Decided to paint it in my garage. I drove this car from La to Slamology last year. Had some bumps on the way and back ended up smoking the transmission.

This build was able to play 14hz-50hz no problem full tilt. I was never able to get the power the subs needed. We clamped 7k out of each 8k rising to 1.4 ohms. 17k out of the bass30k wired at 1.3 with unknown rise.

I'll try to find better videos but these are all from last year and I broke my phone in-between then. This build was nuts for budget equipment. This next season should be a lot better as I'm getting subs with higher xmax that will better suit my box. Each side of the enclosure is close to 24ft^3 so it's a small 1:1

What sort of numbers was this doing?
I think we did a 59.1 @29hz but we had so many different issues. My amps would walk the gain because of how much movement was in the rear. Subs were hardly ever in phase. Once we got things in phase all the lag bolts holding the box together started to snap from the body of the truck moving so much.

Nice. Hopefully when you rebuild you don't break as much stuff next season.
 
What size was the rear chamber? And how big was the front port
Never saw this. It's a 1:1 each chamber is close to 25 cubes. I don't remember how big the port is.

Update since I'm slow at installing.
Now going to run

I have the doors playing and these mids absolutely kick ***. With my box they have a good amount of midbass. Extremely loud. I don't need to turn the amp up at all.
