white_boi_audio Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 i was going to ask i mounted the amp on some 5/8 plywood strips so it wont be directly on the carpet so air can flow underneath it. do any of you guys think i could put like some leds under the amp so light glowed out from under it should i just leave it alone.; holla "MY RIDE" 1987 Chevy Cavalier Z24 2.8L V6 -- CB Radio with PA speaker Head Unit: 7 inch Jensen Flip-out -- Speakers: 4 Visonik 6 1/2s and 4 Visonik 6x9s Subwoofer: One Audiobahn 18 - Sub Amp: Power Acoustik OV1-2000d 2000 watt monoblock amp -- Battery in back - Kinetic HC600 -- Sub box: Custom built 5 cubic foot tuned to 30 hertz Coming soon: Bigger Highs Amp, Power inverter "WhItE bOi AuDiO" "FEAR THE DUCK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickerAudio21 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I think you should leave it alone..... Plywood boxes look crappy, so there's no point to using LED's cause it'd just look dumb BUT if you were to wrap that box in carpet or something, and get a nice carpeted floor to match (you may already have one), then it would look nice and then the LED's would be a great addition. MDF boxes can look awsome naked if they are sanded well and stuff, but to be honest, a box made out of plywood looks kinda crappy, so you should carpet it. I'm not trying to be negative at all, I'm just saying don't bother with the LED's until you clean up the rest of the install. I'm sure it pounds tho, and good job on building the box and mounting the amp there, it looks nice ------------------------------------------------- 1st place circuit city car/spl show (maplewood,MN) 2006 146.6 dB's with 2 12" L7 and 1606d brutus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the box? it 38 inches wide 11.5 high 14.5 deep and it is heavy as hell but i havent got to play the subs yet cause i punctured a hole through the surround and i need to get some rubber cement to fix it do you think that will take any performance out of that sub since the surround got torn even though you cant see it unless u get up real close "MY RIDE" 1987 Chevy Cavalier Z24 2.8L V6 -- CB Radio with PA speaker Head Unit: 7 inch Jensen Flip-out -- Speakers: 4 Visonik 6 1/2s and 4 Visonik 6x9s Subwoofer: One Audiobahn 18 - Sub Amp: Power Acoustik OV1-2000d 2000 watt monoblock amp -- Battery in back - Kinetic HC600 -- Sub box: Custom built 5 cubic foot tuned to 30 hertz Coming soon: Bigger Highs Amp, Power inverter "WhItE bOi AuDiO" "FEAR THE DUCK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and glue the backside as well. It won't look pretty when your done but it beats replacing one. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
