[rival904]

Mo Powa




Subs and amp



This setup peaked at 28hz, and played well down into the 20hz range.

Well this wasnt enough, so more stuff coming in the next post.

I couldnt get the output I knew these subs had, so I headed over to Pete at PWK.



Later that night....



So after a little bit of riding around with that, it still wasnt enough. And there was a 3x point event coming to Jacksonville, sooooo





Id like to thank Darren @ Audio Designs for letting me use his woofers for the show.

A little more batt never hurt anyone

[rival904]

In and wired


Didnt care how pretty it looked, just know it was LOUD


Got my amp powder coated to match my truck


So after a week or so of having the wall, I got tired of it, and pulled it out, put the old PWK box in and the Pioneers, and headed down to Florida State Finals.




Currently, I have a RE XXX(new style) I am waiting to drop in to replace the Pioneer setup, for DD bumping anyways, just waiting on Pete @ PWK. He is also redesiging me another wall with hopefully some more output and one that does a little better on the meter.

And incase anyone is wondering, I have a Pioneer D3 for the headunit, and a Soundstream EQ with 8v pre-outs.

nice job

[rumblebee2]

nice work, but, it doesn't seem like you strap you batt.'s and boxes down.

[rival904]

The boxes are and have always been wedged between the seats and back wall.

The batts fit comfortably between the seats.

How much was the ticket for. And I don't understand why you have to sign your tickets in the US.

Edit: Yeah in Ontario we don't have to. Just checked my drinking in public ticket I got when I was 19. So like 2 years ago. Never signed it, has no place to sign it even.

I started on the next step for my truck.

Fiberglass doors.

Step 1: went to the junkyard, grabbed 2 new panels, and cut em up...



Step 2: Tape em up.



Step 3: Glass em



The plan is 4 PowerBass 4XL 6.5s and 2 Selenium ST350s per door.

Heres one Powerbass 4XL, 1 ST350, and my new sub for the moment

[rival904]

Heres the mold I did yesterday:




And heres the other door I just got done glassing



Ill pop that one tommorrow and then trim em up, possibly start on the frame work tommorrow, but I like to take stuff like this one step at a time so I can do everything right.

[av8ter]

Any progress?

That mid/high setup is going to give your ears a work out, no doubt.

[rival904]

No, Ive been slacking.

I still gotta trim the molds, and make the rings, which I might do tonight.

I did put the RE XXX in though...

[rival904]

Trimmed out my molds



and cut some rings

[WOT]

You use ALOT more resin that mat eh!!

Bassracing a 120-129? Didnt even know there was such a class, my doors could do that.

Id advise against the st350's, hook them up and take a listen before building your pods around them, they sound horrible and raspy, you may like there loudness, but they dont sound good, I seriously suggest trying them out quick first

Nice truck btw, always lied that gen
