2 15's in a dodge dakota

[curtis96olds 10+ year member]

ok, i know im a little late, but i totally forgot about doing a build log while i was doing the build so i guess ill post my finished build.

Equipment is as follows

pioneer premier DEH410UB head unit ( from old build, replacing soon)

MB quart DSC4125 for mids/highs

ID CTX65c component set for front

2 AQ sdc2.5 15's

AQ1200D for subs

box is 6.5 cubes after displacements tuned to 35hz using 2 6" aeros.

knukonceptz 1/0 wiring kit

Big 3 done in knu 1/0 wiring

Kinetic HC2000 under the hood

back wall and floor done with 2-3 layers or damplifier pro.

doors sealed + deadened with damp pro also.

and coming soon is a 180 amp alt from DC power.

cant even tell that one sub is a year older then the other lol

the back floor is still a bit dusty/dirty from working back there, i will clean it soon.

i will try to get a vid up of it today sometime

next summer the plan is to buy another 1200D, strap them and get 2 different 15's to run back there... im thinking maybe SSD 15's fully loaded (if they would take 1200rms daily) or 2 BL 15's

Looks good. I would've made the box a little bigger but looks nice. Bet it's loud.

i wanted to make the box bigger also, but i wanted to keep the box below the back window line, thats the biggest i can make the box without me having to hug my dash. and yeah its extremly loud, before this i just had one of those 15's in there tuned to 38 hz, and im glad when i rebuilt, i tuned a bit lower cause now it KILLs the lows, when i had it tuned to 38 hz it didnt hit at all, seemed very weak, which makes me wonder why everyone tunes the AQ's so high.

Me too. I usually tune to 34 hz. Sounds so much better.

heres a video i threw together real quick, my camera is bad at showing flex but it does pretty well with bass.

i wish the camera would pick up the stearing wheel flex, in person its crazy but the camera doesnt pick it up for some reason.

it was to windy to film it today, but ill try to get a hairtrick video up soon

video dont work and those subs can take more power in the right box. i seen 2000 to a pair of the same subs. i had a sae1200d on just one tune to 34.9 hz about a year and a half ago. good luck bro

hmm, the video works for me, maybe its because i just uploaded it like 1 minute ago to youtube, i dunno how long it takes for them to make the video viewable to the public. i know they could take more power but this is what i had for an amp. before i got the second sub i was running one of the subs at 2 ohms off the amp.

cool vid

looks good....man that truck has way more room in the extended cab area than mine

 

[Mookie 10+ year member]

Wooo, some BL's would wang.

there is a decent amount of room back there, but i wish i had more

right now i have the amps on my false floor right infront of my sub box, if i can find another place to mount my amps i can possibly go a few inches deeper with the box for more air volume. ill have to play around with some measurements.

how would BL's work in that box? would 6.5 cubes be enough for 2 15" BL's? and how good are the BL in the lower bass region..like low 30's
