That's what they all say, until they see it in action.

MORE PICS!!!

Finally, the lid goes on! By the way, that bucket is filled with about 80lbs of chains. Helped to compress the lid against the rest of the box for a nice tight squeeze //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Send? I'm not sending it anywhere. If you mean sand, that still doesn't make sense and you are talking out of your ass because I've used liquid nails on my past 3 boxes, and they have all sanded just fine. Hmmm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

More progress tonight, hopefully!

did you get it all hooked up yet, just curious what sounded better the kicker or your old jlw3.

 

[disturbedfuel15 10+ year member]

Haven't got it hooked up yet, still waiting for knotslck to send it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Recieved the sub, great packaging on knotslck's part (thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif). I got the box all finished and the sub is mounted in the car, etc, etc. Let me tell you, what a ***** it was putting this ****ing sub box in there. When it comes out, it's getting destroyed because there is no way I'm going through what I had to go through to get that ****er in there again. I pulled a dumass, and found out it really wouldn't squeeze into my trunk at the angle I had to put it in at, so I tried removing the rear seats, still not enough room. Finally, I got the metal cutters, and cut the **** out of the rear brace behind the back seats. Finally, it slid through, but wait, that's not enough! The hinges to the trunk got in the way, so I had to remove the entire trunk, turn the box, and reinstall the trunk. Jesus, what a shitty ass calculation **** up on my part. Anyway, it's all said and done, so no use in futher *****ing. I got it installed, and I have to say, it get's pretty **** loud. When I first had it set up, it wouldn't hit all the notes like my JL10w3 would. I redid the gains and set the crossover to around 80hz, and now it hits every note with ease. Let me tell you, this ***** get's loud. It hurts my ears when I turn it up to where I normally had the JL. You can tell the SPL is way more dominant than the SQ, but hey, you win some, you lose some. I'm gonna probably keep it in here for atleast another 3 or so months, and then I'm hoping to get a pair of Image Dynamic's 12's in there. Anyway, I'll have pics up tomorrow. I think you guys will like the outcome of the paint. I used a new kind I found called "Rustoleum multi-color textured." It really turned out nice.

PICTURES TOMORROW.

As promised.... PICTURES

You can see the white spot where the primer is visible because it rubbed against the top of the trunk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

You may be able to see paint lines, but they really aren't visible at all, unless you take a picture of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Tiny azz port.

Pounds though?

 

[SAG3 5,000+ posts]

I would have probably given up trying to install it if I ran into those kind of problems.

 

[xxxpower 10+ year member]

so how does it sound

 

[disturbedfuel15 10+ year member]

Yeah, it sounds great. I would say it sounds like my 10" w3, except 50% louder. It really makes you realize the quality of JL products, though.
