Lol @ my install

Looks like he did the best with what he had laying around, which I think was the point. It will be installed for a day for some competition, then taken out. I doubt he plans on leaving it that way... he's just trying to figure out how to maximize his SPL with what he has in there...

I understand that this is just for a day but common man

the painters tape was just so no ground wires touched it while i was wiring it up. no help from anybody with my questions in the first post? i'll post em again.

1. Right now the SSD is wired to 2 ohms, getting 1600 from the amp. Should I wire it down to .5 and give it all 3000 from the Solid Audio F2500D?

2. Also, I'm only getting one go at this. The box is 2 cubes tuned to 35, 28 sq inches of port area, i am going to roll in to a burp at 45, 50 and 55 hz. What would be the best box positioning? right or left side, how many inches from the hatch, seats up/down? etc.

seats down, you want it so that the peak of the wave hits the mic. So math is involved, Im still working on learning that shit. Play around with it, see what will be the best, Id imagine in the center, and port facing to hatch and a little closer to hatch

drop it to .5 and roll the volume, you may need a recone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I wouldnt risk giving it 3000 just for this comp but it may just be me.

Position is a tough call.. i would say leave it sub up port back, but move it to the drivers side, and i dont think bringing the port end closer to the hatch would help you much if any. i would leave it about where it is in that aspect.

i like the batt where it is

if i drop it down to .5 ohms then i'll throw some 8 or 12 ga on.

if you can.............it'd help ALOT to have that battery as close to the amp as possible, especially if its just for a burp. splice together like 3 or 4 runs of 1/0 for the power and again for the groud between the battery and amp.

to do this you'll strip the sheathing off like 6 or 7 inches of the runs, then you'll cut off like each run a few inches up to the end so that the last run is about 1inch long and that will go into the power terminal. the other lil runs you're gonna retwist all into each other pretty much makeing it one big run, and the end will be the 1inch section going into the power/ground terminal. the idea you want is that of the cut off ends, make sure there are no dead ends. think of dead ends like the lil wires that dont go into the terminal when you mush them in and the end of the wire isnt touching anything. this can add resistance. spread out these shorter cut ends so that all the wires are making good contact.

for burps, this will help alot. especially if you're doing low imp burps.







position is good, best position will depend on how close the box is to the the hatch, but thats differant for every install and every car. the differance may not be audible as far as best spl postion, but play with it anyways... i'd say seats down, box on passenger side and get that battery on a charger and have it fully charged for the show

as long as you burp as little as possible just to put up a score, the sub will have a chance holding up mechanically and thermally. again this isnt good for the sub, but if done right you should be ok for these short burps.

I don't think you can compete with a battery in the cabin. almost every league has rules against that except for radX classes

I like the 0 gauge power and 4 gauge ground //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Nicest install I've ever seen. I like how everything is tucked away nicely.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
