent made the call to the sub builder but mabey tomorrow. Im still wondering how low to tune the box. I listen to all kinds of music and my TB didnt have any "dead" spots. Trying to shoot for the same here. Build picks will follow when weather/rain permits. Unless it starts raining money. Be nice to have "my own" garage. Is there a particular Hz (range) that does hair tricks best?

Thanks. I used so much Liquid Nails I should own part of the company. :) On the Joints I couldn't screw I put L brackets AND added another piece of wood in the corner and screwed that too. There were no places where wood just butts together without another piece in the joint. I didn't resin mine, but it seems plenty strong enough with 1" and lots of bracing. But the glass and resin sure can't hurt! :)
