18" BTL compared to 12" CVR

there isn't any white blemish on the sub, i dont why its there in the pic.

for this

getting started

double baffle

about 50% done

This is all we did tonight. Gotta finish up the bracing and port and put the bottom of the enclosure. i know it looks like we're building it upside down. The reason is when its time to load the speaker and finish the box it'll be a ton easier for us to move around .75" MDF than 1.5" MDF inside the trunk. Comments and suggestions?

Looks alright, you going to paint or carpet?

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

Can't decide yet. I'm thinking about doing that spray that meade uses on his enclosures, but its about 5 bucks a can. So i'm thinking about just carpeting it for now. I'm only gonna keep it till around Christmas. 2 should be in by then

how big is that box? tuned to? looks nice, build it in the trunk?

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

its 5 cubes tuned to 32hz. The only part that will have to be assembled in the trunk is the when attach the bottom to the whole thing.

Nice, your gonna love the loudness of the 18" BTL. I had my BTL pushed with the same amount of power thatt you have and it still moved pretty good.

All those vids I have up on youtube were with a similar amp to what your using.

When I upgraded to the RF Power that did 3800 rms @ 1ohm it was chaos, too bad I never took any vids with it.

thnx. Hoping it gets louder than 3 12" cvr's with around 1000wrms in a sealed enclosure. If it does ill be a happy camper. If anything ill pick another a3000db

Only 5 cubes for the 18? did you choose to do that or is 5 all you had available?

Sorry, no criticism meant but don't you want around 6-7 cubes?

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

i chose it. I can have up to around 10 cubes net, but i want this enclosure to be removable without me hacking it. It's only temporary ..criticism is welcome

 

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

5 cubes is removable? nice size trunk...

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

yeh lol. If the enclosure was .1 inch taller it wouldn't fit

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

How does it sound?

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

and btw its a good 4 inches from the top of the trunk if you are wondering It's not as high as it looks. Also i can move the enclosure about ten inches back if i want to. Im just waiting for it to dry completely

How does it sound?
