    Couple questions- Bass knobs, connecting lithium battery and epicenter

    Forum smartass, I didn't say that's news. I am saying they do not increase the audio volume linearly, and the music sounds better by setting the amps alone. F<ck you for wasting my time. For everyone else, answer the questions. I don't have time for the bullshit. I am not building a wall for...

    Couple questions- Bass knobs, connecting lithium battery and epicenter

    I don't know exactly, but I set the gain with a multimeter. I would prefer not to have the bass knobs, i think they **** up the sound

    Couple questions- Bass knobs, connecting lithium battery and epicenter

    I finally got my setup running last june, but my car broke down on the way to Slamology, so I never made it to the contest. Now I need help ironing out some kinks in the setup, but first here are some pics so you know what I got. 2 Sundown sia-3500 monoblock amps 4 Sundown x-12 4 ohms 370 amp...

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    Yeah my bad-thank you for taking the time- I just needed more info- I was set on 30 hz. I just didn't understand what you mean by clearace? How the port fits into the box? I am gonna keep it 5 in above the bottom of the box for good clearance and air flow. Holy hell- yeah dude that's gonna...

    Did I offend you? I wanted you to clarify the clearance thing

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    Thanks for the feedback dude What do you mean by internal clearance? Like keep the port at 15” so it doesn’t go to far into the box. Your calculations are close. The math I did has the port at 20” at 30 hz, but I didn’t subtract the port displacement from the quik tube. Do you subtract port...

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    Got my stuff in the mail- the project is coming along nicely. I am ok with a box- I don't want to build a wall, but I am going to either dump the back seats or decklid. Before I worry about any more "bodywork" I want to make sure all of my electrical is good. Got the amps in the mail. The...

    Treating a form tube

    I know-they're 1/2 smaller. I've thought about buying a 12 just to see if I could stuff it in my box (port is a little on the small size) Thanks- I am using MDF. I think they'll be fine once I get the back part on and sand them down to size. It just bugs me they're not perfectly straight

    Treating a form tube

    Goddang dude that must pound like a *****. I just ordered mine- It's only a single 10". It sucks I couldn't find an 11"- only even numbers. Do you know anything about dowels for bracing? I glued and screwed in 3 dowels to my baffle before closing the sub box, but they're not perfectly...

    Treating a form tube

    Couple questions before I install my form tube for my box's port. I've read they're durable, but some choose to treat them with fiberglass resin. Can someone explain how to do this? I am assuming you paint the area where the port goes through the baffle on each side. I am planning to make the...

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    So I got lucky... My 370 amp alternator should be arriving by Sat evening, and I have some old equipment (1 x12 with kicker cxa1800.1) I can hook up in the time being. Plus I got 2 100 ah agm batteries that had been removed from a semi truck, so I’m gonna hook up a battery in the trunk that...

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    Thanks for clarifying all the ratings dude- The battery issue is the area where I am in over my head- I am gonna spend today learning about it. I'm not set on 10k- I'm ok with 7k rated watts. If the alternator charges the battery faster than it's C rating, it will mess up the battery or shorten...

    Is 2500 watts too much for a x12? (critique my setup idea)

    Gonna order that battery today. It takes 20 days to make but it looks like a good choice Box is 39”wide by 21” high by 25” deep. Double baffle. Volume is 8.76 ft^3 after speaker displacement. I’m going with a 10” quik tube port 30 hz
