My build log...

[the_dude 10+ year member]

OLD SETUP:

144.3 db with a brand new TL meter legal at the windshield

(1) DigitalDesigns 3515d sub

3.5cu.ft box precision ports tuned to 36 sub up ports back

(1) Rockford Fosgate 1000a2 amp

4awg power cable

Stock alternator

Stock battery

Here is a picture...This was the 3rd box built for this sub(1st with precision ports) and apparently there was too much port, so I blocked off the center port hole and it sounded better, and was louder.

----------------------------------------------

NEW SETUP:

??? db

(1)18" Ascendant Audio Mayhem

8cf box w/ precision ports tuned to 35hz sub up ports back

(1)Hifonics XXV Colossus amp 3200rms@2ohms

(1-run)3/0 welding cable from front to back

Big-3 wiring upgrade

6 Panasonic AS00815-1 batteries in back

200amp excessive amperage alternator

Still waiting for the sub and alternator to show up, expect pictures of the new install process.

Here are some pictures so far of what I have recieved...Sorry for the dirty batteries, they will be cleaned up in the final install.

I have 3 more ports still in the packaging, just didn't feel like pulling them all out for the pictures.

Some progress in the install...

that was true in the days of asphalt cased batteries, but plastic case batteries don't seem to suffer from that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Those batteries are actually only temporary, but 3 of them are about equivalent to 1 31 group blue top.

The batteries were only set on the concrete for a hour or so, they are now in a big cardboard box.

And thanks for the compliments //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

"This was the 3rd box built for this sub(1st with precision ports) and apparently there was too much port, so I blocked off the center port hole and it sounded better, and was louder."

It's a really good idea.

I like single sub setups, especially when it's a 15
