tez4life Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looks great, I was planning on buying some Atlas 12s back in early 2006, but AA had already switched to the new line at that time, so ended up with the Assassins. The Atlas were sexy subs though, and your install looks great man. Nice so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackedout Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I bet it sounds fantastic. Looks like you could put bodies in that trunk though... What made you go IB instead of ported? Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebadmonte Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks guys. I like the way it sounds. I've yet to have it metered so I don't have anything official to go off of as a reference. There's plenty of bass and it goes low which is what I like the most. As for why I went IB, trunk space. This was the wife's car when I did the install and was the car we would drive to El Paso for the holidays to see family. She was explicit in not wanting a big ol'box taking up the truck. I took that as a challenge for big bass without the box. When I studied up on IB setups and learned how low the power requirements were it got even better. Big bass, cheap low power amps, and a stock electrical. Get this, I bought these amps refurbished from Audioclinic on ebay for $85 each, shipped. True story. JDirty96, did you ever have your Memphis setup metered? How loud did it get? Stay tuned for some vids.

BanginOnABudget Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 love the build. looks like something i would do, but at 4x my budget lol. im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!! Flared port kits coming soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGTSKIP Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Great job..... on the budget, you need to work for Obama My only add would be to clean up/hide the wires, paint... even rattle can. I showed this to my Wifey, and the asked "Can you put just one speaker, so I can still fold the seat down" split seats... Im glassing a 12" into the side of her trunk and she is all freaked out about it. Steven Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, J/K. Oh no let the flaming begin. Hehe I do need to do something about the wires. I'm all thumbs when it comes to cleaning up the wiring. I was thinking about carpeting the backside of the baffle. Maybe the can will do for now. We'll see what tomorrow holds.
