Thats what all quiet people say to loud people.

As @adulbrich would say, just because you can do a 160 doesn't mean you have to listen to it on the daily at 160. That's what the volume and gain knobs are for

What I plan on doing in my truck is giving the person the LC-1 who is getting a demo and telling them to turn it up as loud as they want. That way if they only want a 145 they can turn it up just a little, 150 turn it up more, 155 go full tilt!

Keep up the good work @ObTechAudio! The box looks incredible so far and I'm learning a lot from your build!

As for hair tricks. Im not sure thats a product of spl numbers alone. More cone area vs frequency I believe

You have to be loud to do hairtricks. You have to be loud at low frequencies. It has to do with how much air you're moving, NOT cone area :fyi:

My two DD Z 18's did a better hairtrick than my three 21" Wardens. The 18's box was tuned at 27hz with 18 square inches of port per cube. Perfect for hairtricks, imo.

The 21's box was tuned at 33hz with something like 12 square inches of port per cube. Not ideal at all.

If you don't want to hear it, don't sit in the vehicle. Some people like it.

Exactly what I think, lol. For demo's, I play it a click louder than what I like to listen to daily


Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've got an RCA level controller I was thinking about extending the cables on and giving control to the passenger

[quote name='dailyrider123']@ObTechAudio OK find out the shipping cost I'm shipping my truck to you when I get everything together! Man this build is sick frfr and I know its going to be brutal! I see at least a 165db out of her[/QUOTE]

Thanks man! Send your car on over! haha

 

[ObTechAudio]

I feel like anything thats louder than tolerable on a spl vehicle is pointless. Once you have to be out of the vehicle just to have it on, it becomes stupid. .

There is a volume knob that can be used to turn down the music to make it tolerable for people that usually cannot tolerate loud boomy things.

Correction -- a car that YOU don't want to be in.

Thanks man! Your build is hella clean. No way you're learning from this trashy thing haha

Lines ran to the Fourplay for the air ride system. This build is unique because not only are we trying to make it a 160+ demo monster, but we're trying to do it while slamming frame. The air ride system alone is a big beast.

Terrible photo with all of the dust flying around, but the side glass pieces are fitting very nicely and how we planned. The door gasket fits perfectly over the glass.

Time to make things smooth //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

We chose to use UPOL Flyweight Gold. This stuff is the bee's knees. Sands beautifully. We had a tough time applying it in the port with all of the angles and lack of space to move around in, but it's nothing that some sanding can't fix.

The aftermath of some sanding...

you should be using a real organic compound mask. That stuff is VERY VERY bad for you.

Hopefully the mask I have will do for this build. If it fails me, it better be doing a 165dB so my lungs don't die for nothing.

Masks are $40 btw. Cheaper than chemo

My 3M full face mask was $250 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I can sit inside my wall and fiberglass for hours without even smelling resin, lol

I've got chemical and small particle filters
