Jeep ZJ Crawler Project

Hell yeah man, really like that 3 sub setup.

It sounded so great. Didn't leave much room for amp(s) and battery though AND being above the window line left me in a bad situation at competitions.

The other box I threw together with the cheapest plywood I could find the day before a show. The takeaway there is the orientation. You'd need to test a bit to get the exact angle but firing the port into that corner was loudest. With the seats up the box set along the back wall the port loaded down a bit and was fair for music.

I will try out some different orientations for SPL. I would like to hit 150 or close to it.

I do not believe you'll see much more than 145 out of what you have posted here.

Right on, that's still banging Could I do it with 2 of the Evil 15's? And I'm stepping up to a Tar smart 5k, just trying to find the best deal.

I chased 150 back in the day too. I got 147.9 back in the day in a walled crx with 4 hx2 10's was so bummed out.

On 5K probably if you tune higher. That Jeep will want to peak at 54hz.

Box came out pretty sick, this is with 3 coats of poly over a one coat grey carbon base stain. I am going to wait 4 to 5 days for it to harden then sand it down and hit it with 3 more coats. The stain covered really well, i did scuff it with 400 before I cleared it to give it a weathered finish which I'm fond of. It almost looks like marble lol. The SSA mids came in today as well. Pics do not do these little bastards justice. The build quality is fantastic and they are heavy af for 6.5's, the tweeters are even heavy, feels like a good set. Will try to get them in this weekend.

Damn 54hz, that's a little buzzy lol. I think 45 may be my sweet spot, idk need to play around more. Will tuning higher, say 45hz, kill your low end?

This was a good 30 second music track for me, you'd start at about 120 seconds for the most consistent tone.

Also this depending on your mood. You'll want to get in your 30 seconds before the 1 minute mark or so.

I think 45 may be my sweet spot,

My Grand Cherokee LTD I have now peaks 43 sealed 45 with a door open but that's with a B-pillar wall. It may be that is more a function of the box volume. Measure corner to corner, divide by the speed of sound then divide by 2 and 4 and that will give you a rough idea of where you will see half and quarter-wave peaks.

Will tuning higher, say 45hz, kill your low end?

Really depends on your definition of "low". I would not tune above 40hz for any application other than SPL burps. I've generally enjoyed 37-40hz tuning but you may "have" to tune lower if you like to play test tones and half speed """music""" and of course I haven't modeled or tested Evil so I can't really say how that behaves in any particular tuning.

Interested in how those evils mids and tweeters sound. I've had my cdt cl62 pros for a long time. Might be ready for a change.

Right on, thanks for the info.

I'm going to set them up active through a DSP with recommended rms and tune towards SQ. We will see, I will post what my amateur ears can discern.

I will say that the Anarchy mids won't fit in the stock door locations, hopefully you don't have any trouble with mounting depth on the Evil mids.
