That's nice, but all of the tech speak doesn't mean diddly to me. So you have 2 15s, 3600W of potential power, a high amp alt, and some capacitors.
Sounds like fun.

For the amp P800 watts- The deal did not go through for the amp. The person did not take out the fuse before he unhook the wire. I might just keep the existing p450 and pick up another p450.
A friend of my will be building the box. He is currently busy with repair on the house and will push back the build of the box to next week. Dimension of the box will be W = 36", H = 22", D = 26 or 28". ~6.5 cube ft after port and sub.
The roll of Dynamat just arrive. (2) Ultimate (B-Quiet) - 50 sq. ft.

What are you going to be tuning to?
Sound deadner is KEY, good job on atleast doing some.
Ive got over 175sq ft on RammMat BXT in my car, 3 layers on all doors, 2 on the floor, 2 on the roof. Its pretty quiet all things considerred
The btls are decent subs to, just VERy expensive for what you get, wel I guess you get a pretty logo and a nice sticker lol

Would love to hear how it actually sounds once completed. How do you plan to face the subs (up, forward, backward)? | Quote, originally posted by Black2003SE » |

| What's up Ganesh...how's the build coming along? I notice on your current setup you have the Kinetik HC 2400. Do you have this as an additional battery in the trunk or did you replace the stock battery with this? Also, did you do the Big 3 Upgrade? |
Hi,
I finally get the work on the vehicle today.
I am doing the Big 3 and installing the alternator.
I am using the HC2400 as the main battery. I will be purchasing a HC 3800 and use it as a secondary battery.
I will post some picture up later today or tomorrow.
So far i run into two problem: The guy to build my box is not available at the moment and i have not receive my second sub.

are you going to leave the subs facing up? will it sound better in that position?
I would be pissed about the white glue thing also, i mean its a black sub where is the sense in the white glue. I don't think any one would be pleased with that.

What happened to the sub that it needed to be reconed already? I sure wouldnt trust white glue, 5psi epoxy for sure if you intend on pushing theses subs at all
I tore out my substage today, going a big bigger myself!!

anyways with all the subs facing up, it got loud. very loud actually. If I were going to build another SUV with SPL in mind, I'd do it the same way. I'm going back home in 2 months, and I'll be there for 2 weeks, that should be just enough time for me to build up a system. when the time comes, I'll keep good notes, and I should be able to write some how too's with some of my tricks. I guess I can share some of them since I'm not in that line of business anymore.
Ganish - I think your going to have a very nice system when its all done. It seems like your taking all the right steps so far.

| 100% sub up port back if you cant do a wall, is your box even ported? Do you happen to know the tune freq? Didnt see a port in the pics, but I doubt youre running them sealed What happened to the sub that it needed to be reconed already? I sure wouldnt trust white glue, 5psi epoxy for sure if you intend on pushing theses subs at all I tore out my substage today, going a big bigger myself!! |
There is a port to the back. 5" x 20" x 22". . Tune @ around 38 hz.
When i receive the sub in the shipment, the cone around was rip. I didn't want to take a chance. I decide to recone it and the guy pay for the recone kit. It is not white glue. Just the cooler of the glue is white. Do you think i can paint the glue black?
I am thinking of adding 2 more speaker to the front.
The subs are getting a little over 4k combine and sound great. Just a lot of rattling. Over time i will make improvement as needed. I just need to finish the dynamiting the vehicle. I have already install 75sq feet.

You can probly hit that white glue with a sharpie or even come model paint if you have a steady hand
Never seen someone tune the BTL's so high before, have any videos??
