Moved on to sealed 15. After letting the avalanche 15 sit in my room for 3 months, i finally installed it. 2.2 cubes sealed, with 400watts from my monitor mk2.120. Great setup. Very loud, very clean. I listen to a lot of rock, so i scrambled for any cd's with some loud kick drums. Rage against the machine's "killing in the name of" sounded more amazing than ever. Chevelle was slamming too. Threw in an IASCA test disc and went to the spl track. Lets say I confused the neighbors. Now i gotta deaden that trunk and work on my amprack/false floor. I'm waiting on some wiring items i need to tidy things up.

btw..I installed a different head unit too, in record time...7 minutes.

 

hmmm.... Chevelle sounded awesome with my 4 12"s in a vented box Guess it's all in the equipment you have.

 

Sounds great. I am also working on building a system for my car. Good luck with the floor and rack.

 

so glad you posted this thread. over winter break i plan on sealing my ava 15 in that exact same size box. please give a full review when you test more stuff out! glad you like the sub so far.

 

I'll test some more once the tylenol kicks in The only thing its weak on is bands with a ***** kick drum; definitely not the sub's fault. Then again...I haven't added any bass boost either You're a basshead...keep it ported Or is it too loud?

I wanted to do a foward firing/sealed off trunk from cabin type setup, but couldn't manage the precise cuts with a jigsaw....then after hookin it up i realize i coulda fiberglassed the baffle side and no fancy cuts required! D'OH! Now its gettin a lil nipply for glass, but atleast its loud enough for me rear firing.

 

i do like my bass but its so tempting to use an nxl2 sub in a selaed box...especially a 15. i think a sealed 15 ava would have sick low end. play 3 6 mafia-late nite tip and let me know hwo the low end is.

 

nice, that's roughly the size of my box for my 15". Nice SQ and can get realllly low.

 

my burner is on the fritz, so 3-6 mafia will have to wait their turn.

 

3-6 mafia will get very low in that sealed box. that ava is a real low end monster.

 

sweet. sealed boxes all the way

oh and that entire Rage cd rules!

 

Do you know how what frequencies that song dips into? My box is tuned to about 32hz and I don't have a subsonic filter. I haven't had any problems so far with that song so I would guess it dips to about my tuning frequency.....it gets crazy loud on my setup. It sounds a little uneven when the bass notes go up in the spectrum during the refrain though cause my sub is crossed at 70hz.

 

that song dips to the high 20s/low 30s iirc

how much power are you sending the sub?

 

I'll check tomorrow. my box is tuned to 35 hz and if i see much excursion and some chuffing ill know its below tuning. i feel its around 32ish but who knows.

 

I have a MA audio 15" in a 4 cubic' ported box. Cheep sub but it gets the job done.

 

I like sealed myself....bass has a much tighter puch to it......ported gives you that deeeeep bass, nothing wrong with that, but I like the sound of a sealed box....

 

My situation was almost identical to yours it was a pain to get it all done.

 

what situation? he was just telling us how his 15 sounded in a sealed setup. oh wait, you're just whoring to get 15 posts

 

KCIDMIL...seriously...if you really have 4 12's in ported boxes...its not that i doubt you...well, i do...but ive gota see pix...

 

You can doubt him if you like, but he did in fact have them, I can confirm this.

 

yep i can confirm as well. he had them in his frontier before he sold it.

 

still have them too, wish someone would buy them.







If you think I'm pulling your leg on the pic... go here

click on my Frontier and go to page 4. The Colorado in the last pic, and the Colorado listed on my Cardomain will confirm it. Especially since the picture with the Subs and Colorado is not put up on the site, mearly listed on my picture listing.

 

Ben, I wouldnt even worry about proving anything, this guy went on a PWing rampage last night and was just lucky I was too tired and busy to log into the modcp.

 

ehhh... I'm thinking I'm just going to use the subs, and get the MCD1100 amp. Put those into the maxima. Come January, I'm going to try and sell the Colorado. I figured it up, and I can have a extra $200 every paycheck for use on the Maxima.
