any testing?

Ended yesterday with 149ish with a make shift seal job and without the box sealed.

I'm pretty much beat! It's been pissing rain non stop so work has been slowed. I did get the box sealed, rewired everything and made a make shift stand to hold both 5k's. As soon as I get some more wood I'm gonna move the silver amp to the left side and have both 5k's standing one in front of the other.

I used the original back and marked where the screws were on it so I wouldnt tap into a stripped hole. Drilled all new holes and sunk 3 screws into the 45. Tomorrow I'll crawl in the box and resin along all cracks just to make sure its sealed.

You can see the marks I made.

All tests yesterday were with the amp settings and HU settings the same. I know that the amp will react different with a difference in impedance rise caused by a diff. box and tuning. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to do some amp tweaking and gain some more output.

I took a piece of wood and routered out 2 amp size holes to help hold the amps in place. Now I just got to get some strapps or? to secure them.

Had a scrap piece of wood so I did a mock up of what I was considering for sealing the cabin.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Behind the sides will be stuffed with foam. I made the trim piece that goes along the top of box face that will allow me to put foam around all edges.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Got it pretty well sealed up with Ducttape. Tomorrow I'll throw it on the meter and maybe take a vid or 2.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Sealing the cabin made a huge difference! Even if it is only tape holding the boards in place.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

If it pans out I'll make some fiberglass panels helping to seal and smooth at the same time.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i know you've mentioned it before, but...

would love to see the faces on some these guys with bigger subs when you are just as loud if not louder. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/awesome.gif.4430a219d9aaaa6cadc75e9290979dfb.gif

i love that your as loud as you are with tens.your work ethic kick *** too man.It takes a lot of balls to rip out your setup and totally redo it when your already hittin some good numbers.

 

[thorshammer1 10+ year member]

Thanks for all the positive feedback fellas!

First round of tests are in the books and I'm not too dissappointed.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have a few more tests to run and placements to try then I'll rip it up and push it as far back as possible and still fit 1 Atomic behind it. We shall see whats loudest with this box and finish it up there.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Very nice! How well does it meter with porting on passenger side? I've thought about a box with aeros facing forward. Maybe a project to try down the road. LOL
