Put in a little work on the Lexus this weekend.

Well, I've been putting it off for some reason, but I finally went ahead and did the "Big 3." And FYI- I gained .7v from it, so take that for what it's worth. I also got another battery for the trunk since I upgraded amps. I found a G31 AGM 90ah battery at a local distributor for $60. Yes, $60. With a warranty. Also got a Stinger dash mount voltmeter to monitor thangs while I'm wangin'.

Ok, now on to the good stuff... If you didnt' see my past threads, my old set-up was a single DD 2510 in a 4th order on an MMATS d300hc doing 139.7's. I decided to upgrade basically everything in the trunk this weekend including all of the 1/0 and my highs amp. I had a DD C4B running the highs and I swapped it out for an old school Zapco. The little Zapco is owning the DD, btw.

I didn't think to take many pics of the build because it only took me a couple of hours, but here's a couple of the innerds before I buttoned it all up. The new set-up is a pair of AQ HDC3 10's on an AQ2200 @ 1ohm. The box is 2.25net with 40sq in of port tuned to 40hz. The baffle looks off because it was a late addition and the braces are different sizes because they are whatever scrap wood I had laying aorund. And yes, I cleaned up that wire. Lol.

Not bad. It's a 4db gain over my last set-up, so I'm going in the right direction. That was at 39hz which is odd because my box is tuned to 40. I still have some testing to do and a couple other things, not the least of which is the DynaMat that's been collecting dust in my closet. For those of you who care, it was mid 141's sealed on the dash and same score for "Street Beat."

 
not bad man not bad at all. i love watchin trunk builds reason being trunks are just lil more work to get loud but for you to be doing that number at 39hz man is just crazy man. have you tried playin higher freq to see what it does.

 
Yeah, I ran through some of the higher tones. I actually did a 143.5@50hz too. I was thinking I might have to explore that peak some. It sounds great. I would love to know what this set-up would be doing in a CRX or hatch. Lol.

lol a crx or hatch lol somewhere around 154 prolly lol dude those freaks of nature cars are too easy i think personally its alot of work don't get me wrong but trunks are where its at man. if you can get a trunk car to do the number the crx's are doing with less power than that my dear friend is an achievement to me lol. me personally i think music on 150 or higher out of a trunk is just freakin insane. an when i say from the trunk i mean everything is in the trunk, amp, batts, an subs an box in the trunk.

 
The other thing about trying to get good numbers from my trunk is that the seats don't fold down. All of the loudest guys can seal their box off against the back seats. Not an option for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I only have a little 8x13" ski pass.
