DD T1510's Box build

[atlninja82 10+ year member]

they will take a LONG time to break in. Talking like 20 hours

**** really?

id keep all hu settings flat and turn youre hu about 3/4 or so then adjust the gain to get a little noise. dont try to max em out or nothing

did you watch my video? is that ok?

Should've done external aero's if you didn't have the room. Plus you wouldn't have had the restrictions of the ports having the right angles

i dont have any room to do external either

If you're not happy with it, there's absolutley nothing wrong with building another box. I f'd up my first one, learned alot from it, and to me, my second one was flawless. They are your subs that will probably be in your truck for a while, might as well be happy with them and do it right. MDF is cheap. Experience is invaluable.

yea i was planning on doing that but now i adjusted the ssf and it exceeds my expectations.

cool, glad you're happy. I personally saw nothing wrong with the looks of it, now that it performs, even better. Good job with the build

btw anyone know what i can do to protect the cone from hitting the seat other than a grill?

Only way to get a true RMS rating is with a clamp-meter. Using a DMM and messing around with the voltage that the amp puts out in AC doesn't give true readings because it doesn't account for other things like imp. rise etc. If you want to know the true RMS you're sending them, you need two DMM's, one measuring AC voltage and the other being a clamp meter around the sub wires.

[burzendowski 10+ year member]

they are SOOO much better. seriously they freakin slam. i have put about 5-6 hours on them already and every time i get into my truck and listen to them they get louder and lower.

dang thats a good idea. what is that plexi glass? and does that affect sound any?

 

[Nut Hair Trick 10+ year member]

Yes, it's plexi. I need to order some Lexan instead because the Lexan is stronger and doesnt split like Plexi does.

 

[atlninja82 10+ year member]

does it affect the sound any? and where did you get the mounts?

 

[Nut Hair Trick 10+ year member]

It does as far as I'm concerned. Quite an improvement. Search "DD loading wall" on this site and you will see quite a few posts explaining it as well as pics of other people's installs. I ordered the feet from parts express, 1" and 1/2" stacked. I used (4) 3" #12 screws. Also, I bought rubber washers to go on top of the plexi, on top of that some flange(flat) washers, then ran the screws through.

 

[atlninja82 10+ year member]

hmmm. so it actually makes it louder? wouldnt the seat act as a loading wall?
