it actually sounds pretty good with the stock head unit, we changed out all the speakers for pioneer 3 way speakers so that helped.......hopefully we will change the head unit soon though

+sorry not sure how to rotate the pics+

Carbon fiber/fiberglass box is in progress. This is what I have for now.

Interesting, Lil Will, why is your box very wide? To make the Bass sound good or louder? Just curious cuz I've a 6000 watt 12inches Pioneer Subwoofer and I don't know which custom box should I go for, one inches MDF bandpass box just enough to hold the 6000 watt but pushing only 3000 watt mono amp from Pioneer or an sealed/ported box. I'm still debating on which and also would like to have a a little special fiberglass to see through on top of the box with CCFL blue light to see the inner sub.

That box was built specifically for that sub. It requires a lot of airspace (2.5 cubic feet after displacement) It is tuned to 32hz.

Eldiablo, I am not sure what your question is. If you are trying to build a custom box for your sub then you should go with what the manufacturer recommends. I do not like bandpass boxes. I prefer ported. I think you need to check the rms on that sub becuase I do not think pioneer makes a 6000 watt sub.

He might have this sub:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...969848,00.html

"...Titanium Voice Coil Former (Bobbin)
With up to 6000 watts running through the voice coil, an exceptionally strong former is required. Pioneer now uses Titanium, one of the strongest materials available. The result is 565% stronger than the former design..."

This particular subwoofer was bread from SPL competition, and IMO is a bit ridiculous to use in any other application.

My guess is he's got this amplifier too:

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...869139,00.html

You can "Externally Bridge" a pair of them together to obtain 6000 watts, but again, unless you're doing SPL competition, and have done your homework, these might not be the best fit for you...

I suggest a much more realistic subwoofer setup. Find a more efficient subwoofer(s), and maximize cone surface area. Give the sub(s) enough room to breath and operate to their potential.

You can never go by the "max" power rating. you should figure out what the RMS power is at 13 volts or less to get a real world idea of what you got going on there. I bench test all my amps at 13-13.3 volts to get a good idea of what RMS power I will see in the car.
