Type R build. Pics. vids soon.

Hey for the last week I have been workin on and off on my box for my type R. I got it installed today and am really taking it easy on the sub. After a few more hours of use Ill wang it hard. Its loud.. VERY loud. I wont have the system for too long just wanted to see what the type R hype is and I would say they are DEFFINETLY worth the money and sound good. Im pretty sure i am easily hitting over 140. I have hit 137 (new TL) with my 10" w7 and this is alot louder... 140 easily. The t5001bd is giving it just shy of 1000watts. My box is 4 cubes after displacement tuned to about 30hz it KILLS low lows. However It misses out on alot of the high stuff that my W7 hit real good. Ill have vids in a few days once I feel I can wang it real hard. Here's the pics. Keep in mind this is my first box ever built and im only seventeen.

Here is a vid. In the vid my sub level is on 8 (outta 15) and Im not up all the way on the volume. Im on 20 and it stops getting loud around like 28.

not sure here, maybe my logic is off...but i would say because it looks fvcking great with that curve, but im betting it was also a bit of trouble to get it all nice and neat looking like that

great job btw man im 17 as well and build some boxes for friends and whatnot so I know how hard it is to make something that looks THAT good(and sounds good as well)...

Keep up the good work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah it was alot of trouble and no its not perfect. Close up it doesnt look perfect by any means but no way does it look bad. Still looks real nice.

If i was going to keep it for a while I might look into getting a new amp and give it around 1500 but it still SLAMS with what it has.. I mean I am overpowering it but yeah they can take way more.
