Macfadyen732 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Just got the 15" yesterday, bought a prefab box just to get it playing. Problem currently is it doesnt fit in the trunk, its currently in the back seat of the car. Need some help with building the box, have an idea of how its going to be layed out. but need help with the tuning aspect. The idea is to have it some what like steves box, but way smaller and slight differences. i want the port to be the same style (not removable, want the port back and sub forward, ill have some scetchs up later, along with dimentions. Just wanted to start the topic now and see if anyone could help with a render and what not. Tuning: what it to be between 35-40 havent decided on a exact number yet. will come with the schetch.

Macfadyen732 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 ok so we decided on what we are doing. finally starting on it tomorrow morning. went to lowes and got all our materials. using doubled up 3/4 mdf. around 4 cubes and tuned to 35. decided against port back due to space issues.

Macfadyen732 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 it may have come wired at 4ohm, my correction... i have had mixed reviews with it being able to handle 2600 rms. so i wanted to play it safe. if people here have had experiance with them and it will be safe then ill deffently wire it for 1 ohm Quote 2009 Hyundai Accent GL Alpine CDA 9884 Rockford Fosgate Wire Rockford Fosgate 501bd Soundstream 12 Reference Hifonics Zeus ZXI 6410 Rockford Fosgate T1652 Rockford Fosgate T152 XBL: NW Livin Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4killer_ Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 im sure you know already, but it looks like its kinda close make sure that box dont slide back none, your surround slapping against tht amp isnt going to be good... p4killer Quote Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macfadyen732 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 yeah i know already, havent had an issue with it sliding yet. we are going to make brackets to hold it back away from the amps. As for having it at 1400 rms, its fine the way it is. its wired for 1 ohm (2600). its handling it like a champ. the gain is set half way. its not getting hot or anything. untill there is a problem with it heating up 2 much were not going to change it.
