I know there are a lot of people who don't love JL on here, but I'll post the build log over here too...

I already posted the pic of part of the enclosure in another thread, but starting a new one here...This isn't exactly going to be a full build log, mostly just pics of it as things get finished. This is my buddy's van, we have been building it at his house the last few months. What we have been trying to accomplish is an "old-school" type build, full install, LOW LOW extension, move a bunch of air, and do decent SPL (definitely not our main goal). I worked at a shop in Akron, Ohio in the 90's doing mostly big installs, and competed some myself. He used to compete in consumer classes in USAC back then too. (Both of us had world records in the 90's). HACKMUNCH on CACO was a helper in the design some and some of the tuning...on to the pics...

Posted this one before. sealed portion of the 4th order. 18 cu. ft. sealed, 54 ported, tuned around 46 or so....

I personelly dont care for JL. Just feel you can get better for same price. As far as the build I respect all builds regardless of brand. Kudos on the build

I understand with the newer stuff especially...couldn't beat these though, they were the ones from Credence for $100 each brand new!

Nice. Cant beet that. I know all about getting stuff for cheaper. I just did a budget build in my jeep with 4 hifonics zeus 15s. Couldnt pass on the price of those.

I was gonna buy these too! But to sell. You are making a sick build with them. Wish I had something to put them in. They sound super clean and get low for the money. Dont require much power either!

You aren't kidding there...running off about 300 watts each, it'll do around 153 at 43 hz, and around 151 at 28 hz. Lol

Okay guys, here's the first hairtrick video from a show in Defiance today...this is on only 3500 watts clamped or so, he is hoping to add more power soon....it starts around 25-30 seconds in.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JjVIChny54
