ill grab ya a pic of mine.. one min


i cant remember the size of the fuse i put in that.. but thats what i did for mine

Thats cool how you mounted it like that. Thanks for the pics man, so you didnt use a distributor block on your battery? If I have the knobs like yours I wont have to buy one?

since your battery has the top posts on it, you can do the same as me and go to autozone and spend 3 bucks for the top post connector thing. i have my Hids, electric fans and such hooked up to the top ones. I think the hid and fan wires look corny, but itll do for now until i get better looks distributors

Well here's a box I'm making for my friend, but I might keep it and just get 2 subs instead of 3 if I like it. This is the first box I've made, but it came out pretty good. I used that RE box calculator for the diminsions of the box and cut it up with my dads table saw. Its still under construction, cause I just did it today. I gotta glue, caulk, and cut the sub holes still, but here it is... what you guys think?


**There is another piece that splits the ports that isnt shown

Unfortunately, even though you may have the proper cross-sectional area for the port, it looks like it's too much of a "slot". Where it looks like you may have about 2" by 14" for the port, you'll get a lot of port noise - ideally, something like 4" by 7" would be better, AND you've got some sharp 90 degree angles in there. Without some 45 degree bends and/or curves in there, you're going to have a LOT of turbulence if you use any kind of subs with a long excursion and lots of power.

I was going to put angles on the corners, and what does port noise sound like?
**edit, you were pretty close its actually 1.5 x 14, so if I made it 7 by 3 it would stop the box from producing port noise?

Got the holes cut, glued, and caulked. I need to throw in the corner pieces tomorrow, and then pretty much done excpet for all the fancy stuff (carpet and wire terminals)

Not the best box, but hey it was my first one. hope it doesnt sound toooo to bad.

Just installed my friends system, and its real loud! He got 2 12" CVXs for christmas and this BOSS audio amp DD3600 i think. The box I made sounds pretty good, and I'll post up a video after I get off work. He's at 1500 watts RMS with the subs, and I don't know how to set up an amplifier correctly so hes getting that done right now. So tonight I'll have a video of him bumpin. Now I can finally start doing stuff for mine!

ahhh i hate sound system videos. its not like you can hear how hard it hits with computer speakers and a video camera to pick up the noise. its only good for making shit hop on your roof. lol
