the victim...













well its not the prettiest thing in the world, first time ever building a box on my own, in the past ive always had the help of my buddy who does carpentry for a living, so anyways, dont flame me too bad for my woodworking skills. as u can see, the carpet i got obviously didnt work too well, i can make carpet look pretty good for what its worth, not pro by any means, but typically a hella lot better than this came out. maybe ill re wrap it someday. anyways, hears the pix, im about to headout and try to get the rest of this thing complete

 

box is good but i would have done sub up ports back.

 

Everything looks good so far but you should have mounted your high's up near the a-pillars for optimum sound.

 

Guy, no points taken off for DIY action! You think that looks back bad? Wait till you see what I'm about to post.

Hey. I'm feeling those foglights. You have a post about them I can read?

 

why? it sounds great like it is... plus it wouldnt work with mounting the amps and all, i tried everything, i got it down to lookin pretty decent id say... sounds hella good.

 

thats not true, not entirely by any means, down in the kicks they sound real nice, in fact, once i can get them on axis it will be a lot better. the main problem people have with having them down low is stage height, with a lil t/a i got mine up to the center of the dash right about where the top of the radio door is.. its where it sounds best to me right now... its only been installed a few days, so ill get it good b4 long, especially once i get the tweets on axis, or a lot closer

 

As long as everything sounds good to you that's all that matters. I was referring to sound staging when I made that comment. I've just always heard people say to mount tweets up high but as long as everything still sounds nice, rock on.

 

yea ur right, most people do, alot of people dont have the EQ and t/a capabilities on their units though, actually, even down there, i still have them attenuated slightly, i have the mids 80 - 2.5k/12db and the tweets at 2.5k+/24db.

 

with only your 9887 for sound processing do you have any idea of going with the imprint or the h701

 

imprinting this week, we will see how i like it, from there i may go h701/c701 combo

 

you wont need the c701 with the 9887, it is compatable with the h701 but if you need a c701 i have one for sale

 

lookin good dude!

 

Damn those are some thin ports. And .7 ft^3 per sub? My 10" has I believe 2.75 for it haha

 

Well your "10inch" has enough space for some 15s...

 

yup, the dayton ho's work best in very small ported enclosures and somehow still get damn low.

they are also pretty efficient but have a lowish xmax so they don't need a huge port.

very kick ___ subs.

 

Maybe some 15's, but not the same sub in 15"..

And thats tight tcguy85 I wish my sub hit lows a little better

 

whats frequency is your box tuned to?
