Yeah, we had some problems. First problem is I'm the world's slowest box builder. LOL. Be patient guys, and we'll show ya what it can do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

J25 if we would have had the wiring right when we went to test, I am pretty confident it will do a 50 if not better, I think cutting down the box from 3.0 after displacement down to 2.5, but add more port area it will come to life with the power....

Yeah, that whole wiring thing still pisses me off. Not to mention the ghetto lumber yard that doesn't know the difference in particle board and MDF. Oh well. We'll get it on the meter soon enough.

Well this next tid bit of info will sit nice for you, Its louder NOW with 2 kinetik 1800s in the back 1 in the front sittin at 13.8 with 1 amp at 0.75 How do I know this, because it does a 45@volume 22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems like a decent amp, once you get it figured out! I really cant wait to see when we strap them on the shw 12 in that box, still think 2.5 tuned at 40hz with 50-65 of port is gonna be the sweet spot, also building that **** rack to house amps will help alot in room, along with a battery rack, next weekend ok? Bryan said he will come up for it.....FYI I was so close to going to the platte city show, but I was like swerving off the road as it was, so I figured I would just sit this one out....lol Kinda gonna bug me if a piss more score won though!!

I could see mid 50's for SB1 from 1 12" as long as the sub doesn't go into power compression or get really d*mn hot.

I did a 149.5 with a type-r 10" and only about 1800 actual watts for a streetbeat run. Given a proper sub and more power (more batteries as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ), I could see a low 150 for 30 seconds with one 10".

Maybe I'll test that when my 9510 recone gets here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you gots the powa //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif did J like them??

 

[jmanjr]

yes, once we figured everything out at about 2am!! Plus I felt bad because it was His anniversary! This coming weekend we will for sure try this new box design out to keep the sub under control, as far as it getting hot that was not an issue, thus far I cant say much, because we havnt tested much, but I know with the new power the Aq was louder after the recone, so we shall see what this up coming weekend unfolds

[jmanjr]

Yea they cost a bit, but being able to handle 12k+ for 30 seconds I cant complain, really cant wait to inveil my secret plan, J25 and Nomad know about it thus far, may not show it until finals or so........//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Our team has RD Elite SPL subs in the lanes as we speak. No real problems so far. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

I really haven't formed much opinion about the sub yet. Beefy as a cow, and looks pretty well made. Has huge tinsel leads, the coil looks strong through the basket vent, and suspension feels stiff enough to take some power.

I just heard it play for a min. Something didn't sound quite right, so I pulled the sub back out of the box and double checked the wiring. Everything was OK there, so we decided the box must suckballs (which I should have known better, but it was really late and I was tired). We stuck the AQ setup back in, and it all the sudden suckedballs too. We knew exactly what the AQ setup would do, and it doesn't ****, so we went searching and found a wiring problem elsewhere in the car. It was so late, we never stuck the RD back in for another test. Our women were ready to take aim and fire!

Next weekend we should have more test time, since we have no major fabrication to do. Maybe we'll get some vids taken then.
