Read about the MTX re-q and the issues that it attempts to resolve.

I ported my box and repositioned it in the trunk. It is a lot louder and I now have a lot of interior rattles to track down. I think I have gone as far as my 25 dollar pyle sub can take me with this new design. I can't imagine extracting any more bass than this from it. Can't use the...

whipped this up today, should tune my box to 33hz, will see how it goes. very happy with my 25 dollar sub so far but am planning on a powerbass 12 M series next year. [/img]

I heard that you can get peal and stick air conditioner insulation at lowes for cheap that does a decent job,

If your not going for SPL, or high end SQ, and you are just adding some lows to a stock system, what frequency range would you shoot for with your sub install? 30 - 80 or so? May mid twenties to... how high? I want to get some test tones on a disc and see where my installation is making the...

Should I port the box with this sub? The sealed box that I showed pictures of on page 3 is around 1.8 cubic ft. (could be 1.7 or 1.9 this is approximate). The specs for the Pyle are: Fs(Hz) 26.2 Qms 5.81 Qes .90 Qts .78 Vas (cu ft) 4.146 Is this a candidate for porting? My feeble...

That looks like an amazing buy. WOuld you recommend a Pyramid 5000 watt amp to push this? It would have almost 800 RMS right? jk btw!

quack, pvc cap would be easier now that I think about it, may have to glue it on though bc the sub will want it off!

one more interesting thing that may help someone someday. The GM head unit in the car actually delivers RCA level outputs over it's main speaker leads to the amplifier as long as the stock amp is connected. The head unit knows if the stock amp is present or not as they both communicate over...

I am happy with it. I am still playing with gains adjusting a little each day and trying to better mach bass output to the full range volume. The sub actually does good. I don't know if the Soundaround stuff has improved over the years or what, but I am getting more than I expected from the...

Hi Quack. Thanks for the comments. I actually had the wood, screws, paint, caulk, and misc items needed. My 100 dollar budget actually bought the LOC, amp install kit, 24k GM side battery post connector, and a Sirius sat radio kit for my car. Don't feel bad for me. That 85 dollar deal you...

Thinking of porting with one of these toilet flanges. It would be neat bc I can use 4 inch or 3 in PVC with the same flange. After I installed it, I would fill the spaces in the ring with bondo, sand, and paint to match the box. I could change port lengths and diameters easily by removing the...

I appreciate your feedback but your answer was not relevant. It turns out that my factory amp contains an equalizer that varies with output. I mentioned in my previous post that I connected my LOC after the factory amp. That was the problem. But what the heck, posting whatever irrelevant BS...
