Its like foam/glue. Once you use it you pretty much have to get a new tire. It "should" get you were you need to go but it sucks to change the tire after as well. You have to all but chisel it off the inside of the rim as well. Nasty ****...then again if your tire is flat, your going to get another one anyway so whatever.

 

hmm. ive thought about taking out the spare/jack to save weight but im not sure if its worth it.

 

If you can keep it, then keep it. Unless your some1 who's trunk is somewhat like mine and access to the spare isnt going to be possible. Then its fine to remove it. Just be sure you got AAA gold for free towing

 

Destroy is a little dramatic don't you think. I have personally taken one my tires off the rim after fix-a-flat use and it is'nt that much more difficult in the least. Most of it will stay liquid away. If someone else is going to fix always inform them you use it though, it can be very messy.

 

messy? Try explosive.

 

nothing special:






Ant

 

Who made that enclosure? That looks nice and you still have a usable trunk. I think I might have to dump my sub box and do that.

 

here is what will be going in my trunk tomorrow.









ill post pics when done.

 

for some reason those links dont work for me

 

Thats a 15 you got there right?

Tell me your going to port it

Nice amp too, make sure you upgrade you elec system, that thing sucks some serious juice. You know, big 3, ect... im sure you need no explintaton.

 

yep its a 15",, box will be 3.75ft^3 @ 35hz.

I was originally going to build it 4cuft, but David from RE gave me the box plans for that sub. So i figured ill just build what it says...

and to be honest... I have absolutely no clue what the big 3 is... would you explain?

i plan on getting a yellow top battery for the time being.. then later on upgrading my alt. and possibly another battery on down the line.


EDIT* do you happen to know when the donations page is going to be back up?

 

You better run an SSF set at around 38-40hz man, that things gonna be loud as hell but dont go around playing songs like light night tip or anything that dips too low. That limits of that sub are pretty damn close to the Brahma and mine goes into xsus at around 21hz with a 3.5ft^3 box tuned to 28hz fed by 1.2Kw. I run an ssf set at 30hz.

I havnt modeled it up yet, but your going to be near your xmax at about 30hz. Dont quote me on that, but I doubt im far off. Its gonna be loud as hell man, thats for damn sure.


Your on SIN right? you havnt heard that term be4
Upgrade the wires under to hood, or should I say add them.

Add atleast a 4awg wire from your alternator to the battery.
Chassis to battery ground
Chassis to engine ground

Those should be enough to help power flow a bit.

Thats what I did, I have a yellow top...well I have two of them. I have yet to get a 200amp alternator but my voltage holds pretty high. 13.9-14.1 while the car is running & 13.2 with the car off. So im not worried about the alternator just yet. I dont have a cap either.


For this site? well whenever our admin Y2KevSE shows up...if he ever does that is, you can contact him. Him and Jane havnt been around for months though. Not even the mods are able to get a hold of them so, thats still up in the air for now.

 

Cost me:

1 sheet 3/4" MDF precision cut $50
2 2X4 1/2" MDF sheets $10
Black vinyl $12
Glue $8
2 2X4 hardwood sheets $8
JL Audio dual 10" tub $Priceless$
Jig saw blades $5

 

Since I just finished my upgrade today I figured I would post.

Replaced my single Kicker Comp VR sub (Actually I blew it so I needed a new sub anyway) with 2 new Elemental Design 12Kxs and build a new box from scratch that would fit perfectly. I am happy with the way it all turned out, but I am glad this project is over.

Let me know what you think.

 

Damn Nathan, thats a clean install. Looks nice.

C3nthusiast: JL tub? it looks clean though. What model JL's are those W3?

 

have you tried playing with the box location? like moving it to the back of the trunk to see how it sounds? btw it looks great. nice amp choice..got love the look of the nomex cones. what size is the box your using there?

 

Thanks for the compliments. This project kicked my a$$. Most of my selft installs have been fairly basic. This is the first box I have built/amp rack I have built myself. Tou have it actually come out the way I wanted it to feels good. I don't plan on moving the box around at all. I honestly needed some trunk space back. The box gives me back some of what I was missing. These subs sound awesome and they are only in 1 cubic foot each.

 

Man you guys have got some big a$$ systems. Nice! Mine pales in comparison but it is good enough for me. Plexi behind armrest, got glow here.
BA RC 620 system up front
Infinity 6502i in rear door
JL Audio 12W3v2 sub
Soundstream E5700 amp


Just need to tidy up a few things and it will look better.

 

looks very nice and clean!

 

ok here's some pics of my trunk,, got it "finish" (although its not) today

 

big box.. how does it sound?

 

Nice work man, good choice on the brand too

 

its very loud... and sounds very good at doing it....
also..... i could post some vids... but i don't know how to get them on the comp when the camera is not digital anyone care to tell me how?

 

the more i read this thread...my hunger for bass increases...

 

It's a little bit more involved than digital video, but you'll will need a device/hardware that converts the analog signal to digital. You can get a device like this that plugs into your USB port or an actual PCI card that installs onto the motherboard.

 

ah ok thnx.... ill have to look into that.

 

Not finished yet, but you get the idea







The window is too big and "off" so I need to re-cut a new piece. But here's the idea. Gonna be sick when it's finished

 

Looking good Conrad.

 

 

Looks hot conrad.

 

conrad, what amp is that? It's huge!

 

Eclipse DA7232 ... The biggest one they have

 

Man that's a big amp, what are you going to do cooling wise for the amp? Looks like it can get pretty warm tucked in the wheel well. Looks good!

 

There's like a 2 inch gap on either side of the floor so the amps can breathe. But nonetheless I have to think up a fan idear

 

No need for fans, the amp is extremely efficent and runs pretty cool. Yes its been in a covered wheelwell before.

 

My audio guru says I don't need a fan

 

 

i'll be posting pics by next weds of my compleated project

 

me to ill be posting pix soon

 

Night pics are here:
