whats up guys.
i have been troubling myself for the past couple days after the wall has been finished up in my truck.
ok, ill give you a little backround.
4 15" atomic ELE
atomic 5000.1
3 alt. setup, 1 stock 2 iraggi 300amp
2 runs of 1/0 gauge power and ground so 4 total.
stock bat up front for regular junk
2 kinetic 2400 1 kinetic 1800
2 arc audio 4080d
3 sets of infinity kappa componets
1 extra set of infiniti kappa tweeters
i had a slant box (pics follow below) dont know the exact specs on it, cant remember, and it slammed, well i really wanted a little bit more, figured it should hit louder for what i had, or maybe i just needed more power, 5k watts (6900 exact watts bench tested at 14.5 volts when NOT hot)
so i was wanting to add another 5k amp, however the subs are coiled at 2ohms and they would have to be rewound at dual 4 to add an extra amp and make it run right, didn't really feel like sending my subs back to cali and have them rewound.
so the first step into making things better was building a wall.
picked it up today, not happy, it doesn't slam low at all, its all mid range bass mostly, it does hairtrick and my old box wouldnt really move hair, that was about the only cool thing i got out of it, beside the cool looking facter.
it doesnt give you that LOW deep ear peircing hurting sound that my old box gave.
so im ready to tear it apart again unless it can be made to hit low???
the builder said the box is i think 4.5 cubic ft and he said that since the subs fire foward, its not going to give you the drop as much as if fired towards the rear? i can understand that.
then he said to let the subs break into the box for a week and see how that goes and then he can retune the box if needed.
second, the amp gets HOT where its at, it has no circulation like before when it was inside the car where the air could hit it etc etc. so they said they could build some fans in the back of the wall to cool the amp...do you think that would be sufficient.
next thing, im afraid because this wall is so huge, that i maybe need more power to push the air since the box i had before was quite a bit smaller and maybe the one amp made it sound like it should since there was less airspace.
please please help, i know htere is hella questions, but im trying to get extra advice other than my audio shop.
heres the pics of the old setup
heres the new setup
thanks for all the help and time
