haha, im just gonna use this box to break in the sub, and then rebuild again (yes i said it) and take my sweet *** time. im a perfectionist, and it has to look perfect for me to be happy. 3rd times the charm. so far the sub sounds awesome, but i need more power.

update....

first things first, after running the wire for both amps etc, ive decided to do a big overhaul on my wiring job and maybe some other things. Everything was just so un organized so today i ordered all new matching power wire from KnuKonceptz, gonna pick up a roll of speaker wire from walmart, and redo everything. some wire was too short i couldent mount my amps where i wanted to etc so i just got pissed off and busted out the credit card. haha.

2nd of all, after installing the DIYMA and tuning for 5 min, i started to hear flapping noises, turned around and looked at the sub......paper cone ripped. decided to scratch the DIYMA idea, and ordered another JBL GTO dual 4ohm 12", which was what i was runnign before the DIYMA and loved to death, just needed money at the time so i sold it. Now im going with another one. ha.

anyways this weekend im building the box for the JBL, gonna get it all ready before the sub arrives, then on a day off during the week im gonna wake up early, take out the seats, carpet etc and start fresh and run it all cleanly and organized....I hope. ha

here are some pics....

new box design

or i might go back to the same box as last time which the JBL sounded perfect in.

that was the main reason i turned away from the diyma sub. the cone is extremely fragile. i believe it was included in the great 12 challenge and it was also noted that the cone was dented very easily. sorry to see it happen to you though. g'luck with the new build!

thanks guys. i really liked the DIYMA, but i guess i need more output then i thought i did. im excited for this new build. gonna take my time and run all the wires nice n neat etc.

 

[bkjt05 10+ year member]

hey guys, is it bad to have the sub pretty much firing into the port like this?
