time to wall the 05 civic

[shakinghorizons]

Well I don't know something about having enough bass in a small car to not only damage your hearing but annoy everyone within a block radius i'm against.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Some of us don't like the casual commute to work. id rather be riding a shaking rollercoaster full of music, cant read anything, vision is blurred. I just loves the bass and i cant seem to get enough of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I am respectful though do not get me wrong, shit is always paused at stoplights, and residential neighborhoods, thats disrespect.

Colin, i do like this idea rather, gives room for the seats, port is center and subs visible all the way around. Also i could actually build this in 2 seprate boxes if at all possible in avoidance in removing my center consule and disassempling my shifter

FINE!!!take his side lol two boxes is better than one

 

[shakinghorizons]

how bout this for a port location??

srry it so crude (drew fast ) but you get the idea

I like this also, but the port i would rather do a slot all the way across the top

 

[got_focus? 10+ year member]

Never going to be able to do a slot all the way across due to having a "beauty" panel covering the sides

I'm pretty sure you will need to remove the center console.

My wall took 3 boxes to make work and it's sealed with beauty panels, but no great foam or anything so I know that's costing me on the meter. I gained .6dB just by putting the top panel in place.

You could do copper coils at that power level and save some $$$ unless you already have 2 alum coils.

Why can't he do side panels with a port all the way across the top? The side panels can sit flush with the face and screw into extra pieces put on the sides.

I will need to measure the max height on the door to see how tall i can even get and how long before it slopes down and would catch a corner. Or build the whole thing from the inside like my last 3 boxes haha

you dont have enough power for 3...esp with rise

The whole reason i went to the wall was cause im not happy with my 40.1

@ 1ohm load, i just reconed from HDC3 Dual 2 copper, to HDC3 dual 1 aluminum, my copper dual 2's sat at .5 ohm and my 40.1 would scream with that ohm load. i wad doing low 48s on music with windows down and now im doing low 46s with the windows down, at least a 2 db downgrade, its driving me nuts at 1 ohm. so now i figured i would add another and have 3 with a .6 ohm and i don't see why i wouldn't be happy, should be at least a 2 db gain from 48s.

Not if i install a capacitor!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif haha just messin, i think 3 15's on a clean 4.5k should do well enough for awhile. . . . ill want more eventually

 

[shakinghorizons]

how would i approach sealing it off? suggestions? I was thinking backtape everything and them expanding foam or ductape and layers of fiberglass over that. . .

You would probably be louder on that power with copper, but no biggie.

If you can get behind the panels once they're in place then use Great Stuff or whatever. I don't compete, so numbers don't matter, so I didn't go to that extreme to seal it off. Just wanted a loud daily driver that kills on rock/metal and that it does...

Forgot to ask you what part of CO are you from? I have family in Loveland and Denver and usually visit once a year, but I won't be bringing the 2 seater Altima this time LOL
