DP 12" in a Regular cab Dodge

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

Well, I finally got around to taking pictures. I'm a senior at my school, so pretty much I have free reign over the wood shop. Haha. I got started about a week ago on this box, but just kept forgetting to take pictures along the way, and luckily after talking to Nick at IA I remembered to bring my camera to school today. So far the box has 7 layers of glass (with a layer of fleece coated in resin on both sides), and I have yet to figure up exact specs, but I'm estimating around 2.5 cubes with a 6" aero that will be tuned to probably 34 hz. The original box I had in my truck was built by me a little over a year ago, and housed a Fi Bl 12. But it had a 3" aero and was severly choking the DP, but the DP was still a lot louder than the BL, even though the DP isn't even broken in yet. Hopefully I'll finish up this box next week after I put a few layers of bondo on it and get it all smooth and purdy. After it's all said and done, it will be painted gloss white, with a nice clear coat on it to keep it protected.

Here's some specs on my truck:

Headunit: Pioneer Premier 690

Door Speakers: Rockford Power series 6x9's

Kickpanel speakers: Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5's

Mids amp: Powerbass ASA 400.4

Sub amp: Powerbass ASA 1500.1

Sub: Incriminator Audio DP 12 D2

Wire: All 1/0 welding cable

Electrical: 2 Batteries up front in the engine bay with Big 3 going to be ran later

Anyway, I'm probably missing something or leaving something out so if anyone has any questions don't be afraid to ask....

On to the Pics!!!!

Old box I made a year ago

If your making a comment about the desing being basically like the old box, that's because that is the best design to get the most air space out of the back of my seats while still being able to use the center console. And it's a 6" aero. I love the size of it. Haha.

I was talking about the size of the subs.

Ok. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Haha. And yes, it was a lot bigger than I thought when I first got it. The BL weighs 34 lbs, while the DP weighs 65 lbs. It's a b i t c h to get into position when trying to place the speaker ring in the right spot with that big s.o.b. in it. Lol.

good work.

Forgot to mention earlier. The highest I ever managed to pull was a 138 at 44 hz with the Bl running on 750 watts (running at 2 ohms). So I can't wait to get this thing metered in the spring. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Oh.... I would also like to get some ideas for what to do with the amps. I was planning on stacking them one on top the other ( having the 1500 on bottom slanted out at the bottom with the 400.4 on top at the top of the box also slanted outward to match the 1500). But if anyone else has ideas, I've got the kickass woodshop and extra fiberglass so I'm open to ANY ideas. Haha.

Nice enclosure. Those DP subs are sick! What are you going to finish the enclosure in/with?

Auto body filler. Some off brand stuff that looks like evercoat and it freaking awesome to apply. I'll probably put 3 layers of that on and sand between layers. I'll finish off with 300 or 400 grit. Then paint it gloss white to match my truck.

And here's a picture of my truck. I'll get shot underneath the hood tomorrow after school of my dual battery setup. It's pretty cool that since dodge used the same body style for their 1/2 tons and 3/4 - 1 tons, and since all cummins trucks had dual batteries, I just snagged a right side battery box from a wrecked cummins, so it all looks stock.

The box and the build in general is really nice, but... in this pic it looks like you have a lot of water coming through where the bolts come through the body of the truck. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii201/bigbud747/PB170096.jpg
