alright, so i finished up my box last night, and got it installed this morning. the box seemed heavier than what i expected, so after i put the sub in, i weighed it. it came in at 64 pounds. not a lot since the sub is like 20 pounds, but that box seemed heavy.
on to business now....so far it sounds great. i could not believe how much of a difference the box made. it hits real hard, gets pretty **** loud, and holy chit LOW. it doesnt do any flexing, but when it hits, it moves the whole windshield at the top seam and the same with the back windshield. i can't get my rear view mirror to stay put and it is shaking my headliner. i dont have any rattles other than the bladder things in my trunk that are there to release pressure like when you close the doors, so your ears dont pop. i can close those off. the worst part is my back dash! when it hits low notes, the thing jumps up in the air about 3 inches and makes this terrible rattle. i'll work on that, im thinking just some double sided foam tape should cure it. any ideas?
i have my gain set correctly, but as far as the HPF and LPF and all that, i dont know what i should set it to. i can tell i need some tuning with it. any ideas on what i should set the filters to? i thought about using bass boost but thats bad for it am i correct? is there any way to turn on the bass boost and then re-set the gains lower to ensure minimal clipping?
now finally i can tell people that i have one 12 when they think i have two 12's.
pictures will be coming soon.
OH YEA, almost forgot, this if off 400 watts.
PIX ARE IN!
i messed up....i cut that piece with a circular saw and then i ran outta wood so i had to fudge it a little bit with some weatherstripping foam and some door shims....i really dont care how it looks, but its sealed up good and that's all that matters to me!
perfect fitment and no port noise!!
and yes, i play tennis and raquetball...haha
