if chicken dont want the caddy you could always send it my way

x2 to that. I'll take the damn thing off your hands. Don't even worry about the paint or rims. I'll take it as-is. Hell, I'll drive all the way to Cali to pick it up and drive it back. Although it'd probably cost more in gas to drive the thing back here than all the equipment is worth. Well, probably not, but it'd still be an excessive amount. I don't even want to try and estimate what that thing gets for gas mileage. That's not what it's about though. It's about the SPL, not the MPG. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif

thats funny that you guys think that chicken just doesn't want it back or that Steve wouldn't keep it himself if chicken was "giving it away" since he did create the damn thing.

back on topic though how are things coming in that brain of yours Steve you got some stuff planned out?

Oh, I'm not saying at all that Chicken doesn't want it or Steve wouldn't keep it. I was joking. I was hoping people would pick up on that. 'twas sarcasm.

Anyway, from what I've gathered, you're NOT building a new box? At least not yet? I love the old one, and I think it's everything you're gonna want or need in a box, so keep it. No sense fixing something that isn't broken, right? It's got the wiring in the back for quick hookups and changes, it's got the removable/expandable port (30hz to 50hz I believe?), and you already know it pounds. I think the new amps are just gonna show you that it's the one thing you'll be glad you kept. Also, are the subs being replaced? I believe I read that you were gonna keep them. Not even gonna re-cone them. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one. The only reason I can see for you building a new box is the space limitations because of the new amps and three extra batteries. If it's not all gonna fit in there on the first go, it'll probably have to be redesigned. If you're thinking about this, have you considered placing the subs closer together? I know that the two on each side are nearly touching, but there's about a foot-wide gap between them laterally that you could close in on. I know the box is never coming above those back seats, but if you bring the subs in closer to the middle, could you then bring in the bottom edges (near the wheel wells) up and in, basically inverting the edges and making room to put batteries or amps on the sides. I know you want the amps in a place where you can get to them easily, so maybe just batteries on the sides. You wouldn't even have to invert the whole edge, just part of it. I'll try to make a crude model in SketchUp to try and show what I'm thinking. I know bringing the edges in would affect the volume of the box and the port would have to be altered, but that could all be figured out later. Don't take any of this as me saying I know what I'm talking about, because I don't have the faintest idea about box designing or anything. I'm just throwing out ideas here.

I'm sure you've already got an idea of what you're doing, but even if I'm wrong here, it's a learning experience for me. Comments and criticisms are welcome. Trying to learn as much as I can here, and I figure why not learn it from the masters themselves?

it kind of is broke in a sense that it is almost/if not 5 years old.

he is running out of spaces to drill screws in for his sub no meat left on the lip.

he doesn't compete anymore so no need for the removable port

it does pound but it will sound different with the SMD subs in it

I doubt that he would not recone them with 1,000+ more watts going to them when they are rated 4,000 less

he needs to have the subs spread out for proper airspace instead of them being fed off each other.

did I teach you anything? lol

[mr.p]

He will rebuild the enclosure, its a must, and with the drop down battery box he will have sufficient room for some 22's

i hope..

yer crazie...

LOL, J/k. I doubt he will got with 22's as they would require even more airspace.

[BEllithorpe04]

holy jesus, i cannot wait to see this happen....but it is a devastating feeling seeing that system be pulled out....do the normal Steve....massive work with amazing results

[cesarbernal]

i have other things to do first

allright man i hope everything comes out well...remmember take your time!! it will pay off in the end...

good luck on your new build!!
