[QUOTE="WakeNBake520, post: 8721190, member: 679059"] They are sold out n have been since I got the cash to get it unfortunately which is why I’m looking at getting a substitute. So it does get kinda loud now but nowhere near where I think it shoukd, but definitely has a signal issue with the smart 3. It’s input is .2 - 4V max n this headunit puts out 5v at “max”. It also jumps the signal meter on top of the amp to max forcing it into protect with certain songs with higher output or even high notes. I built the enclosure n it’s a bit larger than the one recommended by SQ on their site but definitely a different shape, n is tuned roughly to 32-34. Net volume minus bracing n displacement is about 7.23 cu.ft. It’s in an 05 Nissan Titan king cab. I’ll attach the box design pic but it doesn’t include the ports. For the ports I used 2x 8” pvc sections coming out of the top with 90deg fittings and extended the rest of the length towards the front to get to the tuning i did. I didn’t realize that I’d need such long ports otherwise I’d have likely went with a slot design if I could have figured out a good way to fit it. The ports currently face forward as does the sub. I am able to pretty easily change the ports direction, at least as far as space allows. And honestly if the best thing to do is redesign n build the box then that’s cool too.
