i know it probably doesn't need it but hell.. add bracing to take up more volume if needed

Hell ya, I'm glad I did htat to take up more internal volume. I not sure how this sub would handle 900-1000 watts rms. It seems to perfrom great off of a JL 500.1

Do you guys think that the Hifonics 1606d running 1100watts rms @ 2 ohm is gonna be a lil overkill since the JL 500/1 I tested the sub on last night seems to be pushing the sub to its full potential allready? Or is it just that the box is soo large the subwoofer excursion is much greater then if it was in a smaller box therefore it doesn't need that many watts as what some of you are running to there type R's?

I'm still planning on getting the 1606d, but just wanted a few more opinions on the subject.

If I plan on never upgrading subs how will this amp perform with the 12" type R thats running at 2ohms?

I've designed and made a box like that before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

werd, i was thinking crx style...but after doing a box similar to this one(in a hatch) i realized it is very vehicle dependant. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

LOL, My uncle builds custom homes here in Scottsdale, AZ and when visiting one of his job sites I told him I was building a subwoofer box. He let me have a giant tube of this subfloor adhesive, he started talking about some weird codes I've never heard of and how this glue surpasses and meets all specs from Engineered Wood Association blah blah blah.... All I know is that this stuff is very very strong because I accidetly got just a small dap of it on my left over wood and just that little bit of glue stuck two 12"x8" pcs of wood together as if it was nailed. I'll get the brand name of it tonight when I get home from work.

Has anyone built a box without using screws or nails and only using this type of glue?

Would you ever want to meet up so my buddy kyle the owner of the Scion can check out your ride and if you can tell us what you think of the single 12 type R in this box I just made?

wood glue, once cured, should be stronger than the wood itself.

if you make straight cuts and clamp your pieces well (while the glue dries), you should not need screws.

Wood glue is still stronger //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wood glue bonds are chemical, and are stronger than the wood being bonded.
