Will do guys, im gonna start running the zero awg and wireing the box tomorrow after work

 

[Ed H]

That is simply badass! I have (1) 15" sub in a 7ft3 box tuned to 28Hz in my home theater. I can only imagine what (2) 18s will sound like in the truck. Holy crap!

 

[ghenny440]

Thanks ed, juan is the only one who knew anything untill lastnight i will be tuned to 35 hrz, the port is 3" in the back of the subs, and come up and accross the subs, over the subs it goes up to 4" well as promissed a look at the front doors amp, i will have a matching 504 for the back doors, and ofcourse the matching 1001's for the subs
View attachment 26790
Still waiting on the 504 to come in

 

[ghenny440]

The guy who is training me on box building, joe ault has 2 of the 1001's on 2 custom built shocker 15's in his s-10 with 2 layers of deadener through his whole truck and the back wall of his cab dam near touches his bed, they are deff under rated amps

 

[Boricua SS]

I hqve been working on getting the cash together for this for a while now

cant wait to hear it bro!!!:wootwoot:

 

[Short Bus]

Nice I know Juan's subs sound great for what he has, I bet this will be amazing.

 

[ghenny440]

More to come later... tomorrow im doing a custom mount on my lc1, removing the third row finally, and running the rca's to the back, should be sanding the box and painting the port saturday and wiring it up, possibly firing it up on sunday, depends on how it goes at the shop saturday to see how much we get done that night

Here is the back of my LC1 mount i made

View attachment 26889
All done! It works awesome to!
View attachment 26890
3rd row gone and all 0awg ran
View attachment 26891
Quick test of the leds before i lock down the lid
View attachment 26892
Box in and wired up
View attachment 26893
View attachment 26894
View attachment 26895
All lit up and joe is voltage matching the amps,
Now unfortunately we didnt anticipate the amount of flex in the lid, so hind site being 20/20 i had to pull the lid run a brace down the middle of the port between the subs and then double face the lid, the single face was flexing so much i let the magic smoke outta the amp on the passenger side so for now its crippled and only running on one amp, should be back up and BANGIN in a few days... thank god for warranty,
So next is the big 3 with some 0awg build my ultra cap banks(2 banks of 6) and to build an amp rack off of the back of the box to house all 4 amps...
more pics as i progress! later nation!

 

[Boricua SS]

man this chit BANGS!!! and i only heard the burp with one amp... something is definitely going to break in the back there... whether its the factory welds, being an XL, his rear windows, or the plastic valance where the 3rd brake light is housed... that chit was moving today.. and it was only on one of the amps...

can't wait to hear it at its full potential bro...

I'm guessing it'll be the rear glass, the "port" is aimed right at it.

 

[oh05ext]

i say itll either be the 3rd brakelight or the little pieces of plastic that follow behind the rear glass going vertically above the taillights

I am just curious. Why not port it forward?

Moderator - can we make the "bows" a smiley on this board? There have been many times I wish we had them.

 

[ghenny440]

The amp rack is going between the seat and and box, and there is NO WAY you wqnt that much air pressure blowin at the back seats, for SPL the port is meant to go back in this particular setup i was told by my boss at B's i should flop the box and put the port at the bottom firing back and it will increase the preassure by circulating it up and around but i think im fine with it the way it is and thanks everyone, gonna start the big 3 and the cap banks this weekend then its time for the amp rack and facia boards to cover it up nice and clean... couple more weeks i guess

 

[ghenny440]

Got my big 3 done tonight, cap bank built, and did my wheel bearings! Droppin in the cap bank on thursday, possibly starting my amp rack Friday

View attachment 27130

And 14.2 (BANGIN)
View attachment 27131
And i got my door mids just got get the tweets now
Those are 4 american bass 6.5" sq series (1 in each door)
And 2 american bass vfl 6.5" midbass (1 for each front door)

 

[gmcman]

Dayuuummm. That's some juice there Yahoo Serious.

I was questioning the thought of 18's but with the port rear-facing it should work well. I think the whack on the back of the seat should be quite a wallop. Generally the sound wave doesn't come back together in such a short distance but apparently it does in this case.

I'm curious as to how long the ground wires are coming from under the alternator? Just questions..hope you don't mind as this was a big hobby of mine and still is but I don't mess around with this as much.


I definitely want to hear (feel) this.

 

[ghenny440]

The ones for the big 3 are approximately 2.5' long they just wrap back a bit, and yeah it hits hard! Even on only 1 amp right now, i was hoping to have the 2nd amp back yesterday but its lookin more like monday but i will also hqve my gto 504 at the same time to so atleast that works out

 

[ghenny440]

And yeah the whack on the seat is no joke... i have it tuned to approximately 35/37 hrz and you can feel the seat lift and the back rest push on you

 

[ghenny440]

Once i have the 2nd amp back in i will post a vid of it being metered

 

[ghenny440]

Well my 2nd sub amp and my amp for the back doors came in today
View attachment 27188
And i got the 2nd sub amp installed (temporary location sorry)

 

[ghenny440]

Well i havent done much of anything to the system as of late i am building some hold down brackets to keep the box in place... with the extra power the box moves around like a ping pong ball! I am in the process of mapping out my door pods, just gotta choose my tweets to finish them off and get the 3.5" for the dash. And to those in mecca running s2 my buddy is running a trunk car over 149 db
View attachment 27408
That was the 1st run my phone died after this 3rd run was 149.4

Well not exactlypart of the setup technically, but its meant to protect the system.
Compustar 6000 alarm remote start, 2 way remotes with 1 mile range, and new for this year the compustar FT-RPS touch keypad, the keypad allows you to page the 2 way remote, or enter a 4 digit code that, unlock and disarms the alarm without the need of the remotes, and if you hold the red touch button it will lock and arm the alarm also, so you can leave your keys in the car if you are at the beach or an amusment park or whatever... Pretty slick setup

3rd row gone and all 0awg ran

Of all the awesomeness in this thread, THIS is the mod I want to do most to my own truck!! (minus the extra wiring)

It will make things so much easier not having to mess with the 3rd row seats when I need extra space, and have to move my box around, since it would fit real nice in that pocket right behind the 2nd row seats.

 

[ghenny440]

Well i have been working alot lately and havent really had a chance to work on my ride lately but here is a video of a 13 dodge dart ralleye we just did today... Enjoy

[ghenny440]

Well i got the itch and some spare time so i decided to start running wire, got the drivers front door ran with 3 runs of 14awg speaker wire, a new set of rockford tweets, and made a new boot for the wires, i used rubberized hot glue to seal the loom up and to seal the factory boot where the loom goes through on both the door side, and the car side

Yeah my door check broke just been to busy to fix it

The hifonics zeus zxi will be gone soon, gettin it ready to start glassing
