I know a few of you have seen and heard this truck its pretty loud for a 2 12 setup on 3k.

Pic Of Box


Just Testing The Box

Update Solo xs were just sold and 6 12" woofers will take place in a walled setup in this truck. still only on 3k rms for now until summer then 5 to 6k will arrive.

9 cubes + behind the seats? Tight build. He don't wanna do a blow thru?

the box has already been built its 12 cubes LOL and no blow thru for him

Looks great!! He was already loud. Look forward to seeing and hearing this in person.

Yeah i found out why he was metering lower that day as well one wire on coil 2 came disconnected so one sub was getting 1500 rms and the other 750 rms lol and this new setup should be done here by the end of the weekend

Wire got disconnected on my sub to that say...accept mine was where the strip mets the tinsel lead.

Box looks good! What subs did are going in?

lookin gooooooood!!!

Thanks ridn hopefully i can get a better cam for some good pics of the install my tablet takes wide pics hard to get it in a single shot

Looks really clean, nice work man. How does it sound? Does do better than expected? I have heard of people being surprised by those Pioneer's in the right box.

Thanks Ryan well we havent played it with the gains up yet gonna let the spiders loosen up a bit probably next week turn the up and set gains with a dd1 if i can get my hands on one but what is suprising so far is how low the box plays with these woofers i mean it sounds clean

theres a few of them around the area lol Ryan has one, I have one, so your not lacking in that dept. lol but I cant wait to hear this.. its turn out really good. whats it tuned to btw?

Thanks i may have to use one of your dd1 until i can order one for myself. And original box tunning was 33 but 45s bracing dowels fiberglass resin and the 45 degrees i have to chop at the corners all decrese box volume which them raises tunning from my calculations id say about 36 hz give or take a few tens but it plays low like its tunned at 30 i love the wall sounds good

well good.. just like john has be tellin me its 70 percent build 30 percent product.. you can make anything sound good and loud with the right setup and hw it was built

Its very true box design and quality of build is beyond key, i built a box for 2 12 jbl gt4 woofers a customer got for 20 bucks and they are loud sound like 2 type rs

you know, for being a $70 woofer, those jbls get pretty damn loud.. I ran them for awhile in a prefab ( i know shitty but thats what I had at the time) and still hit a 37.x in the kick off ~760 watts going to two 12s..

Nice yeah my buddy had a pioneer champ pro at that little meet in the blue countour and he did a 137 with 1 pioneer 12 custom.box shit voltage on 400 watts pretty impressive

yeah thats not bad at all.. lol build >product all day................ in most instances

I agree to a certain point. Question man where did you buy your dd1 and how much do they run

I got mine from West Coast Car audio. It was around $160 shipped I believe.
