Ok, well my new SPL build is in its prelim stages. Designs are being calculated up and various components are being ordered and obtained. This thread is going to pretty much be the central area for posting my build pics ans design plans. Im going to be needing some suggestions, so feel free to comment. First up what ill be working with for the 06-07 USACi season.
EQUIPMENT
SUB-2006 Fi car audio BTL 12" full cooling (will also be a daily sub) 3rd mag, and hi Xmax coil
TEMPORARY AMP-Orion 1200D possibly at .5 ohms TBD if it will handle it, but if not other things will have to be setup to run it temp on this amp
FUTURE AMP-Probably going to be going with a solid amp that does i2500-3k @ 1 Ohm looking at a Memphis MCD-2500 (Memphis' new 2500 watt amp) 20.1 is out being that I will be needing an amp that does more power at 1 ohm. and USAC is gay about class ratings so instead of going after either SS 0-300 or 301-900 Im going to be a Street Beat competitor in SB 1.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM-Im pretty stout right now with my 250 amp alt (USACi allows the car to run while testing) and my G31 optima. but im hoping to get aonther optima and run it as a spare.
WIRING-will be 4 runs of 1/0 or possibly 2/0 (im an overkill guy) and of course 8Ga. Speaker wire 8 Gauge of course.
BOX-This is the Tricky part, because as many of you know this is going in a single cab truck so I have a few options and here are the Design pics (still in a semi-2D form, because of ease of explaining them)
Box 1-Standard L-shaped port, but im concerned with that huge "tunnel area" that runs between the port wall and the front baffle, might cause some air flow issues, anyone that wants to comment feel free, this is kinda like a poll pick which one you like
Specs...2.25 @ 36 with 43.75 Sq inches of port
Box 2- dual L shaped ports clears up the long tunnel, but im not familiar with running dual ports with one sub and might be also concerned with air flow...again pic which one you like
Specs...2.6 @ 37 with 68 Sq inches of port
Tunning will be adjusted eventually to where each box will be around 2.2 or so at or around 35 Hz.
OTHER MISC stuff-HU will be my CDA-9855.
Stay tuned for updates, equipment should be showing up by the end of this week or beginning of next.
THANKS
